Emergency lighting for Halifax buildings
Halifax has some of the finest Georgian and Victorian buildings in Yorkshire, including the Grade I listed Piece Hall, alongside converted mill complexes and modern industrial units.
In historic buildings we choose fittings that suit the interior and plan wiring to avoid damage. For offices we light escape routes, stairs and exits so people can leave safely in a power cut. For warehouses and factories we light escape routes and high-risk task areas around machinery.
