Local emergency lighting installation in Pathhead

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

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

Pathhead is a local centre, covered by postcode districts EH37, EH35 and EH23. We regularly work across Edinburgh and the Lothians, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
