Emergency Lighting

Guiding people to safety when it matters most.
Emergency lighting plays a vital role in helping people evacuate buildings safely during power failures, fires, or other emergency situations. At VWS, we design, install, and maintain emergency lighting systems that deliver clear, compliant illumination along escape routes and safety points.Every solution is tailored to your building’s layout, usage, and risk profile, with all works carried out in line with BS 5266-1 and current building regulations — ensuring safe evacuation and full compliance at all times.
We work across a wide range of environments — from care homes and social housing to large commercial buildings and retail parks — delivering emergency lighting systems that are reliable, efficient, and discreet.Through our CAFM platform, we manage routine testing, remedial works, and reporting, keeping your system compliant and fully prepared at all times. You’ll have clear visibility of when tests were completed, when the next checks are due, and whether any action is required — giving you complete confidence and control.

Design & Installation

Every building is unique, which is why we design emergency lighting systems to suit your exact layout and risk profile. From anti-panic lighting in open areas to clearly illuminated escape routes and exit signage, we ensure your system supports safe evacuation and meets all legal requirements.All installations are carried out neatly and professionally, with lighting fully integrated into your wider fire safety systems for a coordinated, compliant approach to life safety.

Our teams manage this process on your behalf, ensuring all inspections are carried out correctly and on schedule.Every test is recorded, tracked, and stored within our CAFM system, with any faults identified and rectified promptly. This gives you complete peace of mind, backed by a clear, auditable record of compliance at all times.
