EMERGENCY LIGHTING

What is Emergency Lighting?

Emergency lighting is an important part of fire safety, and having adequate arrangements makes up part of the Fire Safety Order. In case of an emergency, such as fire or a power outage, emergency lighting is there to help those in the building to evacuate safely, and also to minimise panic that can occur from being in the dark in such situations.

Emergency Lighting Regulations

According to UK emergency lighting regulations outlined by the British Standard, building owners should have:

  • Emergency lighting for exit signs
  • Emergency lighting in stairwells
  • Emergency lighting in open spaces 

The intensity of emergency lighting is measured by lux. Each area will require a different amount, which can be determined by a risk assessment carried out by a professional.

These standards are to be treated as minimum requirements, as certain buildings may require higher standards of equipment.
