Emergency Lighting

In a fire situation it takes less than thirty seconds for conventional ceiling lighting and escape route signage to be rendered totally ineffective.

Hot smoke rises rapidly forming a hot layer from the ceiling downwards, naturally, our reaction forces us close to the floor where the air is cooler and the smoke less toxic and dense.

Inevitably building occupants, in often unfamiliar surroundings, are faced with reduced visibility and poor directional guidance, frequently leading to panic and disorientation.

As a result, people have been known to die tragically only a few metres from exits which could have led them to safety.

Independent research has proven low mounted emergency lighting systems continue to provide a highly visible line of light at, or close to floor level, long after other lighting systems have been completely obscured by smoke.

Low mounted emergency lighting systems clearly identify the escape path and illuminate the escape route, thus improving evacuation times, reducing panic and .ultimately saving lives.

Due to Health and Safety legislation, all buildings in the commercial sector require an emergency escape lighting installation which complies with the relevant standards.

Low mounted emergency lighting systems can exceed these requirements, providing long term safety benefits for the protection of the building occupants and the commercial reputation of building owners.

These systems are effective in both smoke logged and clear air conditions and can be of major life saving importance in the event of any emergency situation, particularly when smoke may be present.
