Emergency lighting provides illumination when the normal power supply fails. Its primary purpose is to help people safely evacuate a building and locate emergency exits during an emergency.
Emergency lighting units contain battery backups that automatically activate when mains power is interrupted. This allows designated lighting and exit signs to remain operational during power failures.
Many commercial and public buildings are legally required to have suitable emergency lighting installed. Requirements are generally determined through fire risk assessments and must comply with relevant regulations and standards such as BS 5266 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order.
The Health and Safety Executive recommends that emergency routes and exits requiring illumination should be provided with emergency lighting in case normal lighting fails. Systems should be properly maintained and regularly tested to ensure reliability.
Emergency lighting should undergo regular functional checks and annual full-duration tests. Keeping accurate maintenance records is also important for compliance purposes.
Many small businesses require emergency lighting depending on factors such as building layout, occupancy levels, and fire risk assessment findings. A professional survey can determine the requirements for your premises.
