Emergency Lighting FAQs
What is emergency lighting, and why is it important?
Emergency lighting is a battery-backed system that lights up escape routes and helps people evacuate safely. These systems come in different shapes and sizes. They operate in two modes: “Maintained,” where the light is always on, and “Non Maintained,” which activates only during a power outage. Emergency lighting reduces the risk of accidents and ensures timely evacuations during emergencies.
What types of buildings require emergency lighting?
Emergency lighting and signage are essential for all building types, including residential, commercial, industrial, and public facilities. Building regulations mandate the installation of emergency lighting to safeguard occupants during power failures or emergencies.
How often should emergency lighting be tested and maintained?
Regular testing and maintenance are key to ensuring emergency lighting works when needed. UK fire safety laws require monthly tests, known as “flick tests.” Professionals conduct annual full-duration tests to ensure reliability. Routine emergency lighting maintenance involves checking for defects, replacing batteries, and ensuring compliance with safety standards.
What are the different types of emergency lighting products available?
There are various emergency lighting products, including exit signs, bulkhead lights, LED units, and spotlight fixtures. Each product serves a specific role. Some lights mark escape routes, while others provide illumination. They also highlight important areas, like fire alarm call points.
Emergency lighting systems can be in “Maintained” or “Non Maintained” modes. In “Maintained” mode, the lights stay on continuously.
If the power goes out, the battery backup takes over. Non Maintained lighting only turns on when the power is removed. When the power is restored, the batteries recharge automatically.
How can I ensure my emergency lighting is compliant with regulations?
To ensure compliance, regularly consult with safety professionals who can assess your emergency lighting systems. We offer expert advice and inspections to ensure your emergency signage and lighting meet all necessary regulations and standards.
What should I do if my emergency lights are not working?
If your emergency lights are not functioning, it’s vital to contact a professional immediately. They can diagnose issues, perform repairs, and test your emergency lighting installation to ensure it operates correctly and meets safety regulations.
How long does emergency lighting last during a power outage?
Most emergency lighting systems are designed to last at least three hours during a power outage, allowing ample time for a safe evacuation. However, the exact duration may vary based on the type of system and its battery capacity.
