Need emergency lighting installed or upgraded in a commercial property? MCI Electrical designs the fitting positions and escape route coverage, installs the luminaires and controls, then tests the completed system. The work covers offices, shops, warehouses and industrial premises across Eastleigh and the surrounding business areas.
The price follows the number of fittings and how far the cable has to run, so I quote after walking the route with you. Work outside your normal opening hours is charged at a different rate, agreed up front.
Emergency fittings go where the escape route needs them: above final exit doors, at changes of direction, at stairs and by firefighting equipment. I walk the route with you first, so we agree every position before anything is drilled.
In corporate suites across Solent Business Park in Whiteley and Hampshire Corporate Park in Chandler's Ford, escape route signage and recessed LED exit indicators are installed to ensure safe egress through corridors and stairwells.
In warehouses and workshops along Peacock Trading Estate in Eastleigh or Segensworth East, surface mounted emergency twin spot units illuminate large open floors and machinery zones when main lighting circuits trip.
Around Bishopstoke, Fair Oak and Botley, care facilities and community buildings require continuous, clear directional lighting along internal corridors and final exit doors to support orderly evacuation.
It covers mounting the fittings, wiring them in, the test switches, the first charge and a full switchover test. Long cable runs needing new trunking are surveyed and quoted first.
I need access to the escape routes and to the local lighting circuits, plus room to work safely at height. If the date stops suiting you, rescheduling is free.
Ensure floor areas directly beneath proposed light fittings, exit doors and key switch points are clear of stock, furniture or temporary barriers.
Identify the distribution boards supplying power to existing lighting circuits so key switches can be wired into the correct local supply.
You end the day with the lighting installed, tested, switched over once already and written into your log book. You also get a reminder when the next test falls due.
Every job is carried out to current standards, fully tested and left tidy. You get the certificate the same day the work finishes, with a plain English summary you can act on, and a reminder when your next test is due. Quotes are free, rescheduling is free, and there is no callout fee. The same electrician quotes the work, does it and signs it off.
Get Free QuoteThe questions I get asked most about putting emergency lighting in.
I look at your exit routes, corridor intersections, changes in floor level and final exit doors. In units across Eastleigh trading estates and Southampton docks, fittings must clearly illuminate exit paths and safety equipment.
Yes. I wire self contained luminaires into the local lighting circuit so that if power to the main lights in that zone fails, the emergency fitting instantly switches to battery power.
Maintained fittings are lit all the time and stay lit on battery when the power fails. The other kind stays dark until the lighting circuit fails, and then the battery brings it on.
Yes. Key operated switches are fitted on the supply line to allow routine monthly checks without turning off general lighting circuits across the entire floor.
