Industrial & Commercial FAQs

A PLC programmer oversees the programming of various machines functioning on programmable logic controller technology. PLC technology is a digital computer that controls electromagnetic processes, primarily in industrial equipment.

While commercial electricians work in residences, commercial buildings, or outside, industrial electricians work in industrial facilities like power plants, warehouses, and mines. The type of control systems and equipment they maintain often means they have more specialised expertise.

The lighting in a commercial interior can significantly impact customers' experiences. Proper lighting can draw attention to displays, products, or focal points, making them more visually appealing. It can also guide customers through the space, enhancing wayfinding and navigation and making their whole shopping experience more valuable.

The short answer is - Yes we can! Whatever the circumstances, the emergency lighting installation process will start with an industry-approved electrician or fire risk assessor visiting you to survey your premises and discuss your specific requirements. Emergency lights must indicate the nearest exit and provide sufficient illumination to guide building occupants to safety in the event of a mains power failure. For emergency lights to function during mains failure, they must immediately switch to their backup battery.
