Emergency Lighting
EMERGENCY LIGHTING SERVICES
GDM Electrical are specialist in providing, maintaining & testing all aspects of Emergency Evacuation Lighting. Emergency Lighting is a system of luminaires automatically activating when the power supply to the normal lighting fails. Emergency lighting is a fundamental element of public and commercial building safety and it must provide illumination of a sufficiently high level to enable all occupants to evacuate the premises safely.
Australian standards for Emergency Lighting state Unlike ordinary light fixtures, exit signage and emergency lighting have an internal battery allowing illumination even when main power is out. Under the Australian Standards AS2293 exit signage and emergency lighting must stay illuminated for a minimum of 90 minutes.
