Local emergency lighting testing in Hove
Where Hove buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Annual emergency lighting tests in Hove are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
For Hove premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
