Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting installation is a critical aspect of building safety, ensuring that there is adequate lighting in the event of a power outage or emergency, allowing people to safely evacuate the premises. Contact us to arrange installing emergency lighting for your home and/or business.
Assessment
The first step in emergency lighting installation is to assess the building and its specific needs. This includes considering the building's size, layout, occupancy, and potential emergency scenarios. A thorough assessment helps determine the type and placement of emergency lighting fixtures.
Design
Based on the assessment, a comprehensive emergency lighting system design is created. This design includes the type of emergency lighting fixtures (such as exit signs and emergency luminaires), their placement, and the layout of the system. It should also specify the location of the central power source (usually a backup battery or generator).
Compliance
The installation must comply with local building codes and safety regulations. It's essential to obtain the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities before proceeding with installation.
Wiring and Components
Our installation team will run the necessary wiring and install all the components of the emergency lighting system. This includes exit signs, emergency luminaires, battery backup units, and any central power sources.
Testing
After installation, the system is thoroughly tested to ensure that all components work correctly during a power outage or emergency situation. This includes testing the battery backup systems and ensuring that emergency lighting meets required illumination levels.
Documentation
Detailed documentation of the installation, including design drawings, as-built drawings, and test records, should be provided to the building owner or manager.
Training
Building occupants and staff should be trained on the location of emergency exits, how to use emergency lighting, and how to respond to power outages or emergency situations.
Ongoing Maintenance
Emergency lighting systems require regular maintenance to ensure they remain in good working order. This includes periodic testing, inspection, and servicing by qualified professionals.
It's crucial to hire a licensed and experienced emergency lighting installation specialist like EP Electrical to ensure that the system is correctly installed, functions properly, and meets all safety standards and regulations. Contact us for a quote for your emergency lighting installation.
