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.

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.
