Nationwide Emergency Lighting Testing

Emergency Lighting Testing Covering the UK

Emergency lights need enough battery power to illuminate escape routes during a mains failure. Our nationwide emergency lighting testing service checks whether your fittings stay lit throughout a three-hour discharge test.

You'll receive certification and a full report after your visit, including details of any faults identified. If your fire alarm service is also due, we can arrange both during the same appointment.

Testing Emergency Lighting for Three-Hour Battery Performance

A light switching on during a brief check confirms that it responds to a power failure. Annual testing establishes whether its battery can keep it running for its full rated duration, commonly three hours.

Our engineer checks your emergency lights throughout the three-hour discharge test and records any fittings that fail. The results help you identify batteries or lights that need attention and arrange the necessary work.

Emergency Lighting Test Reports & Certification

Your full report documents the emergency lighting testing completed and highlights any faults found. Together with your certification, it provides a record of the visit to keep with your fire safety log book.

Where a fitting fails, you'll have the information needed to arrange further action. We may be able to fix the fault there and then, but if not, our Servicing Team are on hand to discuss remedial work and confirm any additional costs before repairs are booked.

Monthly Emergency Lighting Checks Between Annual Tests

Monthly emergency lighting checks confirm that each fitting switches on when the normal power supply fails. These short functional tests form part of your routine between our annual full-duration tests.

A suitably trained member of your team can carry out the monthly checks and record the results in your fire safety log book. Our guide to testing emergency lighting systems explains the process.
