Warehouse lighting in St Andrews
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in St Andrews need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Local warehouse lighting in St Andrews
In St Andrews 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.
For St Andrews sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Our teams travel to St Andrews from across Fife. Typical nearby jobs include Tayport, Cupar and Anstruther, so we can often combine survey visits.
