Reliable emergency lighting to protect your home or business during power outages
Why Emergency Lighting Matters for Your Property
When the power goes out unexpectedly, a reliable emergency lighting system can make all the difference. Whether you own a home, office, or small business in Oldbury, Tividale, or the surrounding West Midlands area, emergency lighting helps keep people safe by clearly illuminating escape routes and exits during power cuts or emergency situations.
Emergency lighting reduces panic, prevents accidents, and ensures occupants can exit the building safely when normal lighting fails.
What Does Emergency Lighting Installation Involve?
Installing emergency lighting involves far more than simply fitting lights. Proper design, positioning, and compliance with safety standards are essential to ensure the system operates correctly when it is needed most.
At Allen’s Ohms, we manage the entire installation process. This includes fitting ceiling-mounted emergency lights and illuminated exit signs, as well as routing all cabling neatly through protective trunking or conduit. A tidy installation not only looks professional but also protects wiring from damage and ensures long-term reliability.
Key Components of an Emergency Lighting System
Ceiling-Mounted Emergency Lights
These provide bright, dependable illumination during power failures. They are often designed to withstand dust and moisture, making them suitable for a wide range of environments.
Illuminated Exit Signs
Positioned above doors and along corridors, exit signs use clear green lighting to mark escape routes and guide occupants safely out of the building.
Protected Wiring
All wiring is securely housed in trunking or conduit, keeping installations neat, safe, and fully compliant with electrical regulations.
