When it come to emergency lighting, it is important to understand that if you are the owner/management of a commercial, industrial, HMO premises or a management company overseeing the maintenance contract of a blocks of flats, it is a legal requirement that your building has an emergency lighting system that provides a clear exit route in the case of an emergency.

The principle of these systems is they are controlled through a key-switch module which isolates the power to your emergency lights, and kicks in a battery supply that provides you an illuminated exit route to the external of the building as stated above.

When it comes to emergency lighting, we find that 9/10 installations we come across, are wired incorrectly, which is why its important that when you have these systems installed, that a competent engineer is undertaking the work, which is where we come in.
