Design-Led Emergency Lighting Solutions
Established in 1968, Philip Payne has built a reputation for delivering specialist lighting solutions that harmonise aesthetic design with functional compliance. Our journey began in Solihull, where we initially focused on decorative luminaires before evolving into a leader in emergency lighting and signage. Over decades, we have cultivated strong partnerships with architectural and engineering firms, supplying products for iconic UK projects such as the British Museum, Tower of London, and London Stadium. Our commitment to quality is underscored by accreditations including ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and membership in the Lighting Industry Association (LIA) and Industry Committee for Emergency Lighting (ICEL).We prioritise innovation, evidenced by our development of the Specto-XT wireless emergency lighting system, and maintain a 6-year warranty with no hidden clauses. Our team collaborates directly with architects to create bespoke solutions, ensuring projects meet legal requirements without compromising design integrity. With a heritage rooted in craftsmanship and a forward-looking approach to sustainability, we continue to shape industry standards through participation in technological and environmental advancements.
