Emergency lighting plays a critical role in building safety, compliance and occupant confidence.
In response to growing demand for reliable and well-supported emergency lighting solutions, IPD has announced a strategic partnership with RP Group, a globally recognised specialist in emergency lighting technology.
The collaboration marks a significant expansion of IPD’s product and solutions portfolio.
With more than 53 patents, five subject-certified quality standards, and a catalogue of over 3000 products released worldwide, RP Group brings decades of engineering innovation and safety-focused design to the partnership.
“This partnership allows RP Group to combine decades of global innovation with IPD’s established Australian footprint,” said RP Group director of sales for ANZ Frank Ferrara.
“We are adapting a proven European platform to local standards, strengthening market capability and raising the benchmark for emergency lighting performance and reliability in Australia.”
A new standard in emergency lighting
Through this partnership, IPD customers gain access to RP Group’s comprehensive range.
The offering includes central power supply systems (CPS), self-contained luminaires and wireless monitoring solutions, providing flexibility across new builds, refurbishments and system upgrades.
Designed to meet Australian emergency and exit lighting standards, the range focuses on performance, compliance and long-term reliability.
RP Group’s CPS solutions offer a distinctive advantage in the local market by enabling centralised monitoring, simplified testing and streamlined maintenance.
For projects where simplicity is key, self-contained and standalone fittings provide easy drop-in replacements for existing installations. These options make it easier to modernise emergency lighting systems without significant disruption.
For smaller installations or cost-sensitive projects, the Wireless Basic system allows remote oversight via a mobile app. As requirements grow, systems can be scaled to Wireless Professional, supporting larger sites and more advanced monitoring needs.
Solutions for every environment
The emergency lighting portfolio has been engineered to support Australia’s most common commercial and industrial environments.
These include warehouses, education facilities, retail fitouts and commercial buildings. Whether designing a new space or upgrading an existing one, the range delivers dependable operation, compliance confidence and simplified ongoing management.
Importantly, customers are not only accessing globally developed products. Through IPD, they also benefit from local technical support, design assistance, training resources and dedicated after-sales service across Australian projects. This ensures systems are correctly specified, compliant and fully supported throughout their lifecycle.
“We are excited to partner with RP Group, an organisation known globally for its quality, innovation and commitment to safety,” said IPD executive general manager Operations Ras Jayawickrama.
“This collaboration allows us to expand the IPD business into the emergency lighting market and deliver greater value, performance and reliability to our customers across Australia.”

The integrated emergency lighting offering was made available to IPD customers from April 2026, reinforcing both organisations’ shared commitment to raising safety standards and delivering dependable solutions for the Australian market.
