EMERGENCY LIGHTING
Protect People, Maintain Compliance, and Be Prepared When Normal Lighting Fails
Emergency lighting and illuminated exit signs are critical components of a building’s life-safety system. When normal power or lighting is interrupted, these systems help occupants safely identify exits and navigate the required path of egress.
SEES provides professional inspection, testing, repair, and evaluation of existing emergency lighting and exit-lighting systems to help ensure they are ready to perform when needed.
What Is an Emergency Lighting Inspection?
An emergency lighting inspection includes a visual and functional evaluation of your existing emergency lights and illuminated exit signs to determine whether the system is operating properly.
SEES identifies devices that are damaged, improperly functioning, or in need of repair or replacement. We can also identify areas where additional devices may be required based on applicable requirements.
Why Is Emergency Lighting Important?
Emergency lighting plays an essential role in protecting employees, residents, customers, visitors, and other building occupants.
Properly functioning emergency and exit lighting helps provide safe illumination when normal lighting conditions are disrupted by a power outage, fire, or other emergency. It helps occupants identify exits and maintain a visible path of egress from the building.
Maintaining these systems can also help property owners and businesses prepare for required inspections and address potential safety issues before they become larger problems.
What SEES Provides
SEES provides a comprehensive inspection of existing emergency lighting and exit-lighting devices to determine their condition and proper operation.
Our electrical professionals identify necessary repairs or replacements and can evaluate whether additional devices may be needed to meet requirements established by the authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) and applicable electrical and fire-safety codes.
When deficiencies are identified, SEES can provide the electrical services necessary to help bring the system into proper operating condition.

Life-Safety Equipment Needs to Work When You Need It Most
Emergency lighting may go largely unnoticed during normal building operations—but during a power failure or emergency, its proper operation becomes critical.
SEES can help ensure your emergency and exit-lighting systems are inspected, functioning properly, and prepared to provide illumination when normal lighting is no longer available.
