At Kimty, we provide reliable and SCDF-compliant emergency light Singapore solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. With decades of experience in the fire protection industry, we offer a complete one-stop service for the design, supply, installation, testing, and maintenance of exit and emergency lights across Singapore.
Our experienced technicians support businesses with proper emergency lighting systems that comply with Singapore Civil Defence Force requirements, including FSSD and QP submissions. From illuminated exit sign systems to directional emergency lighting and fire safety signs, we help ensure buildings are prepared for emergencies and safe evacuation procedures.
During fires, power failures, or emergency situations, properly installed emergency exits signs and emergency lighting systems play a critical role in guiding occupants safely out of a building. These systems are designed to provide clear visibility along evacuation routes, helping reduce panic and confusion during emergencies.
Emergency lighting systems are commonly installed in:
Commercial offices
Warehouses
Emergency lights and safety signs are among the most important fire safety features within a building. While only trained individuals may be able to operate firefighting equipment effectively, every occupant depends on clearly visible emergency exits signs to reach safety during emergencies.
Proper emergency lighting systems help:
Because of their importance, there are strict regulations governing the placement and operation of exit and emergency lights in Singapore buildings.
According to Singapore Civil Defence Force fire safety regulations, emergency lighting and exit sign systems must be installed in strategic locations throughout buildings to support safe evacuation.
The Fire Code requires:
Directional emergency exits signs are especially important in large open floor layouts, staircases, warehouses, and buildings with complex evacuation pathways.
At Kimty, we help businesses implement compliant emergency light systems in Singapore that align with Singapore fire safety standards and building requirements.
Emergency lighting and exit signs in Singapore are installed to SS 563, which the SCDF Fire Code 2023 references at clause 8. Four requirements decide whether an installation passes inspection:
1. Exit lighting must activate within 1 second of the normal lighting supply failing.
2. Emergency lighting must sustain illumination for a minimum of 1 hour on battery.
3. Every exit and emergency luminaire must be of a type approved under SS 563.
4. Directional signage is required in long corridors, large open floor plates and anywhere an exit is not directly visible from the occupied area. Emergency lighting is also required in lift cars, generator rooms and fire pump rooms so that maintenance personnel can evacuate safely
Emergency lights and exit signs can be bought individually from suppliers and online retailers, and for a single replacement fitting that is often the sensible route. A compliant building system is a different task. It requires the correct number and placement of luminaires for the evacuation route, verified activation and duration testing, documentation, and where applicable FSSD and QP submission.
KIMTY supplies individual fittings through our shop and also designs, installs, tests and certifies complete systems. If you know the exact product you need, the shop is the faster route. If you need the installation to pass inspection, start with a site assessment.
Some building owners consider self-managing emergency light installation to reduce costs. However, non-compliant installation can lead to serious consequences that far outweigh any short-term savings.
Improper installation of emergency lighting systems can result in failed SCDF inspections, penalty notices, or lighting that does not operate during an actual evacuation. Engaging a certified contractor ensures your exit and emergency lighting is installed correctly, documented properly, and maintained so that it remains operational when it is needed.
Our technicians visit your premises to evaluate the building layout, evacuation routes, existing lighting conditions, and compliance gaps. This allows us to recommend the most effective placement strategy for exit signs and emergency lights.
Based on the site assessment, we design a compliant emergency lighting layout that meets SCDF Fire Code requirements. This includes determining the type, quantity, and positioning of exit signs, directional lights, and emergency twin spot lights.
We supply and professionally install all emergency lighting products, including LED exit sign systems, battery backup systems, directional signage, and photoluminescent safety signs. All work is carried out by our trained technicians with minimal disruption to your operations.
Once installed, all systems are thoroughly tested to verify correct activation during power failures, adequate illumination levels, and proper battery backup performance.
Where required, we assist with relevant documentation, FSSD submissions, and Qualified Person (QP) coordination to support regulatory compliance and approval.
We offer scheduled preventive maintenance and inspection services to keep your emergency lighting systems compliant, functional, and reliable over the long term.
We follow a structured, end-to-end process to ensure every emergency lighting installation is safe, compliant, and built for long-term reliability.
