Emergency Lighting in Bargoed

Emergency lighting is a legal requirement for virtually all commercial premises in the UK. In the event of a mains power failure, emergency lighting activates automatically and illuminates escape routes, fire exits, and key safety signs — providing the visibility needed for occupants to evacuate a building safely. Our electricians design, install, and maintain emergency lighting systems for commercial premises across South Wales, ensuring full compliance with BS 5266-1 (the British Standard for emergency lighting) and the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

A correctly designed emergency lighting system identifies all escape routes, open areas, high-risk task areas, and final exit points and provides maintained or non-maintained luminaires with appropriate coverage at each location. We work from your premises' floor plans to produce a compliant lighting layout, specify the correct luminaires for each area, and install the system with minimal disruption to your business operations.

Regular testing is mandatory for all emergency lighting systems. Monthly flick tests, six-monthly partial duration tests, and annual full-duration tests must all be recorded in a log book. We offer maintenance contracts for commercial clients across South Wales, covering all required testing and providing the documentation you need for your fire risk assessment and insurance compliance. Self-test luminaires — which automatically carry out and record their own tests — are available and significantly reduce the administrative burden of compliance.

Whether you are fitting out a new commercial unit, upgrading an existing system that has failed an inspection, or managing a portfolio of commercial properties that need ongoing compliance support, our team has the experience and qualifications to help.
