Ensure safe evacuation during critical power failures. We design, install, and maintain fully compliant emergency lighting networks that guide your staff to safety, protecting your business from legal liability and operational downtime.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, failure to provide adequate emergency illumination is a criminal offense. Our systems ensure you meet all legal obligations while protecting human life.
When mains power fails during a fire or outage, panic ensues. Strategically placed emergency luminaires prevent disorientation and clearly illuminate escape routes, stairs, and fire exits.
We engineer systems strictly to British Standard BS 5266-1, ensuring correct lux (brightness) levels, duration, and placement. You receive the full certification required by fire officers and insurance providers.
Protect operators of dangerous machinery. “Stay-put” and “High-Risk Task Area” lighting provides immediate illumination so critical physical processes can be shut down safely before evacuation.
Not all emergency lighting is the same. From self-contained LED bulkheads to advanced central battery systems, we specify the exact hardware required for your building’s size and risk profile.
The most common and cost-effective solution for standard commercial premises. Each light fitting contains its own backup battery, ensuring illumination for the legally required 3-hour duration if the main circuit fails.
Designed for large-scale enterprise environments. Instead of individual batteries in every fitting, a robust central battery bank powers the entire emergency network, drastically reducing long-term maintenance and battery replacement costs.
Eliminate the massive labor cost of manual flick-testing. These smart systems automatically test their own battery health and lamp status, reporting any faults directly to a central control panel or cloud dashboard.
High-visibility, constantly illuminated (maintained) routing signs. Essential for guiding occupants through complex building layouts towards the nearest final exit point.
We don’t just hang lights; we calculate exact photometric data to ensure every square meter of your escape route meets the statutory minimum lux levels.
Our engineers use advanced software to map the light distribution in your premises, ensuring there are no dark spots on stairs, changes in direction, or near fire alarm call points.
We specify the correct operational type. “Maintained” lights stay on permanently (e.g., exit signs in a cinema), while “Non-Maintained” lights only activate when the standard power supply fails.
Proper maintenance is a legal duty. We provide full 3-hour drop tests to verify that your batteries will last the required duration, issuing a Certificate of Compliance upon completion.
If your building has been altered, or you haven’t had a full 3-hour discharge test in the last 12 months, you may be non-compliant. Let our certified engineers assess your premises to identify and rectify any failing luminaires.
We guarantee competitive pricing on all commercial emergency lighting maintenance and installation contracts across the Midlands, without ever compromising on life safety standards.
*Quote must be from a verified, accredited fire safety or electrical contractor for identical BS 5266-1 compliant specifications and testing procedures.By law (BS 5266-1), a short functional “flick test” must be carried out monthly to ensure the light activates. Additionally, a full 3-hour duration discharge test must be conducted annually by a competent engineer to ensure the batteries hold their charge.
For most commercial premises, emergency lighting must provide illumination for a minimum of 3 hours after a power failure. This allows enough time for safe evacuation and for emergency services to sweep the building.
Yes. A power failure can plunge stairwells, internal corridors, and windowless rooms (like toilets, basements, or server rooms) into total darkness, even at midday. The Fire Safety Order requires safe escape routes at all times, regardless of the time of day.
Emergency lighting must be strategically placed above all exit doors, along escape routes, at corridor intersections, stairwells, and near critical safety equipment like fire extinguishers.
UK safety regulations typically require commercial emergency lighting systems to operate on battery power for a minimum duration of 3 hours.
You are required to conduct a short monthly functional test (usually using a key switch) and a full, 3-hour duration test annually to ensure the batteries hold sufficient charge.
