Local emergency lighting installation in Gelligaer

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

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

For Gelligaer premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
