Emergency Lighting Warwick
When the power goes out, visibility can mean the difference between calm evacuation and chaos. Emergency and exit lighting systems provide vital illumination that guides people to safety during fires, power failures, or other emergencies. To keep them ready when you need them most, they must be routinely tested, inspected, and maintained by qualified professionals.
Warwick, Rhode Island, is known for its coastal setting, historic neighborhoods, and busy waterfronts along Narragansett Bay. The temperate coastal climate brings humid summers and nor’easters in winter, so fire safety must account for salt‑air corrosion of equipment, variable winds that can spread flames near marinas, and seasonal vegetation drying that raises brush fire risk on the city’s fringes.
Residents and businesses should prioritize working smoke and CO detectors, regular heater and chimney maintenance, and defensible space around waterfront properties and wooded lots. Commercial sites benefit from inspected sprinkler systems, clear evacuation routes, and coordination with Warwick Fire Department and local fire marshals for inspections and emergency planning.

Emergency & Exit Light Installation
Every building’s layout and occupancy determine where emergency and exit lights should be installed. Our team designs and installs lighting systems that provide clear, reliable visibility along all exit routes, stairwells, corridors, and gathering areas.
We work with LED and battery-backed lighting systems from leading manufacturers to ensure durability, long battery life, and low maintenance costs. Whether you’re outfitting a new facility or upgrading an older system, 48 Fire Protection makes sure your installation meets both code and performance expectations.
Inspection & Testing
Routine inspection and testing aren’t just recommended—they’re required by NFPA 101. We handle both monthly and annual testing to ensure every fixture performs exactly as it should in an emergency.
Our process includes:
- Visual inspection: Checking for visible damage, secure mounting, and illumination coverage.
- Physical inspection: Testing internal batteries, bulbs, and circuitry under simulated power-loss conditions.
- 30-second monthly test: Required short test to confirm operation on battery backup.
- 90-minute annual test: Full discharge test ensuring lights maintain illumination for the mandated duration.
Each inspection includes digital recordkeeping, detailed reports for AHJ or insurance documentation, and proactive reminders before your next scheduled test.
Compliance You Can Count On
Even high-quality emergency lighting systems can degrade over time. Batteries lose capacity, LEDs dim, and wiring can corrode. Our technicians carry a full inventory of replacement parts and batteries—so most issues can be resolved during the same visit.
We offer on-site recharging, sealed lead acid and Ni-Cad battery replacement, and bulb or LED module upgrades. For systems that are beyond repair, we can retrofit new lighting to existing mounts, minimizing downtime and cost.
