Emergency lighting for Businesses

Professional emergency lighting through specialised partners


In the event of a fire, power failure or other emergency, a safe and swift evacuation is essential. When normal lighting fails, emergency lighting ensures that employees, visitors and emergency services can move safely and that escape routes remain clearly visible.

Although Firesafe Solutions specialises in fire detection, aerosol extinguishing, CCTV, access control and intrusion detection, we can also support our clients with professional emergency lighting solutions thanks to a network of specialised partners.

This way, you have one point of contact for your entire fire safety project.

Why is emergency lighting important?

During an emergency, a lack of lighting can lead to confusion, panic and dangerous situations.

A properly designed emergency lighting system helps to:

  • Keep escape routes visible
  • Facilitate safe evacuations
  • Limit panic
  • Make obstacles visible
  • Support emergency services
  • Legal obligations to comply with
  • To enhance the safety of employees and visitors

Emergency lighting is therefore an essential part of a modern fire safety strategy.

What is emergency lighting?

Emergency lighting is lighting that is automatically activated when the normal power supply fails.

Through our specialised partners, we can provide support for various types of emergency lighting, including:

  • Escape route lighting
  • Safety lighting
  • Anti-panic lighting
  • Illuminated signs
  • Evacuation lighting

Depending on the building and the application, the most suitable solution is chosen.

Escape route lighting ensures that evacuation routes remain clearly visible during an emergency.

This lighting is applied to:

  • Escape routes
  • Corridors
  • Stairwells

This allows those present to safely exit the building.

In large spaces, it can be difficult to orient oneself when the normal lighting fails.

Anti-panic lighting ensures that:

This solution is often applied in:

  • Production halls
