Warehouse lighting in Stromness
What we do in Stromness: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Stromness sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Stromness
For Stromness sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Loading bays in Stromness need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Stromness sits within the Highlands and Islands. We work throughout the KW16 postcode district and surrounding places, including Gorseness and Kirkwall.
We cover Stromness 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.
