Warehouse lighting in Dalwhinnie
What we do in Dalwhinnie: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Dalwhinnie 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Dalwhinnie
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Dalwhinnie warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Many Dalwhinnie sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
For Dalwhinnie premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Dalwhinnie by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
