Abbot Fire Group, working in partnership with Everlux, have successfully completed an installation of low level lighting (LLL) for Hightown Housing Association. Based in nearby Hemel Hempstead, Hightown chose Everlux as the supplier for their LLL requirements having seen a demonstration at the International Firex exhibition earlier this year.
The project required Abbot Fire Group to fit low level lighting in three buildings managed by Hightown Housing Association. A total of 1.72 km of low level lighting strips were fitted, along with 404 steps. These were fitted across the three buildings: Beaton Court, Bailey Court, and Hosking Court.
Providing clear guidance
The general advice if one is evacuating a smoke filled area, is to drop to the knees and crawl out of the area
In the event of a fire in a building, smoke will rise. Therefore this can sometimes obscure the emergency lighting which is often situated above a door, or on the ceiling. Low level lighting provides clear guidance of the exit routes when emergency lighting is dimmed by smoke build up.
The general advice if one is evacuating a smoke filled area, is to drop to the knees and crawl out of the area. By doing this one can have a clearer visual of the escape route, and the air can be cleaner. With low level lighting the escape route is easily identified. LLL is cost effective to install, and easy to maintain; it can simply be wiped down with a cloth.
Abbot Fire Group’s team of LLL installation experts, working with reliable products supplied by Everlux, can install low level lighting. This ensures the escape routes are clearly highlighted in the unfortunate event of a fire.
