Emergency lighting keeps escape routes, exits and critical areas visible the moment mains power fails during a fire or outage. Protech Fire designs, supplies, installs and maintains DCD-approved emergency and exit lighting systems across Dubai and the UAE, laid out to meet the UAE Fire & Life Safety Code so people can evacuate quickly and safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is emergency lighting mandatory in Dubai?
Yes. The UAE Fire & Life Safety Code requires emergency and exit lighting on escape routes and in key areas of most commercial, industrial and residential buildings, and Dubai Civil Defence checks it during approval and inspection.
How often should emergency lighting be tested?
Best practice is a short monthly function test and a full-duration test annually. Protech Fire can carry this out under an annual maintenance contract and keep the records for compliance.
How long must emergency lights stay on during a power failure?
Typically a minimum of 90 minutes, depending on the building and occupancy. We size the batteries and system to meet the required duration for your premises.
Can you maintain or upgrade our existing emergency lighting?
Absolutely. We survey your current system, replace faulty fittings and batteries, and bring it up to DCD-compliant standard – whether we installed it or not.
