Emergency lighting

Emergency lighting is a critical part of any building’s safety system. It’s designed to provide clear visual guidance in the event of a power outage, fire, or evacuation, helping people find a safe way out when it matters most.

Today’s emergency lighting systems are a step up from the basic units of the past. Many now include features like automated self-testing, remote reporting, and integration with building-wide control systems. Whether you need a simple setup or a more advanced solution, the system should be built around your space, its use, and compliance requirements.

We install and maintain emergency lighting that meets:

• The NZ Building Code
• AS/NZS 2293.1:2018
• Relevant health and safety obligations

Our work covers new builds, upgrades, and regular maintenance. If you’re not sure what’s in place or what needs checking, we can assess your current setup and advise on the next steps. And if other electrical work is needed while we’re there, we’re happy to sort that out too.

What makes emergency lighting different?

There are two key things that set it apart from standard lighting:

• It must continue to operate for at least two hours without mains power – usually with
  battery backup.
• It’s designed specifically for safety and evacuation, so placement and compliance are
  essential.

Emergency lighting isn’t just about EXIT signs. It can include stairwell lights, low-level guidance lighting, and area floodlights, all working together to ensure safe movement through a building during an emergency.
