Local warehouse lighting in Blackford
In Blackford 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.
Many Blackford sites run two or three shifts, so lighting hours are high and LED payback is quick, often inside three years.
We cover the whole of Blackford, including the PH4 and PH3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Auchterarder, Muthill and Alva.
