Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing safety during fire emergencies, serving as a vital component of fire alarm systems. In the event of a fire, where smoke and power outages can severely limit visibility, emergency lighting illuminates escape routes, guiding occupants to safety. Compliance with British standards, such as BS 5266, ensures that these systems are reliable and effective.
Type and placement of emergency lights must be carefully considered to cover stairwells, corridors and exits, enabling a swift and safe evacuation. Additionally, ongoing maintenance and testing of these systems are essential to ensure their functionality when needed the most, thus complementing the overall fire safety strategy within buildings.
