Expert Emergency Lighting Solutions
Professional design, installation, and maintenance of emergency lighting systems tailored for Irish businesses. Fully compliant with I.S. 3217:2023.
The Importance of Compliance
In the event of a power failure or fire, your emergency lighting is the critical guide to safety. Under the Fire Services Acts and Health & Safety Legislation, Irish building owners are legally responsible for the provision and maintenance of functional emergency lighting.
At GME, we bridge the gap between complex regulations and your peace of mind. We ensure your premises meet the rigorous standards.
Legal Requirement: It is mandatory for all commercial buildings in Ireland to conduct quarterly and annual testing of emergency lighting. Failure to provide a certified logbook can lead to heavy fines and the invalidation of insurance policies.
1. Professional System Design
Our engineers create intelligent layouts that ensure maximum visibility during an evacuation. We focus on "Points of Emphasis," including changes in floor levels, intersections, and fire-fighting equipment locations.
2. Installation & LED Retrofitting
We specialize in the installation of robust, high-performance luminaires.
Modern LED Upgrades: Reduce energy consumption by up to 70%.
Aesthetic Integration: Discreet units for modern retail and hospitality spaces.
Self-Test Systems: Advanced electronics that automatically alert you to battery or bulb failures.
3. Commissioning & Certification
GME provides the essential Completion Certificates required by Fire Officers and Insurance surveyors. We don't just fit lights; we guarantee they work when it matters most.
4. Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
Stay compliant without the stress. Our maintenance packages include:
Quarterly Inspections: Functional tests of all luminaires.
Annual Duration Tests: A full 3-hour battery discharge test.
Logbook Management: We maintain your on-site records to ensure you are audit-ready 365 days a year.

Q: My lights seem to work; do I still need a certificate?
A: Yes. A visual "green light" is not proof of battery duration. You must have a professional technician verify the discharge time to satisfy Irish law.
Q: Can GME take over an existing system installed by someone else?
A: Absolutely. We can perform an initial "Site Audit" to bring your current system up to code and take over the ongoing maintenance.
