An emergency lighting system is only effective if it works when it's called upon. Regular maintenance is essential for confirming that batteries, luminaires and control equipment remain in good working order, allowing occupants to evacuate safely if normal lighting is lost. Proactive inspections also help uncover hidden faults before they become a risk, supporting compliance with BS 5266 and giving responsible persons greater confidence in their fire safety arrangements.
