Give emergency lighting suitable backup power
Loads checked first
We match battery planning to the connected lighting load and intended duration.
Compatibility considered
We review the lighting and charging arrangement before battery integration.
Specialist build knowledge
We bring direct experience constructing backup batteries for Eaton Lighting.
Backup power matched to the lighting load
Emergency lights depend on stored power when the normal mains supply fails. We build and integrate backup battery systems with the load, intended operating duration and charging arrangement in mind. Available space, equipment compatibility and access also affect the right approach. Some premises use central batteries that support several luminaires, while others rely on batteries contained within individual fittings. We explain where each arrangement can be useful and assess how it fits the wider system. Choosing battery equipment without checking these factors risks poor compatibility or backup that doesn't match what the lighting needs.
Experience from demanding battery applications
We've spent 20 years carrying out work for Eaton Lighting, including the specialist construction and servicing of emergency lighting backup batteries. Our experience includes battery applications at St Paul's Cathedral, as well as work at army bases and RAF bases. These projects provide direct experience of significant systems where battery capacity, connections and reliable integration matter. For each job, we review the existing or proposed lighting equipment, establish the battery requirements and plan practical installation access before building or connecting the backup arrangement.
Frequently asked questions
How is emergency lighting battery capacity chosen?
The system load, required operating duration, charging setup and compatible equipment all affect selection. Space and access also matter, particularly where central batteries must fit within an existing installation.
Are central batteries different from batteries in each light?
Yes. A central arrangement supplies backup power to multiple fittings, while a self-contained luminaire carries its own battery. The building layout, equipment and servicing approach help determine which is appropriate.
Can you build batteries for an existing lighting system?
We can review the system, battery requirements and equipment compatibility before confirming the suitable work. Known model details, load information, duration requirements and charging faults are useful at the enquiry stage.
