What is Emergency Lighting?
Emergency lighting is a crucial safety feature designed to provide illumination when main power supplies are interrupted, ensuring occupants safely exit a building or continue critical operations. It is powered by a separate battery system or backup generator that automatically activates during a power outage.
The primary types of emergency lighting include:
- Emergency Escape Lighting – Helps occupants evacuate safely.
- Standby Lighting – Provides sufficient illumination to continue normal activities.
- High-Risk Task Area Lighting – Protects individuals involved in hazardous processes.
As an electrician providing emergency lighting solutions for a variety of environments encountered around Bath, Chippenham and Melksham, including offices, restaurants, pubs, warehouses, factories, studios, hospitals, and military infrastructure, we ensure each installation is customised to meet the specific needs of the environment. The end result is an emergency lighting installation that is both compliant and 100% reliable.
When is Emergency Lighting Required?
Emergency lighting is essential in any situation where a sudden loss of power could jeopardise the safety of occupants or the successful completion of critical tasks. This includes environments like hospitals, where uninterrupted lighting is vital for patient care, and warehouses or factories, where machinery operation may become hazardous without proper illumination.
In public spaces such as restaurants, pubs, and offices, emergency lighting ensures evacuation routes are clearly visible and accessible during an emergency, incorporating a mixture of elements such as standby lighting and emergency escape lighting.
Emergency Lighting Risk Assessments
A thorough risk assessment is a key part of the emergency lighting installation process. A KM electrician will evaluate your premises to determine:
- Duration – How long emergency lighting needs to remain operational during a power outage.
- Safety Equipment Locations – Positioning of fire alarm call points, fire fighting equipment, and fire safety signs.
- System Suitability – Identifying the type of emergency lighting system that best meets your specific requirements.
- Exit Presence – Ensuring exits and exit signs are well-lit and visible.
- Critical Areas – Highlighting areas most in need of emergency lighting, such as escape routes, open areas, and locations where high-risk tasks are carried out.
By performing these assessments, we can guarantee the emergency lighting systems present in Bath, Chippenham and Melksham premises are up to the task of protecting both personnel and the public.
Emergency Lighting Installation
Our meticulous installation process ensures every emergency lighting system is installed to the highest standard. The process includes:
- Mounting Luminaires – Emergency luminaires are strategically installed near exit doors, stairs, changes in level, and other critical areas to provide clear visibility during an emergency.
- Wiring & Power Supply – We ensure all emergency lighting is correctly wired to a reliable backup power source, whether a battery system or generator.
- System Testing – After installation, we conduct comprehensive testing to verify that the emergency lighting system functions correctly under simulated power failure conditions.
