Local emergency lighting testing in Hythe
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Hythe buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Where Hythe buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
For Hythe premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
