Emergency Lights

Often forming part of modern lighting installations, emergency escape lights are placed strategically throughout a building to illuminate safe evacuation in the event of a power failure.   Our design team at LG Building Contractors can advise you on the correct type and location of emergency luminaires to form part of your overall fire strategy.

Maintaining your emergency lighting units is important to ensure that lighting tubes are actually working and that the back-up battery is capable to last the full duration required by the standards. The “responsible person” of a business or organisation ensures that the periodic checks are carried out and documented in a fire safety logbook. Below we have provided an overview of the testing procedure and testing frequencies.

Standards BS 5266-8:2004 and BS EN 50172:2004 describe the testing of emergency lighting units.

Monthly

Switch off the mains power supply to the lighting unit. Often, a separate switch with a ‘fish key’ is installed allowing the testing of emergency lights without having to switch off all power. Walk past all emergency lights to ensure they are working. Note any defects and get repaired immediately. Record your results in your fire safety logbook.

Yearly

Switch off the mains power supply to the lighting unit. Leave the units illuminated for the rated period (usually three hours). The lights should be on for the whole period. If lights fail within this time, replace the back-up battery.
