Emergency Lighting

Andy65
Morning all.


I am based on a large site in Hemel Hempstead. Maintenance has been neglected for many years. Offices and labs have been move around with no thought to the emergency lighting requirements.


We are now trying to take control of the situation  and I am looking for a company to do the design for us - Google hasn’t produced many ideas!


if any of you guys and gals could point me in the  right direction that would be very helpful.

    OMS:

    Possibly, Richard - but it's fairly common practice, as a consultant I'm usually happy for there to be two signatures in the certification for design and one for verification.


    I was just suggesting that a "party" not tied in with any manufacturer or installer is probably the best placed to give impartial advice as to "what" is required, and the principles of "how" that is achieved (eg is central battery the right option, based on a specific client needs, is a lighting upgrade worthwhile whilst cutting and carving the emergency lighting system)

    Sorry, my mistake I misunderstood. I thought you meant pass the design across to a TPA designer for authorisation.

    Yes, multiple signatures on the cert are OK. It is common practice for the designer to commission the system...but not always.

    I definitely agree manufacturers are not the best option...they are cheaper (or even free) but they are selling lights, not lighting. And I've seen some pretty poor non-compliant designs from them. And most aren't TPA.
