Answers to help you navigate your compliance journey with confidence.

How often does emergency lighting need to be tested by law?

Legally, your system must undergo a brief functional test every month (which can often be managed by a designated on-site building manager) and a comprehensive, full 3-hour discharge test at least once a year by a qualified professional.

What is the difference between Maintained and Non-Maintained emergency lights?

Maintained Lights: These lights operate normally like standard light fixtures when the building is occupied, but switch to battery backup power if the main supply fails. They are common in cinemas, theaters, and public spaces.

Non-Maintained Lights: These lights remain completely off during day-to-day operations. They only turn on automatically when they detect a complete loss of mains power. These are typically used in standard offices and residential communal hallways.

How long should emergency lighting backup batteries last?

By law, standard emergency lighting systems in the UK must be able to stay fully illuminated on battery power for a minimum of 3 hours following a power cut to allow for complete building evacuation and emergency service operations.
