Emergency lighting must work when it matters most — during a power failure when normal lighting goes out. Regulations require monthly function tests and annual full-duration discharge tests to verify that emergency lights will illuminate escape routes for the required time. Our emergency lighting testing service carries out both monthly and annual tests, records results in a professional logbook, replaces failed batteries and lamps, and provides a compliance certificate suitable for fire risk assessments and insurance requirements.

How It Works

Our Process

01

System Survey

We count and identify every emergency light in your premises — maintained, non-maintained, bulkhead, exit signs and central battery systems — and plan the testing schedule.

02

Monthly Function Testing

We can carry out monthly brief-discharge tests or train your staff to do so. We record results in a professional logbook and identify any failures.

03

Annual Duration Testing

Our electrician isolates mains power and allows each emergency light to discharge fully, verifying it meets the required duration. Batteries and lamps are replaced if they fail.

04

Logbook & Certification

All test results are recorded in a professional logbook. You receive an annual compliance certificate suitable for fire risk assessors, insurers and local authority inspections.

FAQ

Common Questions

How often should emergency lighting be tested?

Monthly function tests (brief discharge) are required. Annual full-duration tests (draining the battery for the rated time, usually 1-3 hours) are mandatory. We can carry out both or train your staff for monthly checks.

What happens if an emergency light fails the test?

We replace the battery or lamp on the spot where possible. For more complex failures like charging circuit faults, we quote for repair and can return promptly to fix the issue.

Do domestic properties need emergency lighting testing?

Purpose-built flats and HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) require emergency lighting with regular testing. Standard domestic properties do not, though shared common areas in tenement blocks often do.
