Emergency lighting that fits your Lisburn premises
We install, test and maintain emergency lighting for Lisburn shops, offices and workplaces. Whether the building is around Sprucefield, Altona Road or the city centre, we assess its escape routes and arrange the work around how it is used.
Emergency light testing in Lisburn
From Sprucefield retail units to workplaces around Altona Road, we plan access and testing around the building. Read how often emergency lighting should be tested.
Function tests each month
A brief test checks that the lights and signs operate on emergency power. Results are recorded, including any fitting that needs attention.
Full-duration test each year
The test follows the system’s rated duration, commonly three hours. The timing and battery recharge period are agreed before the visit.
Records and remedial work
You receive the findings and certificates appropriate to the work. Faults are explained, with repairs and retesting agreed separately.
Emergency Lighting Systems We Install in Lisburn
Our engineers install systems matched to the size, layout, and occupancy type of each building:
Self-contained luminaires The standard solution for most small and medium commercial premises. Each luminaire contains its own battery, charger, and test function. Available in maintained and non-maintained versions. Suitable for retail units, offices, and smaller business premises across Lisburn city centre.
Central battery systems For larger buildings where centralised power and monitoring is preferred. All luminaires run from a single battery bank, with individual circuit monitoring. Well suited to larger retail units at Sprucefield and industrial premises on Altona Road and the Ballinderry estates.
LED emergency conversion kits For premises upgrading existing fittings to LED while adding emergency capability. A cost-effective route for buildings where a full rewire is not practical.
Automatic testing and monitoring
Suitable systems can carry out scheduled tests and record their results. Staff still need to review faults and arrange maintenance; automatic testing does not remove those responsibilities.
All systems are installed and commissioned to BS 5266-1:2025, and a completion certificate is issued on handover.
Lisburn Premises We Understand
Lisburn’s mix of retail, healthcare, industrial, and city-centre buildings creates a specific range of emergency lighting requirements:
Sprucefield retail premises
Sales floors, stockrooms and shared exits need a coordinated layout. We plan access around trading hours and consider customers who may be unfamiliar with the building.
Healthcare and supported premises
Where occupants need assistance, the evacuation arrangements and staffing affect the design. We work to the agreed fire strategy and access arrangements, without assigning one solution to every healthcare building.
Altona Road and Ballinderry workplaces
High ceilings, machinery and changes to racking can affect the light reaching escape routes. We check the layout and agree safe access for installation and maintenance.
Leisure and public-access buildings
Changing room layouts and dimmed lighting need to be considered in the design. Testing is planned around the use of the space, including any period needed for batteries to recharge.
Hillsborough and Moira premises
We also cover businesses around Lisburn. Refurbishments and changes of use are an opportunity to review existing lighting and signs before new layouts are completed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a retail unit need a different layout from an industrial building?
Often. Racking, ceiling height, shared exits and the people using the premises all influence the lighting and signs. We assess each Lisburn building and its escape arrangements rather than selecting a package by building type.
What should healthcare premises consider?
The evacuation strategy, occupants who need assistance and staffing arrangements are central to the design. We work to the agreed requirements and plan access and testing around the safe operation of the premises.
What light level is required on an escape route?
BS 5266-1:2025 specifies at least 1 lux at floor level across the defined escape route, excluding the permitted border strips. The calculation area and other locations are assessed under the current design standards. A centre-line reading alone is not the complete current check.
What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained lighting?
A maintained fitting is illuminated during normal use and continues in emergency mode when needed. A non-maintained fitting illuminates when the normal supply fails. The choice depends on the use of the space, signs and escape arrangements; we confirm it during the design.
How long should the annual test last?
It follows the rated duration of the installed system, commonly three hours. We confirm the specification before testing and plan the test and recharge period around the safe use of the Lisburn premises.
