Emergency lighting for property managers. All properties, one logbook.
Property managers look after dozens of buildings – high-rises, residential complexes with car parks, mixed-use buildings. Each has different systems, deadlines and contractors. We bring it into one system: maintenance of every property from one source, every test digital, battery replacement included.
In ordinary residential buildings safety lighting is usually not required. It is different in high-rises – German high-rise guidelines require safety lighting –, in enclosed large car parks under the garage regulations and in commercial parts of mixed-use buildings. Where a system exists, the operator must test it regularly and document the tests; this duty lies with the owner or managing agent.
What applies?
- High-rises: safety lighting under the high-rise guidelines
- Enclosed large car parks over 1,000 m²: safety lighting under garage regulations
- Commercial parts (shops, practices, offices): requirements of each use
- Monthly and annual tests of existing systems with a logbook
- Clear allocation of operator duties between owner, manager and contractor
- Overview of all properties: deadlines, defects, battery age
This describes typical requirements, using Germany as the reference. What applies to your building depends on the building permit, fire safety concept, risk assessment and national or regional rules – exactly what we check during the free on-site survey.
Common mistakes
Different contractors, paper logbooks, unclear deadlines – nobody has an overview.
Luminaires eventually flash red – or stay dark in an emergency.
After an incident, the insurer's first question is about the logbook.
How we make it easy
We survey the building, escape routes and existing system and create a standard-compliant emergency lighting design – free and non-binding.
Exit sign, escape route and recessed luminaires plus emergency drivers – with self-test and LiFePO4 battery.
Every test documented digitally, deadlines monitored automatically – ready to show at any inspection.
Annual on-site inspection, all batteries replaced in year 5–6 and repairs – predictable costs instead of surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Do residential buildings need emergency lighting?
Ordinary residential buildings usually not. In Germany, high-rises (floor of a habitable room more than 22 m above ground) require safety lighting under the high-rise guidelines, as do enclosed large car parks under the garage regulations.
Who is responsible for testing?
The operator – the owner or owners' association, usually represented by the property manager. Testing can be delegated to a specialist; supervision remains with the operator.
Can you take over many properties at once?
Yes. Every property is surveyed on site and set up in the digital logbook. You see the status of all systems, deadlines and defects in one app.
What does maintenance cost per property?
That depends on the number and type of luminaires and the condition of the system. After the free on-site survey you get a quote per property – with annual inspection, battery replacement in year 5–6 and repairs included.
Is stairwell emergency lighting worth it without an obligation?
Often, yes: in a power cut the stairwell stays usable, especially for older residents. Compact self-test emergency lights can be retrofitted with little effort.
