Emergency Bulkhead Lights - IP20 & IP65 LED Bulkheads

Emergency Bulkhead Lights FAQs

Where are emergency bulkhead lights typically installed?

Emergency bulkhead lights are typically installed in stairwells, corridors, fire escape routes, car parks, plant rooms and entranceways across commercial and industrial buildings. They suit warehouses, factories, retail units and sports facilities where clear illumination is needed during a power failure.

How long will emergency bulkhead lights operate during a power failure?

Most emergency bulkhead lights provide a minimum of three hours of illumination during a power failure, meeting UK standards for emergency lighting. Duration depends on the battery specification, so we can advise on the right model for your building’s requirements.

Are LED bulkhead emergency lights suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, many LED bulkhead emergency lights carry an IP65 or higher rating, making them suitable for outdoor and exposed areas. Look for a weatherproof model when lighting external walkways, loading bays or covered entrances.

Do emergency bulkhead lights require frequent testing?

Yes, emergency bulkhead lights require regular testing, typically a short monthly function test and an annual full-duration test, to stay compliant with UK regulations. Some models include self-test functionality to simplify this process, including options with a PIR sensor for activity-based operation.

What is the lifespan of LED emergency bulkhead lights?

LED emergency bulkhead lights typically last between 50,000 and 70,000 hours, far longer than traditional fittings. The rechargeable battery usually needs replacing every four to five years to maintain reliable backup performance.

What is the installation process of emergency bulkhead lights?

Emergency bulkhead lights are surface-mounted to a wall or ceiling and wired into the mains supply with a charged backup battery, and installation should always be carried out by a qualified electrician. We supply the products and can assist with your lighting design, though we do not offer installation.
