Emergency Lighting
Lighting for emergency situations and power outages.
Covering commercial and domestic premises across Hastings and East Sussex.
Emergency lighting keeps people safe and a building compliant when the mains power fails. We design, install and maintain emergency lighting systems for commercial and domestic premises, ensuring escape routes and key areas stay lit during an outage or evacuation.
Alfa Electric has installed and maintained emergency lighting across Hastings and East Sussex since 1979 — in shops, schools, offices and public buildings. Systems are installed and tested to BS 5266, with periodic inspection available to keep your premises certified year after year.

Common questions
What standards apply?
Emergency lighting is governed by BS EN 1838 and BS 5266. We design and install to these standards.
What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained fittings?
Maintained fittings stay illuminated continuously; non-maintained only activate when the mains fails. We advise the right type for your premises and risk profile.
How often does emergency lighting need testing?
Monthly function tests and an annual full-duration test are required. We can arrange an ongoing service schedule to keep your building compliant without extra effort on your part.
