Warehouse lighting in Glasgow
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Glasgow sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Glasgow
In Glasgow 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 Glasgow sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
We cover the whole of Glasgow, including the G2, G4 and G1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Rutherglen, Bishopbriggs and Giffnock.
