Commercial Emergency Light Testing

In any commercial building, safety should always be a top priority. This is especially true in emergency situations where the lives and well-being of employees, customers, and visitors are at risk. In such cases, having proper emergency lighting can make all the difference.

Emergency lighting refers to the backup lighting system that activates during a power outage or emergency situation. It provides illumination and visibility in areas where normal lighting is no longer available. This is extremely important in commercial spaces as it allows people to safely evacuate the building in case of a fire, natural disaster, or any other type of life-threatening situation. Having reliable emergency lighting systems in place not only ensures the safety of individuals but also helps businesses comply with legal requirements. In the UK, emergency lighting is mandatory for all commercial buildings and failing to install or maintain these systems can result in hefty fines.

Why Choose Our Emergency Lighting Installation Services?

Following the emergency lighting regulations can be complex since different amounts of illumination and equipment are required for different rooms. For example, a building with an emergency exit two metres wide should provide lighting at a floor level of 1 lux illuminance. In high-risk areas, such as atriums or reception areas, emergency lighting should have an illuminance of 15. In contrast, hallways require a lower lighting level.

Our engineers understand this technical jargon and will be able to advise you on the appropriate emergency lighting installation for your premises. You will require different kinds of lights, emergency exit signs and escape roots. Due to this, our team of experienced electricians will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your property to identify the most suitable locations for installing lights and signals, such as fire exit signs. We will work closely with you to develop a customised plan that best meets your requirements and budget. Once we have agreed on a plan, we will proceed with the installation of all necessary devices and conduct thorough testing of the system to ensure it is functioning optimally. You can trust us to deliver high-quality workmanship and exceptional customer service throughout the entire process.

Our team of emergency light testing engineers will complete all the required documentation for your records. We guarantee that you will be fully compliant with light testing regulations and ensure that everything, from illuminance levels to battery life, is up to standard.

Emergency Light Testing Maintenance

According to UK fire safety legislation, it is mandatory for emergency lighting systems to undergo a full test once a year, which includes a thorough inspection of all components, functionality, and backup power. Additionally, the lighting system must be “flick-tested” at least once a month to ensure that it is working correctly and that the bulbs are not nearing the end of their lifespan. This level of testing helps to ensure that in the event of a disaster, the lighting system will provide sufficient illumination to enable safe evacuation.

Our team of experienced engineers can conduct comprehensive testing and inspection of all emergency exit signs, including those for fire exit signs, as well as various lighting systems. This includes rigorous analysis of the operational effectiveness and durability of these critical safety features, ensuring that they meet all relevant safety standards and regulations. We can also flick-test your lighting systems once a month if needed.

Why is emergency light testing important?

Emergency light testing is crucial for ensuring the safety of building occupants during an emergency. Properly functioning emergency lighting provides visibility and guidance, helping people evacuate safely in case of power failure, fire, or other emergencies.

How often should emergency light testing be conducted?

Emergency lighting should be tested monthly by performing a quick function test, and annually by conducting a full duration test, typically lasting 3 hours. Regulations may vary by location, so always check local requirements.

How long does emergency light testing take?

A monthly function test takes just a few minutes per light, while an annual full duration test can take several hours, depending on the number of lights and their rated duration. The exact time will depend on the size and layout of the building.

The team have done an excellent job including putting all the carpets back in place, tidying up, and vacuuming everywhere, and even shampooing the carpets were required to bring them back to their original condition. He and his team are hard-working, working 8 am till 6 pm every day to complete the job.
