Emergency lighting for Otley buildings
Otley’s town centre is full of independent shops, pubs and cafés in older buildings, with homes and small business units around it. Many need systems that cover flats above shop premises.
For shops we light the sales floor, stockrooms and exits. For shared areas in flats and HMOs we light corridors and stairs as required by the fire risk assessment. For hotels and venues we light escape routes, function rooms and stairs used by guests who do not know the building.
