Local warehouse lighting in Hawick
Warehouses around Hawick 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.
Loading bays in Hawick need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.
We cover the whole of Hawick, including the TD9 postcode district, and nearby places such as Selkirk, Jedburgh and Newtown St Boswells.
