Safe Evacuation When Power Fails
Illuminate escape routes, exits, and high-risk areas so people can leave safely — designed, installed, and tested to BS 5266 with clear logbook records.
Light the Way Out
From a single office suite to multi-storey commercial estates, SAFECORE designs emergency lighting that marks the way out, stays lit when the mains fails, and stands up to inspection.

Choose the Right Setup
Every building needs a different mix of luminaires, exit signs, and power architecture. We specify systems that match occupancy, risk, and maintenance capacity.
Each luminaire has its own battery and charger — ideal for most offices, shops, and small-to-medium premises that need reliable cover with straightforward servicing.
Centralised power for larger estates and complex sites, with coordinated testing and fewer batteries distributed around the building.
Self-testing and addressable solutions that report faults automatically — reducing manual test burden for busy facilities teams.
End-to-End Service
SAFECORE manages the full emergency lighting lifecycle so luminaires are correctly placed, commissioned for the right duration, and easy to prove during inspections.
We map escape routes, open areas, stairs, plant rooms, and change-of-direction points — then specify lux levels, positions, and duration to BS 5266 principles.
Luminaires, exit signs, converters, and central systems installed neatly by experienced engineers with minimal disruption to your building.
Full functional checks and duration testing so batteries and central plant perform for the required period when mains power is lost.
Clear location schedules, test procedures, and staff guidance so facilities teams know how to run monthly function tests correctly.
Monthly function tests, annual full-duration tests, and battery/luminaire replacement programmes that keep systems inspection-ready.
Coordinate emergency lighting with fire alarms, extinguishers, and AOV smoke ventilation so evacuation support works as one system.
Where Light Matters Most
Emergency lighting is not just corridor bulkheads. We design for the full evacuation journey — from first step out of a room to the final exit and assembly point approach.
Corridors, stairs, and landings illuminated so people can move safely without relying on daylight or normal lighting.
Clear exit legends and change-of-direction signs that remain visible when mains power fails.
Anti-panic lighting for larger rooms and halls so crowds can orient themselves and find the way out.
Higher illuminance where shutdown of plant, machinery, or processes must continue briefly and safely.
Outside lighting to final exits and external routes where darkness would otherwise trap people near the building.
Plant rooms, switch rooms, and fire panel locations lit so responders and facilities staff can act quickly.
Tested. Logged. Proven.
Installation is only half the job. Monthly function tests, annual full-duration tests, and tidy logbooks prove the system still works when it is needed most.

Why Emergency Lighting Matters
When mains lighting fails — through fire, fault, or blackout — people need enough light to find exits, avoid hazards, and leave without panic.
UK fire safety law requires suitable emergency routes and exits to be usable at all relevant times. Emergency lighting is a practical part of that duty — especially in buildings occupied after dark or with limited natural light.
We help landlords, facilities managers, and business owners meet those expectations with BS 5266-aligned design, professional installation, and testing regimes that produce evidence for insurers and inspectors.
Help demonstrate suitable escape arrangements under fire safety duties.
Reduce slips, confusion, and congestion when normal lights fail.
Logbooks, test records, and schedules that stand up to inspection.
Safer shutdown of plant and orderly exit for staff and visitors.
Where We Work
Whether you need a small self-contained upgrade or a full multi-building programme, we design around how people actually evacuate your site.
Corridors, stairs, open-plan floors, and exit signage for multi-tenant and corporate buildings.
Shop floors, restaurants, hotels, and back-of-house routes with clear exit guidance for the public.
Large open areas, plant rooms, and external escape paths designed for real working layouts.
Schools and campuses with robust coverage for halls, corridors, and multi-building sites.
Sensitive environments where reliable egress lighting supports staff and vulnerable occupants.
Communal corridors, stair cores, and final exits for landlords and managing agents.
Batteries age, lamps fail, and signs get obscured. Our testing and maintenance programmes catch faults early, replace tired batteries, and leave logbooks inspectors can trust.

Installers who design for real escape routes and occupancy.

Lighting coordinated with alarms, AOVs & extinguishers.
Common Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most often from facilities managers, landlords, and business owners.
BS 5266 is the British Standard for emergency lighting. It provides the accepted design, installation, and testing guidance used across the UK. Following it helps demonstrate that your system is suitable for safe evacuation and inspection.
Maintained luminaires are lit whenever the building is occupied (common for exit signs). Non-maintained luminaires only switch on when the mains supply fails. We specify the right mode for each location.
Typically a short monthly function test plus an annual full-duration test matching the system rating (often 3 hours). Results should be recorded in a logbook. We can perform tests for you or train your team.
Self-contained suits most small and medium buildings with simple maintenance. Central battery can be better for large multi-floor sites where coordinated power and monitoring matter. We recommend after a free survey.
Yes. We can replace failed batteries and luminaires, add coverage to dark spots, upgrade to LED self-test units, or redesign systems that no longer match how the building is used.
Yes. We design, install, and maintain emergency lighting across Sussex and further afield across the UK. Contact us with your postcode for availability and lead times.
