The main reason for installing an emergency lighting system is to enable the building to meet fire safety legislation in a way that is visually acceptable and meets the user’s needs for ease of operation and maintenance. Consequently it is important to establish all the relevant legal requirements for emergency lighting and fire alarm systems before commencing the design these should ideally be agreed between the system designer, user, fire authority, building control officer and system installer.

TLC can carry out emergency lighting design and specification to BS 5266, BS EN 13032-3 and Irish Standards on emergency lighting (IS 3217:2013).
