Emergency lighting for Wakefield buildings
With major distribution and logistics sites around the motorways, much of our Wakefield work is on large open buildings where coverage, zoning and remote monitoring matter most.
For warehouses and factories we light escape routes and high-risk task areas around machinery. For offices we light escape routes, stairs and exits so people can leave safely in a power cut. For shops we light the sales floor, stockrooms and exits.
