Emergency lighting is necessary in unforeseen situation when the mains power supply is cut and normal illumination fails, leading to sudden darkness and a possible danger to staff and customers. The purpose of emergency lighting is to facilitate work continuity or, in a worst-case scenario, safe evacuation of staff and/or public

If emergency light fixtures are not tested and maintained, they may perform poorly in an emergency. Weak batteries will reduce the operating time and result in abnormally dim illumination during use. Similarly, old lamps can lead to insufficient light.

Phoenix Fire Protection can install and maintain emergency lighting systems conforming to the recommendations in BS 5266.
