Emergency Lighting

Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting provides essential illumination during a mains power failure, helping occupants safely locate escape routes and exits. Fire Safety Systems provides emergency lighting design, installation, testing, certification and maintenance services for commercial and industrial premises.

Why regular inspections matter

Keep your emergency lighting inspection and service records up to date.

Emergency lighting only performs its critical role if the batteries, fittings and control gear are regularly inspected and tested. Faults and degradation can develop over time, particularly with battery-powered units.

Fire Safety Systems can carry out routine inspections and provide appropriate service and test records so you can maintain a clear picture of your emergency lighting system.
