Local emergency lighting installation in Hailsham

Exit signs in Hailsham premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Hailsham buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.
