Emergency Lighting for Commercial Premises

Ensuring Safety and Compliance with Blue Electrics

Emergency lighting is a critical component in the safety infrastructure of any commercial premises. At Blue Electrics, we specialise in the installation and maintenance of comprehensive emergency lighting systems tailored to meet the unique needs of commercial environments. From offices and retail spaces to industrial facilities, our solutions ensure compliance with safety regulations and provide peace of mind in the event of an emergency.

Regulatory Requirements

In the UK, commercial premises are governed by stringent safety standards, including BS 5266 and The Fire Safety Order. These regulations mandate the provision of emergency lighting to ensure safe evacuation routes and maintain adequate lighting levels during power outages. Blue Electrics ensures that all installations meet these standards, providing you with a fully compliant and safe environment.

Types of Emergency Lighting Systems

1. Emergency Escape Lighting

Essential for guiding occupants to safety, this includes:
– Guidance lighting along escape routes
– High-risk task area lighting for critical zones

2. Standby Lighting

Maintains visibility in areas where the absence of light could pose a risk, ensuring a safe environment until power is restored.

3. Emergency Signage

Illuminated signs that clearly mark exits and hazards, making evacuation straightforward and safe.
