Understanding your Building’s Emergency Lighting System

In a crisis, you can’t afford to be stumbling around in the dark. Emergency lighting is designed to automatically activate to provide life-saving illumination during power outages, building fires or any other type of emergency situation.

In Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the installation and maintenance of emergency lighting systems is regulated by the Queensland Development Code (QDC) and the Building Fire Safety Regulation. Depending on your building’s use, these systems may include:

  • Exit Signs: Clearly marked directional signs show occupants the closest safe exit, even in hazardous conditions like smoke-filled corridors or pitch-black rooms.
  • Path of Travel: Strategically installed emergency lighting, either on floors or ceilings, guides people around objects and obstacles for a quick and safe exit.
  • Backup Power: Emergency systems are equipped with backup power, so that illumination still functions during power failure. It is mandatory that lighting lasts for at least 90 minutes during a power failure.
  • Automatic Activation: Designed to trigger automatically when they are needed, these rely on sensors and standby modes, with central batteries, battery backups, sensors and more.
  • Mandatory Testing & Certification: To meet Queensland safety laws, your system requires regular 6-monthly discharge testing and maintenance for official logbook records and certifications.

Brisbane & Gold Coast Electrical FAQ

How quickly can an emergency electrician arrive at my home?

We aim to have a 24 hour electrician at your door as quickly as possible. With dedicated local teams stationed across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, the Redlands and Central Gold Coast, we prioritise high-hazard calls to ensure your property is made safe as fast as possible.

What is considered an electrical emergency?

If you notice any of the following, you need an urgent electrician immediately:

  • A burning smell or smoke coming from power points or the switchboard.

  • Zapping or buzzing sounds behind walls.

  • Loss of power to essential medical equipment or refrigeration.

  • A "tripped" safety switch that won't stay in the 'on' position.

  • Flood or storm damage affecting your home's wiring.

Are your electricians licensed to work in both Greater Brisbane and the Gold Coast?

Yes. Every member of our team is a fully licensed and insured electrician compliant with Queensland Electrical Safety Laws. We are trusted by more than 900 SEQ homeowners and back every emergency repair with our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee.

Can I try to fix a blown fuse or tripped switch myself?

No. In Queensland, it is illegal and life-threatening for unlicensed individuals to perform electrical work. If a safety switch trips, it has detected a fault. Continually resetting it can cause an electrical fire. Always wait for a qualified professional to conduct a proper fault-finding inspection.
