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.

    Thanks for your responses. Being on a phone makes it difficult to post.


    I would definitely like to get a professional designer to asses the needs of the site so that a complete spec can be handed out to an contractor to install.

    The trouble I’ve had inviting contractors is they all have their own ideas and interpretations mixed in with little urban myths that they’ve picked up over the years.


    It is a complex site, some areas are  offices, some areas are test labs. We have cad drawings to help. I could ask a manufacturer to design the system for us but that has its own problems in that we test emergency light fittings and I don’t want to show favouritism and/or jeopardise the company relationships.


     




    Interpretation and opinions, you will unfortunately have to join the dots. You'll find this in all walks of life, in a room full of electrician's you will more than likely get numerous solutions for the same scenario, doesn't mean any are incorrect. 


    Imo best to get an experienced expert in to mitigate risk as much as possible. 


    Regards TS
