Warehouse lighting work in Fife
In Fife distribution units the key is the optic. Narrow-beam fittings down each aisle put light on the rack faces where pickers need it, rather than on the top of the racking.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Fife warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
What's included
- Loading bay, dock leveller and yard lighting
- Lift and scaffold access planned around your operation
- Presence sensing per aisle so empty aisles dim or switch off
- LED high bays or narrow-beam aisle fittings matched to racking heights
