Emergency Lighting

In the event of a fire or sudden power failure, emergency lighting plays a vital role in helping occupants evacuate a building safely. Designed to operate automatically when the mains power goes out, these systems provide essential illumination—reducing panic, preventing injury, and guiding people to safety.

 

Whether you manage a commercial space, public premises or a residential property, emergency lighting is not just a legal requirement—it’s a life-saving necessity.

Keeping You Safe When It Matters Most

Emergency lighting systems are designed to provide clear, reliable illumination during emergency situations when your main power supply fails. From fire-related outages to unplanned power cuts, a sudden loss of light can cause confusion and pose real danger.

 

Properly installed and maintained emergency lighting allows for calm, safe evacuation, ensuring your building meets its legal obligations and duty of care.

Designed to British Standards, Installed by Experts

Most modern buildings are required to have emergency lighting installed as part of their original design. The equipment used and layout of these systems is usually determined by Building Regulations, local authority guidance, or the building’s designer.

 

At Recall Electrical & Fire Safety, we follow the British Standard BS 5266—a code of practice that outlines minimum requirements for emergency lighting in a wide range of premises, including:

  • Residential hotels & guesthouses

  • Care homes, hospitals & clinics

  • Schools, colleges & universities

  • Licensed venues & hospitality businesses

  • Offices, shops & multi-storey dwellings

  • Museums and public buildings

Our expert team ensures all installations meet (or exceed) these standards, delivering systems you can rely on when it counts.
