Emergency lighting systems are intelligent lighting systems that remain illuminated even in the event of a mains power supply failure. In simple terms, this means that in the event of a fire, power outage or emergency, fire escapes and exit points will still remain clear and accessible, to provide easy exit points in the event of an emergency.
Vital for many businesses, industries, commercial and hospitality venues to offer a safe and effective exit strategy in the event of a fire or emergency. An essential component of any fire risk assessment, emergency lighting is utilised in hospitals, schools, retail shops and office buildings, helping to maintain the safety of your staff at all times and provide safe exit points in the event of an emergency.
In this helpful guide, we provide key reasons why you should consider emergency lighting installations from EK protection.

Safety
Arguably the most important advantage, (and key purpose), of emergency lighting installations is improving safety. Should there be a power outage in your commercial building, it’s important to protect your employees and those currently in the building, offering them a clear exit strategy in the event of an emergency. Emergency lighting offers lighting that runs 24/7 without the need for a mains power supply, helping to illuminate exit signs and provide everyone with a safe route to an exit.
Cost-Efficient
In the event of an unexpected power outage, be it at your office, work or shop floor, emergency lighting helps ensure all your employees are able to return to work in a safe and orderly manner whilst the mains power supply is restored. This means you can prevent unnecessary time spent waiting around for your power to be restored, maintaining your productivity during working hours and saving your business money.
Compliance
Emergency lighting installations are a legal requirement, ensuring you remain compliant with the current British standards for health and safety in the workplace. It’s vital you have effective, up-to-date and fully operational emergency lighting at your place of work to ensure your system remains safe, sufficient and compliant with current regulations.
