Emergency lighting installation in Luton

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Available across Luton and Bedfordshire. In Luton, as elsewhere, the person responsible for fire safety must make sure escape routes are lit if the power fails. A clear design and certificate is the simplest evidence for your fire risk assessment.

Local emergency lighting installation in Luton

For larger Luton sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

We often find dark spots in Luton buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Our teams travel to Luton from across Bedfordshire. Typical nearby jobs include Dunstable, Thorn and Harpenden, so we can often combine survey visits.
