Fire alarm sounders and beacons

Get early warning with fire alarm sounders and beacons and escape lights

There's nothing like a loud noise or bright flashing light for grabbing your attention. If a fire breaks out in your house or workplace every second counts. Getting the best alarms and beacons can make all the difference between safety and serious consequences.

Are there different types of alarm sounders?

Fire alarms rely on a bell or sounder to make a loud noise when triggered either automatically by sensors in smoke detectors or heat detectors, or activated through manual call/break glass points. The siren is used to alert everyone so that the building can be evacuated quickly and safely.

The alarms can incorporate different tones, sound dispersion patterns and evacuation signals. They can also feature flashing lights or an ultra bright escape light so that the escape route is still lit even if there is no other light.

Experienced, award-winning engineers at Chris Lewis Fire & Security can advise you on the best combination of individual sounders and escape lights, linked systems, and wired and wireless options. So whatever you environment, you're sure of getting the exact system that is right for you.

Constantly up to date with the latest technologies, we can integrate your alarms and sounder with your fire alarms, sprinkler system, fire signage, the rest of your security system and even with smart building control.
