FAQs – Emergency Lighting
What is emergency lighting?
Emergency lighting is a battery-backed lighting system that activates automatically when the normal power supply fails. It illuminates escape routes, exit doors, and safety signs to help building occupants evacuate safely.
How often should emergency lighting be tested?
Emergency lighting should be tested monthly with a brief functional test (flick test) and annually with a full three-hour duration test. All test results must be recorded in a logbook for compliance purposes.
Is emergency lighting a legal requirement?
Yes, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all non-domestic premises must have adequate emergency lighting to ensure safe evacuation. The specific requirements depend on the size and use of the building.
What types of emergency lighting are available?
The main types include maintained (always on), non-maintained (only activates during power failure), and sustained (has both normal and emergency functions). We’ll recommend the right type based on your premises and usage.
Can you upgrade my existing emergency lighting?
Yes, we can assess your current system and recommend upgrades to LED emergency lighting, which offers longer battery life, reduced maintenance, and improved energy efficiency while meeting all current standards.
