Why Choose Elysium For Emergency Lighting

Benefits Of Compliant Emergency Lighting

✓ BCA-compliant emergency lighting and exit sign installation
✓ Scheduled testing to meet your legal obligations
✓ Battery backup systems that keep working during a power outage
✓ Clear records of testing and maintenance for your building file
✓ Peace of mind that occupants can exit safely in an emergency
✓ Work completed by a licensed electrical contractor, not an unlicensed installer

Why Professional Installation Matters

Emergency lighting only works if it's correctly positioned, powered and tested — a system that looks right but hasn't been tested properly can fail exactly when it's needed. Here's why a licensed install matters:

✓ BCA and AS 2293 compliance — emergency lighting and exit signs in Australia are governed by AS 2293, covering placement, duration and testing
✓ Correct placement — exit paths, stairwells and change-of-direction points need coverage, not just the main exit door
✓ Battery backup duration — systems need to run for the required minimum time during a power outage
✓ Scheduled testing — regular testing is a legal requirement, not a one-off install-and-forget job
✓ Compliance certificate — every installation is backed by a proper compliance certificate

Understanding Emergency Lighting Compliance

A few basics that help explain your legal obligations:

The Building Code Of Australia (BCA)

Most commercial buildings are required under the BCA to have emergency lighting and exit signage, with specific requirements depending on building use and size.

AS 2293 — The Governing Standard

Australian Standard AS 2293 covers the design, installation and ongoing testing of emergency lighting and exit signs, including placement and battery backup duration.

Ongoing Testing Obligations

Emergency lighting isn't a one-off install — building owners and managers are responsible for regular testing to confirm systems still work, with records kept for compliance.

Who's Responsible

Building owners and managers are generally responsible for ensuring emergency lighting and exit signs remain compliant and tested, whether the building is owned outright, leased, or managed by a strata scheme.
