Faulty emergency lighting can fail you exactly when it matters most during a fire or power cut. We test, maintain, and certify your emergency lighting to meet BS 5266 standards, so your building stays safe and compliant.
Monthly Functional Test
A quick check to confirm your emergency lights switch to battery power correctly if the mains fail.
Annual Full Duration Drain-Down Test
A full test that runs your emergency lights on battery power for their entire rated duration usually 3 hours to confirm they last as long as required.
Battery & Fitting Inspection
We check every battery and fitting for wear, damage, or weak charge catching problems before they become failures.
Log Book Completion
We record every test and result in your emergency lighting log book, keeping you audit-ready at all times.
Fault Identification & Repair
If we find a fault during testing, we identify it on the spot and carry out the repair quickly. So your system stays compliant.
Compliance Certificate Issued
Once testing is complete, we issue a compliance certificate confirming your emergency lighting meets BS 5266 standards.
What Are Emergency Lights?
Emergency lighting systems are life-saving safety devices designed to activate during power failures or emergency situations. They provide clear visibility of escape routes, helping occupants move safely out of a building while reducing panic and confusion during evacuation.
Maintained Fittings
These lights stay on all the time, just like normal lighting, but switch to battery power if the mains fail.
Non-Maintained Fittings
These lights stay off until the power fails then they switch on automatically using battery backup. Most exit signs work this way.
Combined Luminaires
A single fitting with two lamps, one running on mains power and one on emergency battery power, so both functions are covered in one unit.
High-Risk Task Lighting
We test lighting across escape routes, open areas, and high-risk task zones making sure every part of your building stays safely lit during an emergency.
