Emergency lighting plays a vital role in keeping buildings safe during a power failure. At DRW, we install, test and maintain fully compliant emergency lighting systems for commercial, industrial and residential properties. Our goal is simple. To make sure your escape routes stay clearly illuminated, even in complete darkness, so people can evacuate safely and confidently.
We support clients across Carlisle, Cumbria, the south of Scotland, the Central Belt and the north of England, and we are known for our quick response and reliable service.
Every project begins with a detailed assessment of your building. Our team reviews escape routes, high-risk zones, staircases, plant rooms and any areas that require specific illumination.
This step ensures you receive the right combination of emergency lighting and safety signage, designed to meet legal requirements and offer clear guidance during an evacuation.
The design process is fully aligned with the client's notes:
- We identify escape routes and critical locations.
- We specify the correct lighting levels and signage.
- We create a tailored lighting plan that supports safe evacuation.
These always remain on and switch automatically to battery power during a power cut. Ideal for high footfall areas and commercial environments where lighting clarity is essential.
These remain off during normal operation and activate only during a loss of power. A cost-effective option for many escape routes and lower-use spaces.
All lights are fitted with a reliable independent battery backup. In the event of a power failure, the system activates instantly, keeping escape routes and safety signage fully visible.
Emergency lighting systems must be tested and maintained regularly to stay compliant and reliable. DRW provides:
- Routine inspections
- Monthly and annual functional tests
- Battery condition checks
- Luminaire performance checks
- Rapid repairs and replacements
Our maintenance programmes are designed to reduce risk, prevent system faults and ensure you’re building always meets current legal standards. If something fails, we respond quickly to restore full functionality.
This section directly covers the client's bullet points around testing, servicing and repairs.
