Commercial emergency lighting and exit sign installation, testing, and certification. Monthly & annual service across Ontario. Fully code-compliant.
Emergency lighting and illuminated exit signs are the last line of defense in a real evacuation. They run on battery backup. Which means the batteries need to be tested, replaced, and certified on a schedule that most building owners don't realize exists until an inspector shows up.
Boss Fire installs, services, and certifies the full stack: LED emergency lights, running-man exit signs, stairwell lighting, and photoluminescent signage where code allows.
Monthly 30-second functional tests. Annual 90-minute load tests. We can take these over or train your team to do them in-house. Either way, we document everything.
Long-life LED replacements for legacy incandescent units. Higher output, lower maintenance.
Individual units with built-in rechargeable batteries. Most common in small-to-mid commercial.
Single battery bank powers all emergency lighting. Common in high-rises and hospitals.
Illuminated running-man signs at every exit and along egress paths. Annual certification required.
Glow-in-the-dark signage. No batteries, no wiring. Permitted by code in specific egress situations.
Continuously-illuminated stairwell fixtures are required in most high-rise and multi-storey buildings.
Under CAN/ULC-S1000 and the Ontario Fire Code, emergency lighting requires a 30-second functional test monthly and a 90-minute full-duration load test annually. Most building owners don't realize the monthly test is required. Boss Fire can train your staff or take it over entirely.
Typical sealed lead-acid batteries last 3-5 years; newer lithium and NiMH batteries last 5-7 years. The annual 90-minute load test is designed to catch batteries that are degrading before they fail in a real emergency.
In most commercial occupancies, yes. Running-man exit signs must be internally illuminated (LED) with battery backup. Photoluminescent signs are permitted in some specific situations but not as a universal replacement. Boss Fire can audit your property and specify the right solution.
We perform the 90-minute load test on every fixture, replace any failed batteries or lamps on the spot, verify coverage along all egress paths, update the tag on each fixture, and issue a certification report for your insurance and inspection records.
Free on-site assessment across the GTA. No charge, no pressure. Just a clear plan and a single point of contact for every fire system on site.
