As a top electrical contractor serving the area for over 25 years, Ampco Electric understands the importance of emergency lighting. When power goes out unexpectedly, emergency lights illuminate paths of egress and provide critical visibility. We offer complete emergency lighting installation services for both residential and commercial properties.
Emergency lighting provides key benefits:
Emergency lights mark pathways to safely exit buildings during outages. This prevents falls or becoming trapped. We install emergency fixtures with optimal lumens to light stairwells, doorways, hallways, and passageways enabling safe evacuation.
Emergency lighting allows occupants to safely move around and exit premises, improving safety. Our installers consider mounting locations and light distributions to maximize visibility for walking during power failures.
Some commercial/industrial equipment requires shut down procedures to avoid damage. Emergency lights facilitate this process. We consult on placing lights near essential control panels, switches, and machinery.
Emergency personnel rely on lighting to navigate buildings and assist occupants during response calls. We design emergency lighting to aid police, fire, and EMTs.
Emergency lights switch on automatically when standard lights lose power, providing backup illumination. Self-contained battery units require no manual intervention to activate.
Most commercial buildings are legally required to maintain emergency lighting for worker and occupant safety. Our installations meet all local codes and ordinances.
Once hazards are cleared post-outage, emergency lights allow staff to re-enter and resume operations. We install rear entry and parking area lights.
Sufficient lighting deters opportunistic theft and accidents during outages. We place lights to illuminate merchandise and high-value items.
Low light during outages can cause anxiety or panic. Adequate emergency light takes this factor into account for occupant well-being.
Insufficient emergency lighting opens organizations to liability risks if injuries occur in dark facilities. Compliant lighting limits this liability.
While recommended in all buildings, key areas to install emergency lighting include:
Ampco Electric offers code-compliant installations of reliable, high-quality emergency lighting solutions. Options we recommend include:
We install emergency ballasts that automatically switch fluorescent lights to battery backup power when the main lights go out. These will maintain fluorescent illumination for 90 minutes.
LED fixtures can connect to emergency LED drivers that supply battery power to keep lights operational for hours when electricity is cut. Drivers are more reliable than bulbs.
For key areas, we recommend compact emergency spotlights containing built-in batteries that automatically power high-lumen LED lamps during outages. These provide directed light where needed most.
Battery packs can be installed to convert standard light fixtures into emergency lights that continue working when the power fails. Many fixtures are compatible with external packs.
Self-contained emergency lights feature batteries integrated directly into the fixture to provide autonomous operation for 1-4 hours after power loss. No wiring necessary.
Exit signs with battery backup illumination mark egress routes when standard lighting goes dark. Exit signs should last a minimum of 90 minutes on battery.
Also called emergency unit equipment (EUE), these battery-powered remote lamp heads connect into fixtures on normal power and detach to become portable emergency lights when needed.
Inverters connect battery banks to building wiring to power certain lights during outages. We determine appropriate batteries for extended operation.
Transfer switches automatically redirect power from main circuits to emergency circuits for backup lighting during outages.
Similar to transfer switches, we can also install centralized emergency inverters supplying backup power to an entire lighting circuit.
For upscale interiors, decorative emergency lights blend unobtrusively into the décor while providing vital backup illumination.

Ampco Electric’s 25+ years of experience allows us to make emergency lighting recommendations tailored to your unique environment. Design factors we consider include:
Office buildings, schools, hospitals, high-rises, and assembly spaces all have distinct emergency lighting needs we account for.
The size and ceiling height of spaces dictate the luminosity needed for adequate emergency illumination.
We adjust placement to illuminate obstacles like shelving and machinery that can block egress when dark.
Natural light during daytime outages may reduce the emergency lighting load needed in perimeter spaces.
The amount of light reflected in a space impacts the emergency lighting required. Dark paint absorbs more light.
Wired fixtures, remote units, and battery-powered lights have different voltage and wiring needs.
The variety of fixture types, including surface mount, recessed, and suspended models, provide flexibility.
Areas needing illumination for extended outage periods necessitate lights with extra battery capacity.
Accessible fixtures simplify mandated testing and battery swaps. We recommend suitable models.
For upscale spaces, we specify refined emergency lights complementing the interior design.
We’ll design an optimal system balancing performance and costs based on your project budget and goals.
Factoring in these elements allows us to prepare a custom emergency lighting plan matching your facility’s unique requirements.
