For larger Holywood sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

In Holywood, as elsewhere, the person responsible for fire safety must make sure escape routes are lit if the power fails. A clear design and certificate is the simplest evidence for your fire risk assessment.

Holywood FAQs

Can you work out of hours in Holywood?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Holywood offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Holywood?

Fire safety duties come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. For new lighting, Technical Booklet F2 sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.

Do you remove the old fittings in Holywood?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.

How long must emergency lights last?

The rated duration is set by the design and risk assessment. Three hours is common in premises that may be reoccupied after an incident.
