About Escape Route Lighting

Escape route lighting keeps corridors, stairs and designated paths usable during evacuation when mains lighting is lost. iComply design and deliver BS 5266 escape route lighting across Greater Manchester and the North West, balancing lux levels, glare control and robust fittings. From Stockport we help commercial and residential blocks close FRA actions that cite dark stairwells or uneven coverage.

Escape routes need consistent light at floor level, on steps and near fire doors—not a single bulkhead at the far end of a corridor. We survey routes, measure practical performance and specify LED emergency luminaires with the correct maintained or non-maintained mode. Multi-storey stairs often need careful spacing to avoid dark landings. After install we commission and set a testing regime so batteries remain capable of full duration. For occupied buildings we work floor by floor, maintaining safe egress throughout the programme and coordinating with fire wardens where required.

  • ●Design for corridors, stairs and changes of level
  • ●LED emergency luminaires spaced for usable floor illumination
  • ●Integration with exit signs and open area lighting
  • ●Testing regimes that keep route lighting reliable

Escape Route Lighting FAQ

Is escape route lighting different from open area lighting?+

Yes. Escape routes follow defined path requirements; open areas cover larger spaces where people may need to reach a route. Many buildings need both.

Our stairwell looks bright enough by day—do we still need emergency lights?+

Daylight does not replace emergency lighting for night-time or internal routes without borrowed light. We assess actual conditions against BS 5266.

Can you improve escape route lighting without full rewire?+

Often additional or replacement self-contained fittings can upgrade routes using existing electrical infrastructure after safety checks.
