What Is Emergency Lighting?
Emergency lighting is a safety system that switches on when the main power fails. It helps people see clearly and find safe exits during fires or other emergencies.
The lights are placed along escape routes, near stairs, exits and key points so everyone can move safely. They often use their own power source, usually a battery, which keeps them running for a set time.
Emergency lighting is necessary in many buildings and helps protect your staff, visitors and families by guiding them out quickly and safely.
Emergency Lighting Services
Emergency lighting services from A.S.H Electrical Contractors Ltd cover every stage of safety lighting, from design to routine testing. We install the necessary fittings, check all your escape routes and complete full system commissioning.
Our team carries out monthly and annual inspections on lighting, and we provide repairs for all systems. We also offer upgrades, including LED options and simple self-test features for long-term safety and peace.
Emergency lighting design & lux level calculations
We design emergency lighting systems that give clear escape routes in all areas of a building. We calculate required lux levels for corridors, exits, stairwells and open spaces.
Our designs follow relevant standards, giving safe visibility during power loss and supporting compliance with building and fire regulations at all times.
Supply & Installation (Maintained/Non-Maintained)
We supply and install maintained and non-maintained emergency lights to suit each area of your premises.
Our engineers select suitable fittings, route cabling, label circuits and test each unit on completion. We work safely, tidy up after ourselves, and plan installations to minimise your downtime and disruption to your business.
Commissioning, Certification & Logbooks
After installation, we commission every emergency lighting system to confirm correct operation, duration and coverage. We then issue certificates for your records and insurance. We can also create or update site logbooks, recording locations, test dates, results and corrective actions, helping you prove ongoing compliance clearly and securely during inspections.
Monthly/annual inspection & testing
After remedial work is fully completed, a re-inspection confirms that previously identified issues are fully resolved. We retest affected circuits, visually check alterations and update coding on the original EICR as needed.
A fresh certificate or written confirmation is issued, showing the installation complies with regulations and is safe for ongoing use.
Fault finding, repairs & remedial works
When issues arise, our engineers carry out systematic fault-finding to locate causes quickly. We repair or replace damaged fittings, failed batteries, control gear and wiring.
We can also complete remedial works highlighted in inspection reports, bringing systems back to full working order safely and restoring compliance with current standards.
LED upgrades, self-test & DALI integrations
We upgrade older emergency lighting to energy-efficient LED fittings, reducing running costs and maintenance. We can add self-test features that perform automatic checks and show local status. For advanced sites, we design DALI emergency systems that provide central monitoring, fault alerts and detailed reports through building management platforms.
Periodic Testing & Maintenance
Periodic testing and maintenance keep your emergency lighting ready for real emergencies. Lots of checks include monthly function tests and yearly full duration tests to confirm that the lights run for the required time.
Our engineers inspect fittings, batteries, controls and signage, recording all results in your logbook. Any faults found are reported clearly, along with simple advice and a quote for repairs.
Frequent maintenance will support your legal compliance, reduce failures, extend equipment life and give plenty of confidence that escape routes will stay visible. Planned visits can be arranged to suit your normal working hours exactly.
