Emergency Lighting

Keep escape routes lit when the power drops with emergency lighting for commercial and communal spaces.

LED exit signs come with running-man and directional arrow legends. Self-test models and three-hour battery conversion kits keep checks and upkeep straightforward.

What emergency lighting does

Emergency lighting keeps escape routes and communal spaces lit when the mains supply fails, so people can find their way out and exit points stay visible in the dark. The range is built for commercial and shared buildings, where a sudden loss of power needs to be covered automatically. Fittings hold their own back-up power and switch over on their own, leaving the everyday lighting to behave as normal until it is needed.

What the range covers

The selection spans recessed and surface LED downlights, twin spot fittings, bulkheads, linear fittings and battens, alongside LED exit signs with directional arrow legends. Maintained and non-maintained options are both included: maintained units can run as ordinary lighting and stay lit if the power drops, while non-maintained units only come on during a mains failure. Conversion kits add an emergency function to compatible LED modules.

How to choose

Start with the space and how it is used. Downlights and surface fittings suit corridors and rooms with flat ceilings, bulkheads and twin spots work well on walls and in plant or service areas, and exit signs mark doors and changes of direction. Decide whether maintained or non-maintained behaviour fits the room, then match the finish to existing fittings, with white the most common choice alongside black and grey.

Where it is used

These fittings are aimed at offices, communal corridors, stairwells, industrial units and other commercial and shared settings. Exit signs are placed in line of sight along the route to a final exit, while downlights, battens and bulkheads cover the open areas and circulation space in between so the path stays usable.

Fitting and placement

Position exit signs where they can be seen from along the escape route and at points where the direction changes, and space the lit fittings so darker gaps are covered across the floor. Allow access for testing and for changing batteries over time, and keep fittings where their indicators are easy to read. Wiring and installation are tasks for a qualified electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained?
A maintained fitting stays lit in normal use and continues on battery during a power cut. A non-maintained fitting is off normally and only switches on when the mains fails. The range includes both, and several models cover either mode.

Which fittings count as exit signs here?
The exit signs are LED units in surface, recessed and hanging forms, supplied with running-man and arrow legends pointing up, down, left or right. Spare legend plates are also available to change the direction shown.

How long do the emergency lights stay on?
The battery conversion kits here are rated for three hours, including the LED packs that add backup to existing downlights. Runtime on the standalone fittings varies by model, so check the individual product details before ordering.

What is a self-test fitting?
Self-test models run their own periodic battery and lamp checks automatically, which cuts down on manual testing. Several downlights, bulkheads, twin spots and exit signs here offer this feature.

Can these be used in damp or outdoor areas?
Some can. Bulkheads, battens and twin spots rated IP65 suit wet and exterior settings, while IP20 downlights and exit signs are for dry indoor use. Fixed wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician.
