Benefits of Emergency Light Services from Fire Safety Solutions
Exit Signs & Emergency Lighting in Toronto
Exit signs and emergency lights are not the first things that come to mind when talking about fire protection, – however, in the event of a fire or another emergency, they play a critical role in safely evacuating building occupants.
Exit Sign and Emergency Lighting System Installers
Fire Safety Solutions is a GTA-based fire protection company specializing in exit signs and emergency lighting for Toronto properties. We sell, install, inspect, and repair emergency lighting equipment for local businesses, always committed to providing competent information, prompt service, and quality results.
Emergency Lights for Toronto Buildings: Why You Need Them
Emergency lighting and emergency exit signs are required by local building codes along with occupancy and safety guidelines. These simple measures can help to save hundreds of lives in emergency situations, from major fires to simple power outages. For many types of businesses, even a power outage can be dangerous, and emergency lights and exit signs can help effectively guide the way for people out of the building.
The Ontario Fire Code also dictates mandatory inspections of emergency lighting systems and all their components. At Fire Safety Solutions, we do not only install emergency light systems but also ensure fire code compliance by conducting monthly or annual inspections by certified technicians.
Why Test Emergency & Exit Lighting?
At Fire Safety Solutions, we offer more than emergency light product installation. We can also conduct regular maintenance and testing of existing lighting systems to ensure compliance and safety at all times. Here is why testing emergency lights is important:
Compliance with Legal Regulations
The Ontario Fire Code is a legal document that outlines specific fire safety measures that must be followed by buildings. Regular emergency light testing is among the Code’s requirements, and doing so ensures that you remain compliant with these legal obligations.
Life-Saving Functionality
Emergency lights and exit signs in Toronto buildings play a key role in guiding occupants toward safety in emergency situations or during power outages. Regular testing and maintenance ensure that the lights will work properly when needed, minimizing the risk of injury or panic during evacuation.
Early Detection & Preventive Maintenance
Regular testing allows us to identify any malfunctioning components like batteries or bulbs early, before they cause troubles in an emergency situation. Prompt repairs and replacement can prevent potential failures when the emergency lighting is needed most.

Emergency Lighting: Frequently Asked Questions
Emergency lights for Toronto buildings are designed to provide illumination specifically during power outages or emergencies. Most emergency lights and exit signs typically have built-in battery backup systems that activate automatically as soon as the main power supply fails.
While exit signs should be illuminated at all times, emergency remote lighting should not. Instead, it should activate automatically during a power outage to support safe evacuation and navigation through the building.
The lifespan of batteries used in emergency lighting can vary depending on the light usage, maintenance, and the type of battery. For instance, sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries typically last between 3 and 5 years.
There is no universal battery size for an emergency light unit, which means that the unit must be opened to determine the battery size.
The most common batteries used in emergency lighting units are sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries, which can come in different sizes. Newer emergency light systems can also use Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) batteries.
