Industry-leading Emergency Light Testing that won’t leave you in the dark

Emergency lighting is lifesaving. In the event of an incident – such as a fire, billowing smoke or a power cut – emergency lighting plays a crucial part in supporting safe evacuation.

Without adequate emergency lighting, you’re putting everyone on your premises in danger if there’s an emergency.

What does ’emergency lighting’ mean?

There a three different types of emergency lighting and depending on the size or type of your business, it’s important you’re familiar with them.

Escape route lighting

This lighting signals the exits in the event of an emergency so people can evacuate safely. These lights can be found along corridors and above emergency exits.

High-risk task area lighting

This lighting is specific to areas where there is machinery, hazardous chemicals, or equipment that needs to be monitored when in use. In most emergencies, members of the public and employees can leave the building safely but for some workers, this isn’t always possible. For example, if an employee must wear noise-cancelling headphones whilst working, they might not hear the fire alarm so to make sure they evacuate safely you’ll need to install high-risk task area lighting.

Open area lighting

This is also known as ‘anti-panic lighting’ and is used to guide people to a place of safety quickly and efficiently.
