Why Emergency Lighting is Essential
In any commercial, industrial, or residential building, emergency lighting is a legal requirement under UK fire safety laws. When normal power fails due to a fire, electrical fault, or external outage, emergency lighting ensures safe movement by illuminating escape routes, stairways, hallways, and exits.
Without properly maintained emergency lighting, people could be left in darkness, increasing the risk of injuries, panic, and legal liabilities. Compliance with BS5266 ensures your system is designed, installed, and maintained to meet British safety standards.
