Emergency Lighting
At Lux Fire & safety, we understand that the safety of your staff and guests are a priority in the event of a power failure, leaving your premises in darkness. There is a general misunderstanding that Emergency Lighting is only to do with Fire, this is misconception. Emergency Lighting is provided to give an adequate level of lighting in the event of a power failure, which can happen at anytime, to keep everyone safe and protect from any unnecessary accidents due to darkness. There are different levels of light requirenment in different areas in the event of a power failure, for example: commercial kitchens require a higher level of lighting due to the hazards involved if the power fails.
We can take your project from Design Stage, right through Installation & Commissioning, We can also service your existing Emergency Lighting.
Emergency Lighting
Self Contained Systems
This is the most common for small to medium businesses. The back up battery is contained within or beside the emergency light fitting. This category can also be divided into 2 sub categories, Manual test systems where the lighting ha sto be turned on manually to be tested. Automatic test systems, where the light fitting performs its own pre-determined tests. Both systems require servicing and testing but to different levels.
Central Battery Systems
As the name suggests, there is a single battery which is located in a separate part of the building, which supplies power to all emergency fittings in the event of a power failure. This is more common in larger buildings.
