Emergency lighting
Emergency lighting is now mandatory in most building codes for commercial buildings, whether they’re new, old, or renovated. Whether or not it’s your legal obligation, Watts & Volts Electrical Services will always recommend the installation and regular testing of emergency lighting in your commercial space, to provide critical visibility of hallways, stairs and exits for your occupants in periods of power failure or outages.
At Watts & Volts Electrical Services, we’re fully trained to supply, install, test and certify your emergency lights, and we’re always available for emergency troubleshooting and repairs. We’re specialists in all types of emergency lighting, including:
- Exit lights: which indicate in power failures where the nearest exits are, and are an essential component of the fire safety requirements for commercial buildings.
- Standby lights: which turn on in the event of a power outage to allow work to continue uninterrupted
There are a number of electrical solutions available for emergency lighting, including energy efficient bulbs, and different combinations of power supply including:
- Maintained emergency lights: which are on all the time, usually in buildings that are occupied all the time.
- Non-maintained emergency lights: which only turn on in the event of power outage, usually in buildings that are only periodically occupied.
- Sustained emergency lights: where the light units are connected both to the main power supply, and a battery supply for operation in the event of power outage.
At Watts & Volts Electrical Services, we’ll help you figure out which options are the best for your business, and deliver emergency lighting design solutions to ensure that the most important areas in your space—exit doors, fire safety equipment, emergency stairwells and emergency call points—are well-lit and prepared for emergency situations. Our fully qualified professionals can also schedule regular 6 monthly testing for you, to ensure that your emergency lighting remains safe and operational, and to ensure that your building is compliant with building codes and legislation.
