Warehouse lighting in Toab
In short: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Many Toab sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Local warehouse lighting in Toab
Loading bays in Toab 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 Toab warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Toab is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district ZE3. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Toab 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.

Toab FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Toab?
Most surveys in Toab can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Toab?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
How much can LED high bays save?
Replacing metal halide with LED often cuts lighting load by around 50–70%. One common example is a 400 W lamp drawing about 430 W with its gear, replaced by a 150 W LED fitting.
