Warehouse lighting in Portree
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Portree 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 Portree
In Portree 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 Portree sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Portree sits within the Highlands and Islands. We work throughout the IV51 postcode district and surrounding places, including Kyleakin and Plockton.
We cover Portree 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.
