Emergency Lighting Conversions
Flexible Emergency Lighting Solutions for Commercial Spaces
ALD Lighting Solutions provides emergency lighting conversions for commercial applications, adapting suitable standard lighting products to incorporate emergency functionality. This gives you greater flexibility when specifying luminaires, allowing emergency lighting to be integrated into the wider lighting scheme while maintaining the required performance and appearance.
We can design, supply and commission emergency lighting solutions, working with consultants, contractors and other professionals to meet the specific requirements of your building or space.
Converting Standard Luminaires for Emergency Use
An emergency lighting conversion takes a suitable standard luminaire and adds the components required to provide emergency operation if the normal lighting supply fails.
This provides greater choice when selecting products for a lighting scheme. Rather than being restricted to dedicated emergency fittings throughout the space, suitable standard luminaires can be adapted to provide the required emergency functionality. This can be particularly valuable in architectural and commercial environments where maintaining a consistent appearance is important.
Emergency Lighting Design, Supply and Commissioning
ALD can support your emergency lighting requirements from initial design through to commissioning. We design commercial emergency lighting systems in accordance with BS 5266-1:2025 and can supply the luminaires and emergency conversions required for the completed scheme.
BS 5266-1:2025 is the current British Standard covering emergency lighting of premises. It provides recommendations and guidance on the design, installation and wiring of emergency lighting systems.
Our team also provides commissioning, working alongside the electrical contractor responsible for the installation. The installing contractor will be responsible for the certification.
Emergency Lighting Without Compromising the Design
Emergency lighting has an essential safety function, but it also needs to work successfully within the overall lighting design.
By incorporating emergency functionality into suitable standard products, we can help maintain a more consistent appearance across the space. ALD’s wider expertise in bespoke product design and lighting re-engineering also means we can find practical solutions where an off-the-shelf product doesn’t meet the requirements.
We offer emergency lighting conversions across a wide range of commercial environments, including education, healthcare, retail, leisure and sports facilities, commercial offices, factories and warehouses.
Commercial Emergency Lighting Expertise
Every building has different lighting requirements. We work closely with architects, M&E consultants, electrical contractors and other professionals to ensure the emergency lighting is considered alongside the wider scheme.
From selecting suitable luminaires for conversion to designing and commissioning the emergency lighting system, our focus is on delivering a safe, practical solution that meets the technical requirements while complementing the overall lighting design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a standard light fitting be converted to emergency lighting?
Suitable standard luminaires can be adapted to incorporate emergency functionality. Whether a particular product is suitable for conversion will depend on the luminaire and the requirements of the emergency lighting system. We can advise on the appropriate options for your scheme.
Can emergency lighting conversions help maintain a consistent lighting design?
Yes. Converting suitable standard luminaires can allow emergency functionality to be incorporated while maintaining a more consistent appearance across the wider lighting scheme. This can be particularly beneficial in commercial spaces where aesthetics are an important consideration.
When should emergency lighting be considered in a new commercial lighting scheme?
Emergency lighting should be considered from the early design stages so that the required provision can be integrated effectively with the overall lighting scheme. This allows factors such as luminaire selection, positioning and emergency functionality to be considered together.
