What building type do you have, and what is its purpose? If you run a short-term holiday home, simply covering your stairwells and exits may be enough for the unfamiliar holiday maker to find their way to the emergency exit. In a work environment where contingency and flow are key, a maintained emergency lighting installation may be the answer to business continuity, enabling you and your employees to continue to perform until normal power is restored.
Emergency standby lighting can be included in totally new installations or retro fit onto an existing electrical system. The amount of lighting required will depend upon the dimensions of the space and the amount of light required. A consultation process shall lead into design, where the requirements of all stakeholders are considered. Installation shall be performed by a competent electrician or emergency lighting installer to the specification agreed, and commissioning may be as straight-forward as checking function and pairing manufacturers data with the design layout, or measuring lux levels for more daring projects. The emergency and standby lighting shall be maintained by means of a monthly functional test, with a full discharge test once yearly to check that the standby batteries are healthy enough to meet the standby time required.
Check out some of our most common questions.
It allows for regular activities to continue or ensures a safe property evacuation if a local circuit or the entire building loses power.
Yes, systems are customised so that safety compliance seamlessly blends with satisfying architectural aesthetics.
Short-term holiday homes may only require exit and stairwell coverage, whereas workplaces often need fully maintained standby systems to ensure business continuity.
Yes, emergency standby components can be integrated into entirely new builds or retrofitted onto existing electrical setups.
The process includes an initial consultation, space and dimension design mapping, electrical installation, and final system commissioning.
Standard projects involve checking functionality and pairing data layouts, while complex designs may require precise lux level measurements.
Systems require a brief functional test every month alongside a comprehensive discharge test once a year.
It verifies that the built-in backup battery packs are healthy enough to sustain lighting for the required standby duration.
