Warehouse lighting in Bothwell
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. In Bothwell 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.
Local warehouse lighting in Bothwell
Loading bays in Bothwell need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Many Bothwell sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
Our teams travel to Bothwell from across Lanarkshire. Typical nearby jobs include Blantyre, Uddingston and Viewpark, so we can often combine survey visits.
