Warehouse lighting in Walkerburn
LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. Available across Walkerburn and the Scottish Borders. In Walkerburn 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.
