Local emergency lighting installation in Oswestry

In Oswestry, 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 Oswestry sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.
