The Importance of Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting refers to the backup lighting systems that activate automatically when normal lighting fails – usually during a power outage. It’s essential for helping people find exits and navigate through corridors, stairwells, or large spaces in the event of an emergency such as a fire, power failure, or evacuation.
Whether it’s a workplace, apartment block, school, or retail unit in Blackburn, emergency lights are a critical part of a building’s life safety system. UK fire safety legislation requires emergency lighting systems to be tested regularly and kept in working order.
Our Emergency Lighting Services in Blackburn
At Standish Energy, we provide a full package of emergency lighting services tailored to your building’s specific requirements. Our experienced team handles:
Installation: We design and install emergency light systems for a wide range of properties. We use long-lasting, low-maintenance LED emergency lighting options that comply with all current safety regulations.
Testing & Certification: We carry out full drain-down duration testing, which means the system is tested to ensure it operates on backup power for the full required time. After testing, you’ll receive a detailed digital report listing every emergency light, its status, and any defects or required repairs. This documentation supports your compliance with BS 5266 and provides peace of mind in case of fire inspections or insurance audits.
Repairs & Maintenance: Our electricians carry out fault finding and replacements for non-functioning emergency lights, including upgrading to LED emergency lights where appropriate. We can also bundle this work with your regular fire alarm testing to minimise disruption.
