Emergency lighting is a core requirement for retailers to provide a safe place for customers and staff to work and visit. Three Acts that cover the UK make it mandatory for a commercial property to provide adequate lighting that helps people to escape to safety when their safety may be at risk. Installing and maintaining such lighting systems have in the past, at times been complex, and expensive. Now, Store Maintenance, with manufacturing partner Clevertronics, has the perfect solution for emergency lighting that is a cost-effective route to compliance.
For any retail property, emergency lighting must be installed, regularly tested, and kept maintained to operate correctly. That may sound straightforward, but in practice it can be time-consuming and costly. There is the monthly flick test, followed by an annual full 3 hour duration test, investigate any failures, battery replacements, replacing failed fittings, plus recording all tests and maintenance work. That is a hefty schedule for just one property. Multiply this by 5, 10 or 100, and it can be a significant investment of time and resources.
How can you make this easier? With Clevertronics you can reduce the time and cost of your emergency lighting in three ways:
Automated Testing
Providing a way to make your inspections and maintenance more efficient instantly frees up time and resources. Clevertronics provide a Remote Monitoring system that connects up to 1,000 fittings to a single controller. This automatically tests each units and sends reports of the results for compliance. The system can be cloud based or, if connectivity is an issue, kept as a standalone system instead.
Reliable, long-life fittings and consumables
One of the most common issue with emergency lighting is the continual failure of the batteries installed in fittings. Clevertronics provide battery technology with an expected lifespan of more than 12 years. This alone can reduce maintenance by up to 80%, half energy consumption and achieve carbon emission savings by up to 89%.
Extended warranties and free support
With batteries and LED fittings warranted for 10 years, Clevertronics provide emergency lighting which is truly fit and forget. Even better, support for the installed system is entirely free for the duration of the warranty, including training and upgrades. This effectively gives retailers a decade of worry-free emergency lighting.
The Easiest Emergency Lighting System To Install
As Clevertronics emergency lighting consists of standalone fitting connected wirelessly to a controller. There is no need for disruptive wiring installation or electrical testing. Simply select the optimum locations and install, then connect. Cutting the time to installation from days to hours. This makes it a really attractive system for retailers in properties where changes to interiors will be expensive or even not allowed, such as listed buildings.
Clevertronics provide the most advanced solution to emergency lighting for retailers. It is easy to install, is far cheaper to operate than alternatives, and make safety compliance a simple, time efficient process.
