Exit and Emergency Lighting is generally not included in interior specifications, but rather left as an after thought. When services including Emergency and Exit lighting is not considered included within the design, will end up being a distraction within the interior spaces. When a Exit or Emergency light is not considered within a well designed spaces, the evacuation lighting can spoil the interior space. Selected Emergency Lighting can be selected for the space.

Many spaces offer feature walls with coloured finishes or ceilings. Most brands in Australia and New Zealand only offer white or black finishes for Emergency and Exit lighting, ETAP Lighting offer custom paint finishes to alleviate harsh contrasts. We are bound by standards in Australasia for the signage artwork - ASNZ2293. ETAP's signage is plexiglass for great visibity and ultra thin signage.

The K9 mini by ETAP Lighting is the smallest Emergency light in Australasia. This tiny little Emergency can be concealed within timber slat ceilings, hidden in acoustic ceilings or installed into lighting fixtures. The K9 Mini is also offered as a track lighting Emergency product.

Don't be deceived by the small size. This Emergency, like all ETAP products, have LED optics for efficiency and high ceiling ratings. The K9 mini can be mounted into 10m ceilings.

Even in smaller ceilings this can be concealed and hidden. NO ugly suspended Emergencies needed with our products.

By designing the Emergency and Exit lighting within the interiors selections, the end results can be seamless. Exit and Emergency lighting is necessary and unavoidable in public buildings. ETAP Lighting offer a solution that will impede interiors. Emergency Lighting has a vital role to play only when an evacuation is needed. Outside of this power outages the emergency can be concealed. Exit lighting signage is the only section of the light that is regulated to be seen. So by having well designed services within an interior, allows the Emergency lighting to perform without being an eye sore.
