Replace-a-Front for Emergency Escape Lighting Fascia - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Maintain the functionality and visibility of emergency escape lighting systems without replacing the entire unit. It serves as the front panel of the lighting fixture, typically made of 2mm opaque acrylic, which allows the light to shine through while protecting internal components. By using a replaceable front, organisations can ensure that escape lighting remains clear, unobstructed, and fully operational, which is critical for safe evacuation during power outages, fire alarms, or other emergencies.

You should use this replaceable front on all emergency escape lighting fixtures where the original fascia is damaged, discoloured, or no longer allows adequate light transmission. Common locations include corridors, stairwells, exit routes, assembly areas, and other parts of buildings where emergency lighting is required to guide occupants safely to exits. Regular maintenance and replacement ensure that all escape routes remain clearly illuminated and compliant with safety regulations.

The 2mm opaque acrylic material is designed to diffuse light evenly while protecting the internal lighting components from dust, debris, and minor impacts. Its durable construction ensures longevity while allowing enough light to pass through so that exit paths are visible even during low-light conditions. By replacing only the front fascia, maintenance is simplified, cost-effective, and avoids the need to replace the entire emergency light unit.

Overall, a Replace-a-Front for Emergency Escape Lighting Fascia is an essential maintenance accessory for ensuring safe evacuation routes. By keeping emergency lighting clear, visible, and fully operational, it supports compliance with safety standards, enhances occupant safety, and contributes to a well-maintained and reliable building safety system.
