Maintaining emergency lighting
To ensure that your emergency lighting is safe and compliant with the law, it is important to make sure that you perform regular maintenance throughout the year. Through this, you can identify issues and faults that require attendance.

Visually check the emergency lighting is working and log any faults. For any major or dangerous faults, contact our electricians.
Monthly
Check luminaires for any signs of damage, briefly check lights work in an emergency and correct any issues as soon as possible.
Yearly
You will need to invest in yearly checks and inspections to ensure you comply with BS 5266, and any issues must be rectified immediately.
Annual emergency light testing
As is the case with many electrical appliances and systems in a commercial property, you will need to have annual testing for your emergency lighting to ensure that they are compliant with regulations and provide a safe passage. An annual test must be booked in with a trained professional, and it will last for 3 hours. The test will monitor the system’s functionality and light level for the duration of the 3 hours. You will then be given a log of any faults that have been found during the test, which you must act upon immediately to resolve.
When working with Heath Electrical Services for your annual tests, you will be provided with a thorough service. The team can help to repair any faults that are found to ensure that your emergency lighting is back up and running safely and efficiently in no time.
