4 Benefits of Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting is a crucial aspect of building safety, but it is often overlooked or taken for granted. It is only when there is a power outage or other emergency that people realise how important it is to have a reliable source of backup lighting. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of emergency lighting and why it is essential to have it installed in any building.

1) Increased Safety

One of the most significant benefits of emergency lighting is increased safety. In the event of a power outage, emergency lighting can help guide people to safety by illuminating exit routes and stairwells. This is especially important in large buildings with multiple floors, where navigating in the dark can be dangerous and disorienting. Emergency lighting can also help emergency responders quickly locate and assist anyone who may be in need. It can save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce property damage.

2) Compliance with Regulations

Another benefit of emergency lighting is compliance with regulations. Many local and national building codes require that buildings have emergency lighting installed. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines and legal liability in the event of an emergency. By installing emergency lighting, building owners can ensure that they are in compliance with these regulations and avoid potential legal issues. They can also demonstrate their commitment to safety and responsibility to their stakeholders.

3) Peace of Mind

Finally, emergency lighting can provide peace of mind for building occupants and owners. Knowing that there is a reliable source of backup lighting in case of an emergency can help alleviate anxiety and fear. It can also help building owners and managers feel confident that they are doing everything they can to ensure the safety of their occupants. This is especially important in high-risk environments such as hospitals, schools, and public buildings. Emergency lighting can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of a building and improve its market value.

4) Cost-Effective

Emergency lighting is also cost-effective in the long run. While the initial installation cost may seem high, it can save money in the event of an emergency. Emergency lighting can reduce the risk of property damage, business interruption, and litigation costs. It can also help businesses and organisations maintain their operations during a power outage and avoid revenue loss. In addition, emergency lighting can be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, reducing the carbon footprint and operating costs of a building.

TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you for the prompt service coming out to repair our gates, they are now working better than ever! Fantastic service".

"I am incredibly impressed with the quality of service that Matrix Fire & Security has consistently delivered. I am already looking to expand the opportunities to work with them on projects in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."

"A classic case of 'you get what you pay for'. Having met over six firms to quote for my new gates, and been disappointed in some way by all (late, overly expensive, lack of solutions/ ideas, conflicting safety information, even not bothering to send a quote at all, etc.), I finally found MF&S; also recommended by a friend. From the first call to the final sign-off, they have been nothing short of first-class. The focus on customer satisfaction is superb (how it should be I'd argue, but so often lacking these days). The installers were without exception friendly and knowledgeable and nothing could have been too much for them. Whenever I had a question or issue, "You're the customer, we'll do it however you want" was the answer more often than not, it's in their DNA. The price won't be the cheapest, but I feel confident the job WILL be the best (and safest, don't forget that with electric gates) - You take your choice! Thanks again to all the MF&S team!"

"Just a letter of thanks for the job you did on our gates, we stop and admire them every time we come home, amazing quality and the automation works perfectly. I look forward to seeing you next year for our first service. Thank you again."

"Due of the size and nature of the buildings I manage I contacted Matrix Fire & security whom were able to offer me a one-stop-shop solution, Matrix were able to offer maintenance agreements covering all disciplines eliminating the need to outsource to various different companies. I was also very impressed with the amount of onsite training and the level of support that was provided. Highly recommend."
