Expert Emergency Light Installation by Spire

At Spire, we specialise in emergency light installation and maintenance to ensure businesses across London, the Midlands, and Home Counties are safe and compliant with UK emergency lighting standards.

We work to ensure your business, office, warehouse, retail unit, or residential block/apartment has the following:

• Well-lit escape routes
• Certified installations that meet BS 5266 standards
• Swift evacuation escapes in place for any emergencies.

Fundamentals of Emergency Lighting Installation

Emergency lighting is essential for all commercial buildings, ensuring safe exit paths during power failures and emergencies. Spire offers comprehensive installation services, from self-contained units for smaller offices to central battery systems for large complexes, ensuring coverage of all critical areas, including exits, stairways, and high-risk zones.

Emergency lighting is more than just a regulatory requirement for large commercial buildings; it’s a vital component of any emergency evacuation plan, as outlined in the BS 5266-1 2005 standards. 

Types of Emergency Lighting Systems

Spire offers two main types of emergency lighting systems tailored to fit the unique needs of your commercial space:

1. Self-Contained Emergency Lighting: Ideal for smaller spaces, this standalone system houses all necessary components internally, providing a dependable solution without needing external power sources.
   
2. Central Battery Systems: These systems are suitable for larger facilities with multiple levels and exit points. They feature a centralised power source, simplifying maintenance and inspection processes by consolidating critical components in one accessible location.

Emergency Lighting Maintenance for London, Midlands and Home Counties

Spire’s experienced electricians provide thorough emergency light inspections and maintenance, covering non-maintained, maintained, and decorative lights, to keep your premises safe, compliant, and functional.

Our regular maintenance service directly impacts the safety and well-being of everyone in the building and ensures reliable guidance during emergencies, lighting the way for all occupants so they can safely navigate escape routes, even in complete darkness:

Escape Route Lighting: Illuminates paths to exits, crucial for quick evacuations.

Standby Lighting: Ensures essential operations can continue during outages.

Open Area Lighting (Anti-Panic Lighting): Helps prevent panic in large open areas by providing sufficient illumination. (In addition to defined escape routes, all areas over 60m2 should be provided with emergency lighting).

High-Risk Task Area Lighting: Offers intense light for areas where dangerous tasks are performed, ensuring worker safety.
