Emergency Exit Lighting That Works When Power Fails

In the middle of an emergency, clarity counts. Smoke thickens, panic rises, and visibility vanishes, this is when exit and emergency lighting becomes the difference between calm evacuation and confusion.

At Electrx, we install and maintain exit and emergency lighting systems that meet full compliance with AS/NZS 2293 standards and the National Construction Code (NCC). From warehouses to retail precincts, we specialise in commercial lighting solutions that prioritise safety, durability, and energy efficiency.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Punctual, polite, professional and well priced. The group did an excellent job working through my list of repairs: ceiling fan; smoke detectors; exhaust fan; switch board; and air con unit. I’d happily use Electrx for any future jobs and recommend to friends.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Electrx to install a couple of outdoor lights (with sensors), a motion sensor for an existing car port light, hard-wired doorbell camera, additional GPOs in the kitchen and converted existing recessed ceiling downlights into pendant lights which turned out great! Bill provided a reasonable quote for these works and he and his colleague did the works with care and attention to detail. They also helped me setup the doorbell camera and adjust the light sensors. Izzy was also great to deal with in the lead up to the day of the works. Everyone was responsive and provided details and answers to my questions. Highly recommend and would return again 💫

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The work Bill did adding two extra power points and hiding my HDMI cables was so good, he even helped with cable management which is beyond. I also had a EV charger installed which he got done with no problems at all. Thanks so much!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the service from Electrx. The team was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They took the time to understand my needs and recommended an EV charger that was better suited to my usage rather than simply installing the original option. The installation felt personalised to my home and requirements, and the workmanship was excellent. I really appreciated their honest advice and attention to detail. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't speak highly enough of Bill and the work he did today. Not only did he quickly identify the problem, but he also fixed it efficiently and professionally. He took the time to explain everything, was great to deal with, and offered a very fair price. I was so impressed with his knowledge, honesty, and workmanship that he'll be our electrician from now on. A genuinely nice bloke who really knows his trade. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled electrician.

Where Emergency Lighting Is Essential

Every commercial site has its own escape challenges. That’s why we ensure effective coverage in:

Office buildings and commercial tenancies
Car parks and outdoor exit paths

We ensure every fitting, sign, and test meets Australian Standard requirements and is supported by full documentation for audit or insurance purposes.

Stay Compliant, Stay Covered

Regulations demand more than a glowing sign. Emergency lighting must:

Stay illuminated for at least 90 minutes during power failure
Be tested monthly and discharge-tested annually
Remain clearly visible from all escape routes
Maintain performance even in adverse conditions

Neglecting these requirements could lead to serious liability, fines, or insurance complications-not to mention increased risk for staff or tenants.

With Electrx, you get a team of commercial electricians that understands both the letter and spirit of compliance. We’re here to ensure your lighting systems are not only installed right-but maintained to perform when it counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Victoria, emergency and exit lighting in Class 2 to Class 9 buildings must comply with the AS/NZS 2293.1 standard. Systems must remain illuminated for a minimum of 90 minutes during a power failure and undergo regular function and discharge testing. Building owners are legally responsible for ensuring systems remain compliant and operational.

Emergency lighting systems must be function tested monthly and undergo a full 90-minute battery discharge test at least once a year. These tests should be recorded in a logbook to ensure compliance with Australian safety regulations and insurance requirements.

Emergency lights must be installed above all exit doors and along evacuation paths, including corridors, stairwells, ramps, lift lobbies, and large open areas. Additional lighting is required at points where escape routes change direction, and near fire safety equipment, restrooms, plant rooms, and car parks.
