Emergency Lighting Electrician
Emergency lighting is not exactly the first thing that comes to mind in ensuring your business or strata building is safe, yet it is vitally important. Picture yourself at your desk in your unit or office and all the power has gone out completely. For the people inside your premises, they are at risk unless they can see the emergency exit signs or emergency lights to help them evacuate safely. Installing emergency lighting is a critical aspect of workplace safety. It allows strata residents, staff and clients, navigate a safe path to exit points during emergencies.
Businesses and strata managers need to find electrical contractors that have a comprehensive understanding of emergency lighting regulations. Every step of installing emergency lighting needs to comply with occupational health and safety regulations. If emergency lighting is not correctly installed it will not be able to function as intended. Fix Electrical have the experience to install your emergency lighting to comply with regulations.
Emergency Lighting Repairs
All emergency and exit lighting are required to undergo a 90-minute test of the backup battery every 6 months as stated under the Australian Standard AS/NZS2293 Part 2 1995. If you do not test, inspect and maintain your emergency lighting according to these regulations there are significant penalties. It is the responsibility of the strata manager or business owner to be aware of the inspection and electrical maintenance schedules and ensure compliance.
It is not uncommon to see backup batteries fail due to becoming discharged. Backup batteries may not hold sufficient charge or do not receive a full charge from the power converter. With any emergency lighting failure, it is important to ensure tests are carried out to ensure it is the battery causing problems and not some other electrical fault. Fix Electrical Contractors have the experienced team to undertake emergency lighting testing for your business or strata.

With the cost of electricity continuing to rise, electricity prices can have a significant impact on the running costs of Strata buildings and businesses. Lighting is one of the major contributors to these outgoing costs. Fortunately, lighting in strata buildings and businesses are also one of the quickest areas that money can be saved.

The cost of servicing, testing and replacing failed emergency lighting is significantly reduced after upgrading to LED lighting.
