Emergency lighting installation in Lakes

What we do in Lakes: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Self-test emergency fittings suit many Lakes buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Local emergency lighting installation in Lakes

In Lakes, 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.

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

Lakes sits within Cumbria. We work throughout the LA22 postcode district and surrounding places, including Windermere, Coniston and Kendal.