We provide comprehensive services for exit and emergency lights throughout Singapore.
Professional installation of emergency lighting systems for commercial and industrial properties.
Supply and replacement of illuminated LED exit sign systems designed for long-term reliability.
Routine inspection and testing to ensure emergency lights function correctly during power failures.
Scheduled maintenance helps ensure your exit light Singapore systems remain compliant and operational.
Diagnosis and repair of faulty emergency lights, damaged safety signs, or malfunctioning battery backup systems.
We assist businesses with relevant documentation and compliance support for fire safety requirements.
Buildings that need rising main work at the same time can arrange it on one schedule, since wet and dry riser systems in Singapore are certified through the same QP and FSSD route.
Clear and visible safety signs are essential during emergency situations. Properly installed signage helps occupants identify:
Effective signage for fire extinguisher locations can also help trained personnel quickly locate firefighting equipment during emergencies, reducing response time and improving fire safety management.
Safety signage in Singapore is specified to SS 508, which governs the shape, colour and graphical symbols used for safety signs, and photoluminescent signage is specified to SS 653. Green with a white pictogram indicates a safe condition such as an exit route or assembly point. Red indicates fire equipment and prohibition. Getting the colour convention wrong is a common defect, because a sign that is legible but non-conforming still fails inspection.
Over time, emergency lighting systems may experience battery degradation, reduced illumination, wiring faults, or component failures. Without regular testing and maintenance, emergency lights may fail during critical situations.
Routine servicing helps:
Our technicians provide routine maintenance and inspection services to keep your emergency light in Singapore operating efficiently.
The cost of emergency lighting installation in Singapore varies depending on the building type, size, number of exit signs and lights required, and the level of compliance documentation needed.
Factors that affect pricing include:
– Total number of exit signs and emergency lights required
– Building size and complexity of evacuation routes
– Type of products selected (LED exit signs, twin spot lights, photoluminescent signs)
– Whether FSSD or QP submission support is required
– Scope of ongoing maintenance services
Rather than publishing fixed rates that may not reflect your actual requirements, we prefer to provide an accurate quotation based on a proper site assessment. This ensures you receive the right solution at a fair and transparent price, with no unnecessary items included.
Under Singapore fire safety regulations, emergency lighting systems should undergo routine functional testing at regular intervals, typically monthly for basic function checks and annually for full battery discharge testing. Kimty’s maintenance plans are structured to meet these requirements and keep your systems compliant.
If an SCDF inspection finds non-compliant or faulty emergency lighting, the building owner may receive a rectification notice and be required to make corrections within a specified timeframe. Repeated or serious non-compliance can result in penalties. Engaging Kimty to carry out proper installation and maintenance significantly reduces the risk of inspection failures.
Most emergency lighting batteries have a lifespan of between three to five years, depending on usage, environment, and maintenance history. Regular testing helps identify battery degradation early so replacements can be scheduled before systems fail during an actual emergency.
For certain building types and scopes of work, a Qualified Person submission may be required under Singapore’s Fire Code. Our team can advise whether your project requires QP involvement and assist with the necessary documentation and submission process.
Yes. Our technicians are experienced in inspecting, testing, and maintaining emergency lighting systems regardless of the original installer. We can assess the condition of your existing systems and recommend any necessary repairs or upgrades to restore compliance.
Installation timelines depend on the size of the premises and the number of units required. Most standard commercial installations are completed within one to two working days. Our team will provide an estimated timeline during the site assessment stage.
Singapore requires emergency lighting and exit signs to comply with SS 563 as referenced in the SCDF Fire Code 2023. In practice that means exit lighting activating within 1 second of a mains failure, emergency lighting sustaining illumination for at least 1 hour on battery backup, approved luminaire types, illuminated signs above exits, and directional signage wherever an exit is not directly visible. Emergency lighting is also required in lift cars, generator rooms and fire pump rooms.
Ensure your building is equipped with reliable and compliant exit light Singapore systems today. Whether you require new emergency lighting installation, replacement of outdated exit sign systems, or routine maintenance for existing exit and emergency lights, Kimty is ready to help.
