Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting allows for the continuity of your usual activities or the safe evacuation of your premises should the building as a whole or a local lighting circuit loses power.
Lighting design combines the art of using light to accentuate the beauty of the built environment, with the safety requirements of the persons that have to exist within it. One must be able to see what is on the desk in front of them, and to be able to navigate around it unhindered. Just because emergency lighting is a safety service, does not mean it cannot be architecturally satisfying.

What emergency lights do I need?

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 is key, a maintained emergency lighting installation may be the answer to business continuity, enabling yourself and your employees to continue to perform until normal power is restored.

What does an emergency lighting installation involve?

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.
