Local emergency lighting installation in Limehouse

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

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