Emergency lighting
Installation and duration testing of the lighting that stays on when the mains supply fails, required in most commercial and communal areas. Emergency lighting is carried out nationally by electricians, with businesses concentrated in London and further representation in Birmingham, Eastleigh, Sheffield and Loughton. The work is also known as emergency lighting testing and escape lighting.
Why people have it done
- Escape routes stay lit when the mains supply fails.
