How Does Emergency Lighting Work?
Emergency escape lighting can be installed simply to illuminate escape routes and fire exits, ensuring safe exits from the building in case of a fire. Additionally, businesses can choose to enhance their safety measures by installing emergency lighting in open areas.
This ensures that communal rooms and spaces remain lit during a fire or power outage, rather than being left in darkness. Whatever your business's safety lighting needs, Butlers Electrical Limited provides a free, no-obligation survey and quote.

Additionally, consider the ease of maintenance and the adaptability of the system to future changes in the building layout.
