Emergency Lighting

We install, inspect, and test emergency lighting systems to ensure safe evacuation routes during power failures or fire incidents.

Enabling Safe Evacuation & Constant Compliance

When an emergency strikes or a sudden power outage occurs, clear visibility is the first line of defence for protecting lives. At Kayes Fire and Security, we provide comprehensive emergency lighting solutions designed to keep your people, property, and assets completely safe. Our expert engineers design, install, and maintain robust escape route lighting, open area (anti-panic) illumination, and high-risk task area systems tailored to the exact requirements of your building. Working strictly in line with British Standards (BS 5266-1), we ensure that your illumination levels are perfectly sufficient for all designated escape routes, exit signs, and safety equipment. We develop bespoke inspection and preventative maintenance schedules that include routine monthly function tests, full-duration annual discharge tests, and simulated power failures to guarantee that battery backups activate seamlessly when needed most. Beyond hardware, our systematic approach incorporates professional guidance on evacuation planning, helping business owners and managers reduce liability risks while improving general safety awareness among occupants. Following every inspection, we provide detailed reporting and certification, giving you documented proof of compliance for regulatory authorities, building control, and insurers.
