Emergency lighting is used to ensure the occupants of a building can safely exit the property in the event of an emergency.
As the responsible person for a commercial property, you have a duty of care to all users of a building to ensure your emergency lighting meets current regulations. Stator Electrical Solutions are experienced emergency lighting electricians based in Nottingham. Our emergency lighting electricians can design and install an emergency lighting system that conforms to BS 5266 of the Regulatory Reform Act and help keep your staff and visitors safe.
Emergency Lighting Design and Installation
Designing an effective emergency lighting system requires a high level of competency and experience in the field. It is vital that your emergency lighting electrician understands the latest regulations and can provide an installation that serves the purpose it was intended for. The guidelines are clear as to where lights must be installed. Emergency lighting needs to clearly highlight fire escape routes and provide sufficient illumination to allow occupants of a building to find these routes safely. Emergency lighting must also clearly show where firefighting equipment is located. In an industrial setting, emergency lighting should also be placed near machinery or equipment to allow safe movement.
All emergency lighting undergoes regular inspections, if the electrician you hire is unqualified or inexperienced you could find you fail your next inspection. As the responsible person this leaves you at risk of prosecution and having to bear the cost of a new emergency lighting installation. Using a qualified emergency lighting electrician ensures a fully compliant installation. At Stator Electrical Solutions, our knowledgeable electricians are all highly trained and can design and install an emergency lighting system that meets your specific needs.
Emergency Lighting Types
A combination of maintained and non-maintained emergency lighting will be installed by your electrician. Maintained emergency lighting is mains powered and is illuminated under normal circumstances. In the event of an emergency, the light switches to its back-up battery and will remain alight for a defined period. Non-maintained emergency lighting only switches on during a mains power failure.
Your emergency lighting electrician will install a mixture of bulkhead lighting, recessed lighting, decorative luminaries, and spotlights. The style used will depend on the space they are being installed in.
LED Emergency Lighting
LED emergency lighting will likely be recommended by your emergency lighting electrician. LED’s offer many benefits and are far superior in terms of performance and visibility. The benefits of LED emergency lighting include:
• Up to a 50,000-hour lifespan compared to 5-6000 hours for traditional emergency lights.
• Reduced maintenance, saving you on both time and costs.
• Energy efficient. Reduce your energy usage by an average of 60%.
• Available in a variety of styles and colours to suit your premises.
