Easy Steps: Connect Egress Lights to Fire & Security System

At Vision Line, we realize that you do not need to make it challenging to connect your fire and security system to egress lights. This integration is safe, compliant, and runs smoothly when well planned and executed by appropriate expertise. An efficiently designed outdoor lighting installation not only helps increase visibility during your dark hours but also enhances the security of your indoor egress to walkways, ramps, and parking areas.

Why Egress Lights Matter?

Egress lighting is essential for emergency evacuation safety in the event of a fire, power failure, or other unforeseen circumstances. Well-integrated egress lights provide instant illumination to guide occupants on exit routes without wasting time. The certified commercial electricians at Vision Line ensure that every system is interconnected with your fire and security panels, so that whenever an alarm occurs, lights will automatically come on to comply with local and national fire codes (NFPA 101 and International Building Code).

In addition to safety, our exterior egress systems provide seamless, well-illuminated paths down the interior corridors to the exterior walkways, offering peace of mind for employees, visitors, and residents.

How Vision Line Handles Egress Integration?

In Vision Line, we have a methodized process towards integration of egress lights to fire and security systems whilst maintaining efficiency, safety and reliability:

• Designing Outdoor Lighting Needs

Our team starts by evaluating the layout of your facility to identify all exit doors, stairs, corridors, and outside walks. All egress features are to be strategically placed to ensure complete coverage. Fire and security panels are also installed properly to reduce wiring complexity and optimize performance.

• Safe and Reliable Wiring

Safety is our priority. We employ professional electricians in the commercial sector who handle all wiring in a manner that de-energizes the circuits, and the conduits used are weatherproof, so they last longer. Wiring connections are well-tested and planned to ensure smooth operation.

• Fixture Installation and Alignment

The egress lights are mounted at the best height and position, with anti-corrosive hardware being used to support them outdoors. Directional signs are placed to guide occupants to the exits, providing a clear visual indication in an emergency.

• Fire and Security System Integration

Vision Line combines your fire panel Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) with egress circuits. Relays or dry contacts are added where necessary to connect security panels. We have programmed our systems to automatically activate egress lights whenever an alarm is raised, ensuring we respond immediately without manually operating them.

• Testing and Ongoing Maintenance

Once installed, all egress lights undergo strict testing procedures to ensure high-quality operation. Vision Line maintains documentation and conducts regular checks to ensure that every system is code-compliant and fully functional.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Egress Setups

By contacting a reliable commercial electrician at Vision Line, you avoid the following mistakes-

• Ignoring local fire codes(NFPA 101 and IBC).
• Skipping wire labeling.
• Using non-energy-efficient lighting.
• Failing to seal outdoor fixtures.

Energy Efficient Lighting Solutions

Vision Line uses energy efficient lighting where feasible, e.g., LED egress fixtures, to reduce power consumption and maintenance costs. These are long-lasting, low-heat running lights mainly used in commercial premises and are generally preferred in our outdoor lighting systems.
