A considered approach
Emergency lighting in a hotel project
Ask the appointed fire and electrical specialists to define the requirements for your building. Do not assume that decorative corridor or step lights fulfil emergency duties. England’s official sleeping-accommodation guidance is a useful starting point for projects in England, but should not be applied unchanged across the UK or Europe. Record who designs, installs, commissions and maintains the system.
What matters here
- 01
Identify the applicable jurisdiction and fire strategy
- 02
Coordinate signs and fittings with the interior
- 03
Plan testing, records and maintenance
What to include in your brief
Share the fire strategy and electrical design responsibilities with the lighting team.
Planning guidance, not a substitute for project-specific engineering. Confirm the applicable local requirements with your design team.
