Emergency Lighting

Our engineers can install all types of emergency lighting and maintain your existing systems where necessary.

Emergency lighting should be tested by brief operation every month, and by full rated duration discharge annually.

Emergency lighting is designed to illuminate if the main building lighting fails. It is intended to provide adequate light for the shutting down of processes or machinery and safe evacuation of the premises.

An emergency lighting system should normally provide sufficient illumination for the following areas,

• every exit door;
• escape routes;
• intersections of corridors;
• outside each final exit and on external escape routes;
• emergency escape signs;
• stairways;
• changes in floor level;
• windowless rooms and toilet accommodation exceeding 8m²;
• fire-fighting equipment;
• fire alarm call points;
• equipment that would need to be shut down in an emergency;
• lifts;
• areas in premises greater than 60m².
