Emergency lighting ensures that people can safely exit your building in an emergency. With branches in Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton and Wellington and throughout the North and South Islands, we can take care of your emergency lighting and exit lighting requirements.
Emergency lights and emergency exit lighting are installed in your building to light escape routes in the event of a power cut or mains failure. Emergency lights automatically turn on during mains failure and using battery backup they light egress routes.
Emergency lighting is required to operate fully automatically and give illumination to enable people to evacuate the premises safely – not in complete darkness!
It is a requirement for most buildings that are compliant to the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) to have lighting and signage on all escape routes in an emergency.
Emergency lighting and emergency exit lighting are listed on your building compliance schedule as:
SS4 Emergency lighting systems
SS14/2 Signs for systems
SS15/4 Signs for communicating information intended to facilitate evacuation
Fire Security Services has your emergency lighting and exit lighting sorted
Fire Security Services will take care of all your emergency and exit lighting requirements. From routine compliance inspections and service works, right through to system design and installations – Fire Security have the skills you need to get your job done.

Emergency lighting and exit lighting building compliance
Monthly routine inspections for central battery systems.
Six monthly routine inspections for single point battery backup systems.
Annual routine inspections for central battery and single point battery systems.
Monthly and annual inspections for all signs related to specified systems.
Tip:
Did you know that if your system has been upgraded to a single point system where each emergency light has its own backup battery, you are only required to complete 6 monthly inspections of the lights? If your routine inspection frequency is still monthly, it is very likely your compliance company has not updated your compliance schedule to reflect the upgrade. Fire Security Services can update your compliance schedule with a Form 11 issued to your local territorial authority/council and decrease your routine inspection frequency – saving you time and money!
