Warehouse lighting in Nairn
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Nairn 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 Nairn
Warehouses around Nairn often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
For Nairn 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 Nairn, including the IV12 postcode district, and nearby places such as Cromarty, Forres and Avoch.
We cover Nairn 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.
