Warehouse lighting in Mallaig
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. For Mallaig 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 Mallaig
Loading bays in Mallaig need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Mallaig warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Mallaig is a local centre, covered by postcode districts PH41 and PH40. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Mallaig 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.
