Frequently Asked Questions

Emergency Lighting Testing FAQs

What is emergency lighting testing?

It checks that emergency luminaires operate when the normal lighting supply is interrupted and, for duration tests, continue for the required period.

How often should testing be completed?

The schedule should reflect applicable standards, manufacturer guidance, the fire risk assessment and site arrangements.

Will a full-duration test affect operations?

It may reduce emergency-lighting readiness while batteries recharge, so timing and any necessary precautions should be agreed in advance.

Can you repair failed fittings?

Yes. Suitable repairs or replacement fittings can be quoted following the test.

Do you provide test records?

Yes. Results, defects and recommendations can be documented according to the agreed scope.
