Local emergency lighting installation in Ely

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

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

We cover the whole of Ely, including the CF5, CF11 and CF10 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Cardiff, Rhiwbina and Pentyrch.
