Service overview

Emergency lighting helps support safe escape where normal lighting fails. VLV Electrical Ltd can review suitable emergency lighting enquiries for commercial premises, managed buildings and communal areas, with scope depending on the premises, access, existing installation and applicable requirements.

Technical and compliance considerations

  • BS 5266 may be relevant depending on the premises and agreed scope.
  • Emergency lighting should be considered around escape routes, occupancy, building use and risk assessment requirements.
  • Commercial and duty-holder situations may involve Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 considerations.
  • Design responsibility for larger systems should not be assumed unless specifically agreed.
  • Final documentation depends on the work completed and client requirements.

Commercial and communal area focus

Emergency lighting may be relevant to escape routes, final exits, stairs, communal corridors, toilets and plant or utility areas depending on the building and agreed scope.

Installation, repairs and testing support

VLV can review emergency lighting installation, repair and testing support enquiries, including key switches or test facilities and 3-hour duration testing where required.
