Do you have emergency lighting in your small domestic property? You might not think it is needed, and legally, you are correct. However, it can be hugely important in case of an emergency. Emergency lighting in the home can help your family escape from the home quickly and safely. This emergency lighting could save the lives of you and your family.
When thinking about emergency lighting in your small domestic property, you can be quite creative. This is because there are currently no legal requirements or legislation for emergency lighting in domestic properties. You can plan out your emergency lighting by thinking about what you want to achieve from it. The sufficient emergency lighting can then be installed in your small domestic property to meet these needs and goals.
When installing emergency lighting to indicate a safe exit, the lighting needs to be bright. There is no point in having a light that is so low or dim it can’t be seen across the room. Remember, emergency lighting is there in case of an emergency. It will come on when the electricity in your home fails. This means that you need enough light to illuminate an area, room or exit or escape route.
It is important to note that emergency lighting will not be as bright as the standard or traditional lighting in your home. This is because emergency lighting in small domestic properties is designed to run as long as possible, on stored power. The less bright the lighting, the less of the stored power is used.
When installing emergency lighting in your small domestic property, it is important that you bring in the experts. Emergency lighting is different to the standard lighting in your home. It needs to be able to illuminate a space, not just a room. This means that it needs to be placed in different places to where you might install your traditional lighting in your home.
There are no set places that we can tell you where to install emergency lighting in your home. This is because all homes and emergency lighting needs are different. You just need to think about the spaces in your home where lighting would be required if there was an electrical outage. It doesn’t need to replace regular lighting. Instead, it needs to give you enough light to see a way out of your home in case of an emergency.
