Through the hotel and leisure industry, there are many different emergency lighting challenges. With Hochiki, we can find the right solution for your hotel and leisure facility.
Leisure sites present an environment with many risks, and when the mains power fails, reliable escape route and exit sign illumination becomes essential to guide guests and staff to safety, from bedrooms to kitchens and laundry rooms.
Leisure sites present various levels of risk and, as such, sometimes require specific emergency lighting design to suit different areas of a building, from guest floors to plant rooms.
The leisure environment is complex, with a multitude of layouts coupled with many guests unfamiliar with the building layout, plus other members of the public, all of whom depend on clear, well-lit escape routes.
In the event of a power failure or evacuation, clear illuminated exit signage and escape route lighting help leisure facility staff guide guests calmly and efficiently.
The RRFSO places a duty of care on hotel owners and leisure facility estate managers to ensure emergency lighting is fit for purpose and designed, installed, commissioned and maintained in accordance with BS 5266 by competent contractors.
FIREscape Nepto's luminaire and exit sign designs, including low-profile and recessed options, allow emergency lighting to be integrated into a hotel's interior design without compromising the guest experience.
Emergency lighting for hotel corridors, illuminated exit signage for leisure venues, and low-profile luminaires to suit any hotel or leisure environment.
Luminaire batteries have an expected 10-year lifespan, and the low-voltage, self-testing design simplifies installation and maintenance, reducing costs compared with central battery or mains-powered systems over the system's lifetime.
Each FIREscape Nepto control panel supports up to two lighting lines and 127 devices per line, with up to 12 panels networkable together — making it suitable for a single boutique hotel through to a large stadium or multi-site leisure group, all controlled from a single point.
Hospitality and leisure-based buildings such as hotels, theatres, cinemas and sports stadia have unique requirements when it comes to life safety. They are busy environments that combine a high density of people, often over several different floors and areas. It is therefore important that, in the event of a power failure, escape routes remain clearly lit to ensure a fast and efficient evacuation of the building, preventing death or injury. Hotels are often unfamiliar to guests and visitors.
To put this statement into perspective, the UK had almost 31 million visits by overseas residents in 2011 according to the Office for National Statistics. Many of these would have spent at least one night in a hotel bedroom, having had little awareness of evacuation routes from the building and no familiarity with the hotel's fire safety regime — making clear, illuminated escape signage all the more critical if power is lost during an emergency.
Then there are occasional visitors to consider – contractors unfamiliar with the site may be working, occasional suppliers may be making deliveries, and utility providers may be servicing equipment.
