Emergency Lighting & Exit Signs

When a fire cuts the power, corridors go dark and smoke fills them within seconds. People who walk those halls every day suddenly can't find the stairs.

Emergency lights switch on the instant the mains fail, and lit exit signs point the way out. Self-testing fittings prove they will work when you need them.

Why it matters

In the dark, people can't find a door they use every day

Fires often cut the power, and smoke makes corridors dark within seconds. Emergency lighting and illuminated exit signs show people the way out, light stairs and fire equipment, and prevent panic. Self-test systems prove they will work when needed.

Technical depth

Emergency lighting technologies

01

Maintained & non-maintained

Maintained fittings are always on (exit signs, cinemas); non-maintained light up only when mains fails.

02

Self-contained vs central battery

Battery in each fitting, or one central battery system that is easier to maintain in large buildings.

03

Self-test & addressable monitoring

Fittings test themselves monthly and annually and report faults to a panel.

04

LED & photoluminescent signage

Low-power LED exit signs and glow-in-the-dark way-finding.
