Littlehampton emergency lighting you can count on

Based right here in Littlehampton, we help local business owners and landlords make sure their buildings stay safely lit even if the mains fail.

Our job is to take the stress of fire safety compliance off your shoulders with straightforward, expert advice and reliable installation.
Why Choose Us?
Meeting legal standards without the jargon
Dealing with fire safety rules can feel like a minefield. You might have heard of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 or the BS 5266-1 standards. Essentially, these laws mean that if you're responsible for a commercial property or a block of flats, you have a legal duty of care to provide safe escape routes. Whether you’re running a café in Rustington or managing a warehouse in Worthing, we’ll make sure your emergency lighting meets every legal requirement. We don't just fit a few lights and leave; we ensure your system is designed specifically for your layout, covering everything from 'Anti-Panic' open areas to high-risk task zones where dangerous machinery might need to be shut down safely.

Who We Are
Finding the right lights for your premises
Not all emergency lights work the same way. You’ve likely noticed those exit signs that stay lit all day—those are called 'Maintained' lights. They’re perfect for cinemas or shops where people might not know the layout well. On the other hand, 'Non-Maintained' lights only kick in when the power fails, making them a popular, cost-effective choice for offices. We’ll walk through your building with you and figure out exactly what’s needed for your specific space. From sturdy LED bulkheads in stairwells to sleek, discreet units for modern offices, we have the kit to suit your style and your safety needs.

01903 802131Areas We Provide Emergency Lighting Installation in Littlehampton Services
Our expert Emergency Lighting Installation in Littlehampton services are available across West Sussex. Fast response times guaranteed.
Routine testing without the headache
It’s one thing to have the lights installed, but will they actually work when it matters most? Batteries degrade over time, which is why a 'Full Discharge Test' is so important. Once a year, we carry out a 3-hour test to drain the batteries completely and ensure they can hold a charge for the duration required by law. Most business owners we speak to worry about the disruption, but we’re used to working around busy schedules. We can pop in at a time that suits you, ensuring your logbook is up to date, your insurance remains valid, and your peace of mind is intact.

01903 802131Cutting costs with energy-efficient LEDs
If you’re still using old fluorescent tubes in your emergency fittings, you’re likely paying more than you need to on your energy bills. Modern LED emergency lighting is a total game-changer. These 'fit and forget' systems use a fraction of the power and last significantly longer, meaning fewer call-outs for bulb changes and lower maintenance costs. We’ve helped dozens of businesses across the Arun district switch to LEDs, and the feedback is always the same: they’re brighter, more reliable, and much cheaper to run. It's a small investment that pays for itself quickly while keeping your building greener.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Emergency Lighting Installation in Littlehampton Questions
Answers to common questions about our Emergency Lighting Installation in Littlehampton
How often do I need to test my emergency lighting?
To stay on the right side of the law, you should carry out a short functional test every month. This is just a quick check to see if the lights turn on when the power is cut. Once a year, you need a full three-hour test to see if the batteries can last the required duration. Many Littlehampton businesses ask us to handle the annual check to keep their records accurate and professional.
What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained emergency lights?
Maintained lights stay on all the time, just like your normal office lights, but stay lit when the power goes. Non-maintained lights only turn on if the main power fails. We usually suggest maintained lights for areas like cinemas or shops where people might be unfamiliar with the layout, while non-maintained units are often fine for standard offices.
Does my small shop in Littlehampton really need emergency illumination?
In almost every case, yes. If you have employees or members of the public entering your building, you have a duty to provide a safe escape route. Even a small shop can become dangerous in total darkness. We can look at your specific space and let you know exactly what you need to meet commercial electrical safety standards.
What happens if my emergency light fails a test?
If a light doesn't stay on for the full duration or the bulb has gone, it needs a repair or replacement straight away. We carry a range of common parts and can often fix the issue during the same visit. Keeping your system in top shape is the best way to avoid a "fail" on your fire risk assessment.
Can you upgrade my old emergency lights to LEDs?
Definitely. Swapping old fluorescent tubes for LED emergency lighting is a smart move. They use much less power, the batteries tend to last longer, and they require far less maintenance over time. It’s a great way to lower your running costs while keeping your building safe.
