Warehouse lighting in Shotts
What we do in Shotts: lED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Shotts warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
Local warehouse lighting in Shotts
Loading bays in Shotts need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
In Shotts 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.
Shotts is a smaller town, covered by postcode district ML7. We regularly work across Lanarkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
