Warehouse lighting in Duns
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Loading bays in Duns need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
Local warehouse lighting in Duns
Warehouses around Duns often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
For Duns sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Duns sits within the Scottish Borders. We work throughout the TD11 postcode district and surrounding places, including Greenlaw, Cornhill-on-Tweed and Cockburnspath.
