Keep people safe when the power fails
Emergency luminaires and perimeter security lights keep walkways illuminated and properties protected when mains electricity is cut or after dark.
- Commercial escape lightingOffices, shops and communal rental properties require illuminated signs and bulkheads that operate when the mains power cuts out. We install self-contained units that switch to battery power immediately, allowing occupants across Swadlincote and Burton upon Trent to exit safely.
- Outdoor security illuminationPIR motion sensor floodlights and dusk to dawn perimeter luminaires illuminate dark corners, yard spaces and driveways. We fit weather-sealed fittings that trigger consistently to deter trespassers and help employees and visitors move around safely at night.
What happens on the day
Here is what to expect before and during our visit to your property.
- Preparing the workspacePlease ensure clear access to all exit pathways, existing light fittings, and your consumer unit or fuse board. Any gates or outdoor areas receiving security lights should also be unlocked and unobstructed before arrival.
- Fitting and testing on siteWe isolate relevant circuits safely, mount fittings securely, and connect the wiring. For emergency systems, we carry out test switch operations to check that lamps ignite instantly on battery reserve and charge correctly when restored.

WhatsAppHow often should commercial emergency lighting be tested?
Under UK standards, emergency lighting should have a brief functional flick test every month to check lamps illuminate from the battery. A full rated duration test, usually three hours, must be carried out annually. We help businesses across Derby, Swadlincote and Burton upon Trent stay compliant by conducting these annual tests and logging the results.
What happens if a battery in an emergency light fails?
If an emergency luminaire fails to hold charge for the required period during testing, the internal battery pack or the whole fitting must be replaced. We identify failing units during the test and provide an honest cost to swap them for modern, low-energy LED units.
Where should exterior security lights be positioned?
Security lights are most effective when mounted above head height covering vulnerable entry points such as back doors, side alleys, and dark driveway sections. Motion sensors should be positioned to avoid triggering on passing public footpath traffic.
Can emergency lights also function as standard everyday lighting?
Yes. Maintained emergency fittings operate as standard lights during everyday use and remain lit when mains power fails. Non-maintained fittings stay unlit until a mains power failure occurs, which is common in stairwells and dedicated fire exits.
