Emergency Light Maintenance

The main reason for installing an emergency lighting system is to enable the building to meet fire safety legislation in a way that is visually acceptable and meets the user’s needs for ease of operation and maintenance. These systems are used in a variety of buildings to provide illumination and to identify escape routes and emergency exits in the event of a power failure.
Most emergency lighting schemes fall into one of the following categories:-

• Non-maintained - The emergency light units only illuminate in the event of a mains failure.
• Maintained - The emergency light units are illuminated at all times using the same lamp for both normal and emergency operation.
• Sustained - The emergency light units are fitted with two lamps or two sets of lamps. One of which operates on mains 240V AC supply, the other which operates from the battery supply in the event of mains failure.
• Addressable - The emergency light units are all of the items listed above if required but also are all connected to an addressable panel via a network, this intern provides fully addressable information back to the control panel for the operator to pin point any faults, alleviating time consuming fault finding,

We are able to design, install, commission and maintain all of the above category systems in accordance with BS 5266-1:2005
