Emergency lighting batteries typically last 4-5 years with proper battery maintenance, though lifespan factors like usage frequency and environmental conditions can impact this. Regular testing helps maximise their performance.
Yes, emergency lights can be tested remotely through wireless monitoring systems. Modern solutions enable facility managers to conduct automated testing, monitor performance metrics, track battery status and identify potential faults from a central control point. This technology streamlines maintenance by eliminating manual inspections while providing real-time data on system health and compliance status.
Yes, different building layouts require specific emergency lighting types. Maintained emergency lights stay illuminated continuously, non-maintained units activate only during power failures, and combined units serve as regular and emergency lighting. Selection depends on building configuration factors like escape route complexity, open area size, high-risk task zones, ceiling heights and occupancy levels.
Emergency lighting bulbs should be replaced every 3-4 years for optimal performance, with monthly checks during routine maintenance inspections. Regular testing allows for early detection of potential issues before the bulbs reach the end of their expected operational life.
