Warehouse lighting in Lochgelly
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Lochgelly sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Local warehouse lighting in Lochgelly
Loading bays in Lochgelly need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Lochgelly 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.
Lochgelly is a local centre, covered by postcode districts KY5 and KY4. We regularly work across Fife, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
