Where Should Exit & Emergency Lights Be Placed?
Correct placement of exit and emergency lighting is critical for safe evacuation during an emergency. At DNA Electrical, we follow AS2293 standards to ensure every fitting is installed exactly where it’s needed.
Exit Sign Placement
Exit signs must be clearly visible to building occupants at all times — even in low-visibility conditions. They are typically required at:
- All designated exit doors
- The top of staircases
- Points of directional change in hallways and escape routes
- Doorways that lead directly to a safe exit path
Emergency Light Placement
Emergency luminaires need to illuminate key areas to guide people safely during a power outage or fire. Common installation points include:
- Stairwells and ramps
- Corridors, passageways and exit routes
- Intersections and directional changes
- Areas outside exit doors
- Plant rooms, switchboards, and lifts
Our team ensures every light and sign is positioned for maximum visibility and compliance.
Why It Matters
Exit and emergency lighting isn’t something you notice — until you really need it. These systems play a crucial role in protecting lives, supporting emergency procedures, and meeting your legal obligations.
Here’s why proper maintenance and compliance are essential:
Safety in Emergencies
Well-maintained exit and emergency lighting can mean the difference between calm evacuation and chaos. Clear illuminated paths help occupants exit quickly during fires, blackouts, or other emergencies.
Legal & Insurance Compliance
Regulations require most commercial and industrial premises to install and maintain emergency lighting. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, failed audits, and denied insurance claims.
Reliability & Peace of Mind
Scheduled servicing ensures your system is ready when it’s needed most. You’ll receive detailed reports, test logs, and expert advice on any required upgrades or repairs.

Routine Testing & Maintenance Is Essential
Exit and emergency lighting must be tested at least every six months to ensure it operates correctly in the event of a blackout. One of the key requirements is the 90-minute discharge test to verify battery performance.
At DNA Electrical, we offer scheduled testing and reporting for commercial and industrial clients across the Central Coast, Newcastle and Hunter regions.
Neglecting these services can lead to:
- Fines for non-compliance
- Insurance issues
- Increased risk during evacuation
- Serious safety hazards
We take care of everything — from testing and reporting to repairs and replacement — giving you full confidence your building remains compliant and protected.
