We'll typically complete your emergency lighting installation timeline within 1-3 days, depending on your building's size and project phases. We'll work efficiently to minimise disruption while ensuring everything's properly installed to safety standards.
We typically see emergency lighting batteries last 3-4 years with regular maintenance. However, lifespan factors like usage frequency and environmental conditions can impact this. We'll ensure proper maintenance and testing to help your batteries remain operational during their service life.
While we can use remote testing and modern inspection technology to monitor some emergency lighting systems, regular physical checks remain essential to verify performance and compliance with British safety standards.
We recommend replacing emergency lighting bulbs every 4 years as part of regular maintenance, even if they're still working. This proactive approach helps maintain optimal performance and reliable operation when your emergency lighting system is needed most.
Emergency lights are briefly deactivated during routine maintenance and testing procedures. During inspections, technicians simulate power failures to verify the proper operation of backup power systems and illumination functions. This controlled testing process ensures the lights will activate correctly during actual emergencies.
