Emergency Lighting Systems Kent

Emergency lighting is a legal requirement for most commercial and public buildings. DCC Electrics designs, installs and certifies emergency lighting systems that comply with BS 5266 across Kent, London and the South East.

We handle everything from small office emergency exit signs to large-scale central battery systems for multi-storey commercial buildings.

The purpose of emergency lighting is simple but critical: when normal lighting fails due to a power cut or fire, emergency lighting must activate automatically to illuminate escape routes, fire exits, and open areas so that occupants can evacuate safely. BS 5266 sets out the design, installation, and testing requirements that ensure emergency lighting systems perform when lives depend on them.

We design emergency lighting systems based on your building layout, occupancy levels, and risk profile. Escape route lighting guides people along corridors and stairways. Open area anti-panic lighting prevents crowding and panic in large spaces. High-risk task lighting ensures that dangerous processes can be shut down safely before evacuation.

Our installations use both self-contained luminaires with built-in batteries and central battery systems that power multiple fittings from a single backup source. We select the most appropriate technology for your building size, maintenance capabilities, and budget. Every installation is fully tested, certified, and handed over with a complete logbook and maintenance schedule.
