Real SCM Emergency Lighting Work
Practical Emergency Lighting For Commercial Premises
Emergency lighting is designed to provide illumination when normal lighting fails, helping occupants identify escape routes, exits and other important areas of a building.
SCM Fire & Safety supports commercial clients throughout Leicester with emergency lighting installation, maintenance, testing, fault finding and remedial works.
- Commercial offices and workplaces
- Warehouses and industrial premises
- Hotels and hospitality buildings
- Retail and managed premises
- Communal and multi-occupancy areas where appropriate
Emergency Lighting For Safe Escape
Emergency lighting should be appropriate for the building, its use, occupants, escape strategy and wider fire-safety arrangements.
BS 5266-1:2025 provides guidance for emergency lighting in premises and helps inform the design, installation, testing and maintenance of suitable emergency lighting systems.
SCM can inspect existing emergency lighting installations, identify obvious defects and provide proposals for suitable remedial or improvement works.
For wider information about workplace fire-safety responsibilities, see the UK Government workplace fire-safety guidance .
Typical Areas Requiring Consideration
- Escape routes and circulation areas
- Stairways and changes of level
- Final exits and exit routes
- Fire alarm call-point locations
- Firefighting equipment locations
- Open areas where emergency lighting is required
- Other areas identified through assessment and design
Testing, Reporting & Remedial Support
Routine checks and periodic testing help identify failed batteries, damaged fittings, charging faults and other issues before the emergency lighting system is required during an emergency.
Suitable functional testing can confirm that emergency fittings operate when the normal lighting supply is interrupted.
Periodic full-duration testing helps establish whether emergency fittings and batteries continue operating for their required duration.
Failed or unsuitable equipment can be recorded clearly, with recommendations provided for appropriate remedial works.
Failed Emergency Lights? SCM Can Investigate
Emergency lighting defects can include failed batteries, damaged fittings, charging issues, incorrect signage, unsuitable coverage or units that no longer operate correctly.
