Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting is normally required to operate fully automatically and give illumination of a sufficiently high level to enable all occupants to evacuate the premises safely. Most new buildings now have emergency lighting installed during construction; the design and type of equipment being specified by the architect in accordance with current Building Regulations and any local authority requirements.

Beware of minimum safe standards

The British Standard provides the emergency lighting designer with clear guidelines to work to. BS 5266-1:  embraces residential hotels, clubs, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and colleges, licensed premises, offices, museums, shops, multi-storey dwellings, etc. Although this standard recommends the types and durations of emergency lighting systems relating to each category of premises, remember that the standards are the minimum safe standards for these types of building, and that a higher standard may be required for a particular installation.

Emergency lighting needs to be tested at regular intervals.

We will attend and advise you of a service routine that suits you and your building requirements. This can be annually - or more frequently if required. Contact us today to discuss your emergency lighting requirements.

Don’t get caught out

In addition to our ad hoc services we also offer a serviced contract. As a contract customer, we will provide you with a handy call-out service available 24/7, 365 days per year.

Did you know?

Emergency lighting can be ‘maintained’, (on all the time) or ‘non-maintained’, (normally off and only operates when the normal lighting fails).

Emergency lights should operate for one, two or three hours, depending on the application but in practice, most emergency lights are three hours. Emergency lights also come into their own during a power failure.

Whatever type of emergency lighting you already have in place, ADE Fire Services can provide maintenance plans to suit.
