Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting and emergency escape lighting require regular checks to ensure that all emergency light fittings are in good working order

Weekly tests – to ensure that all indicator lights are working at each emergency fitting – this confirms that there is power to the emergency battery within the fitting

Monthly tests – Otherwise known as ‘flick tests’ – create a power failure usually by a key switch to ensure the emergency lights work when power is isolated

Yearly Tests – 3 – hour test which involves isolating the entire emergency lighting installation, recording all types of emergency fittings and commenting on failures/recommendations
