Emergency lighting provides essential visibility when normal lighting is unavailable, helping occupants find escape routes and leave a building safely. However, a system that looks perfectly functional during everyday use may still have underlying issues with batteries, fittings or charging equipment. Regular inspection and testing helps identify these problems, keeping emergency lighting dependable while supporting compliance with BS 5266.

Managing emergency lighting involves more than simply checking that the lights switch on. Here are answers to some of the questions that building owners, facilities managers and responsible persons often have.
1. Why can an emergency lighting fault be difficult to notice?
Emergency lighting may only operate during a power failure, so problems with batteries or other components can remain hidden during normal building use. Regular testing helps bring these faults to light before an emergency occurs.
2. What is the usual emergency lighting testing schedule?
Monthly function tests should be carried out, alongside a full-duration discharge test lasting three hours each year. These checks help confirm that the system and its backup power supply remain capable of performing as required.
3. What happens during a Safe I.S. maintenance inspection?
Our engineers examine emergency luminaires, batteries, charging equipment and associated controls, carry out the appropriate tests and document the findings. Any defects or areas requiring attention are clearly reported.
4. Do you maintain emergency lighting in schools and healthcare buildings?
Yes. We work across a wide range of premises, including schools, healthcare facilities, offices, retail units, warehouses, hotels, apartment developments and public buildings.
5. Will you tell us if our system needs repairs?
Yes. If testing reveals a fault or deteriorating component, we'll explain the issue clearly and provide practical recommendations for any remedial work that may be necessary.
