Why Emergency Lighting is Critical for Your Building

You assume it’s always there in the background, but what if when you need it, it lets you down?

Facilities managers and property owners are legally and ethically responsible for the safety of all occupants. Emergency lighting is not just a regulatory checkbox – it is a life-saving system.

• 85% of emergency situations occur without warning, often when standard lighting fails due to power outages, natural disasters, or fire.
• Inadequate emergency lighting can lead to panic, disorientation, and injury, particularly in large or complex buildings.
• According to UK fire statistics, in 2019/2020, 33% of fire-related fatalities were linked to individuals being unable to evacuate buildings safely.
