Emergency lighting is designed to operate instantly when mains power is interrupted, giving people the visibility they need to evacuate safely. Because these systems are rarely used in day-to-day operations, hidden faults can easily go unnoticed without routine maintenance. Regular inspection and testing help confirm that batteries, luminaires and control equipment remain in excellent working order, reducing risk and supporting compliance with BS 5266.

If you're responsible for emergency lighting within your building, understanding how maintenance works can help you keep your premises safe and compliant. Below are answers to some of the questions we hear most often.
1. Why is emergency lighting maintenance important even if the system appears to be working?
Emergency lighting is designed to operate only during a loss of mains power, so faults aren't always obvious during normal use. Routine maintenance helps uncover hidden issues before they affect the system's performance during an emergency.
2. How often should emergency lighting be professionally tested?
BS 5266 recommends monthly function testing and an annual three-hour full-duration discharge test. Together, these inspections help verify that your emergency lighting system remains reliable and ready for use.
3. What do your engineers check during maintenance?
We inspect emergency luminaires, batteries, charging equipment and associated control systems, complete the necessary testing, record the results and identify any faults or deterioration that require attention.
4. Do you maintain emergency lighting in listed and older buildings?
Yes. Our engineers work in a wide variety of properties, including historic buildings, modern offices, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, apartment developments and retail premises, adapting our maintenance approach to suit each environment.
5. What happens if the system doesn't pass its inspection?
If defects are identified, we'll explain exactly what has been found and provide practical recommendations to help restore the emergency lighting system to full operational condition.
