Industrial sites

Industrial buildings (ERT or Work Establishments) require emergency lighting that is robust, waterproof, and easy to maintain, as operational constraints and access to luminaires can be complex. We offer customisable solutions that meet these technical and regulatory demands.

Rugged solutions for industrial environments

Our high-power models (Phare, Cylindrik and Réglette) reduce the number of light points required in rooms with high ceilings. With high protection ratings (IP65 and IK10), they withstand environments exposed to shocks.

We design tailor-made, low-cost parts to facilitate installation and maintenance in technical areas. Monthly inspection of BAES (NF C 71-830) can be risky in difficult-to-access areas. Our addressable Dicube Smart System enables remote supervision, with targeted fault detection and automatic reporting, to ensure compliance with current maintenance standards.

Yes. In France, an industrial site can be classified as an ERP (public building) if it welcomes visitors, clients, or external personnel. In such cases, it must comply with the same safety obligations as any ERP, including emergency evacuation and lighting, as outlined in the June 25, 1980 decree.

Industrial environments are demanding: they may involve dust, vibrations, humidity, chemicals, high ceilings, or ATEX zones. Emergency lighting must be shock-resistant, waterproof, and maintain visibility despite obstacles or smoke. For accessible evacuation, DBR (Balisage Renforcé) units are recommended in areas designed for persons with reduced mobility (PRM), in addition to standard luminaires.

We offer many products for industrial use. For low-ceiling or confined spaces, the COMPACT TRIANGULAIRE models ensure optimal recessed installation. They are also impact-resistant (IK09) and watertight (IP65). For high light output, the CYLINDRIK TECHNIQUE collection is strongly recommended, particularly for large industrial halls or ATEX-rated zones.

Industrial facilities are primarily governed by the French Labour Code, specifically Articles R. 4227-12 to R. 4227-17, which require clearly marked emergency exits. Emergency lighting in these settings must comply with NF EN 60598-2-22, covering the performance and safety standards of emergency luminaires.
