What Is Emergency Lighting Testing?
The emergency lighting test is a controlled procedure to check that your lighting system is functioning correctly in the event of an actual power cut. It requires a simulation test to confirm that your lights will activate their batteries and light up escape routes for a predetermined period.
Under BS 5266-1:2016, the following testing schedule applies:
Types of Emergency Lighting Systems
The type of emergency lighting also depends on the properties, such as layout, use, and population, involved.
Maintained Emergency Lighting
Such lighting fixtures are always on and act both as normal lighting and emergency lighting. They are mainly installed in corridors, stairs, and zones that are continuously occupied, for example, in hospitals and hotels.
Non-Maintained Emergency Lighting
Common fixtures are meant for use during power outage situations only. They are energy-efficient and can be used in workplaces, factories, and offices, since lighting is adequate when functioning.
Combined (Dual-Mode) Systems
Dual mode or combination units perform both duties – staying on during normal operation and then switching to battery mode during a loss of mains power. Ideally suited for larger or mixed-use schemes that require both continuous and standby lighting.
Decorative, LED, and Emergency Lightings
Additionally, we install LED and emergency lighting that complements your building’s aesthetics and stays within code requirements. This type of lighting system is well-known in the hospitality, food, and retail industries where aesthetics and functionality coincide.
What Is the Validity of an Emergency Lighting Certificate?
An emergency lighting certificate is valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
To remain compliant with BS 5266 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, systems must undergo regular testing and renewal every year.
Renewal ensures that all fittings, batteries, and circuits are performing correctly and that your logbook and records remain up to date for inspections or audits.
