Emergency Lighting FAQs for Waltham Forest
Your Emergency Lighting Maintenance Questions Answered
Knowing when your emergency lighting needs testing and what happens during a maintenance visit can make managing your responsibilities much easier. Here are some useful answers to common questions.
1. What could cause emergency lighting to stop working?
Several issues can affect performance, including ageing batteries, damaged luminaires, charging faults and electrical problems. Regular inspection and testing helps identify these issues before an emergency exposes them.
2. What does the three-hour emergency lighting test demonstrate?
The annual full-duration discharge test checks whether the emergency lighting can operate from its backup power supply for three hours. This helps assess the condition and capacity of the system's batteries.
3. How often should the lights be function tested?
A monthly function test should be carried out to confirm that the emergency luminaires activate correctly when the normal lighting supply is interrupted. These checks form part of an appropriate ongoing maintenance programme.
4. Do you work with commercial and industrial properties?
Yes. We provide maintenance across offices, warehouses, industrial premises, retail units, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, apartment developments and public buildings.
5. What information will we receive after maintenance?
