PROJECT DESCRIPTION: EMERGENCY LIGHT REPLACEMENT – LEHIGH ACRES, FL

Coharbor Electric recently performed an emergency light replacement for a customer in Lehigh Acres, FL. Emergency lighting is a crucial part of any property’s safety system, providing illumination during power outages so occupants can safely exit the building. In this case, the customer’s existing emergency light had stopped working and needed to be replaced as soon as possible. They already had a new fixture on hand, so our team was called to handle the safe removal of the broken light and professional installation of the replacement unit.

WHAT WE DID:

  • Disconnected and removed the broken emergency light that was no longer functioning
  • Installed the customer-supplied emergency light fixture in the same location for seamless coverage
  • Checked and secured all wiring connections to ensure compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC)
  • Verified the backup battery charging system and tested its performance under simulated outage conditions
  • Conducted a full operational test to confirm the new unit would activate during a power loss
  • Cleaned the workspace and made sure the fixture was mounted safely and neatly

THE RESULT:

The property now has a fully functional emergency light fixture, restoring compliance with safety regulations and providing peace of mind to the customer. Emergency and exit lighting are often overlooked until they fail, but they are vital for safety during unexpected outages, fires, or evacuation situations. By handling this replacement promptly, Coharbor Electric helped ensure that the customer’s building is better prepared for emergencies. The new fixture is reliable, easy to maintain, and provides dependable illumination when needed most.
