Expert Emergency Lighting Maintenance for Gallery Buildings

Visitors may be unfamiliar with the building and could be spread across different exhibition spaces. Emergency lighting helps provide visibility along escape routes and in relevant areas if normal lighting fails.

Requirements depend on the building and its fire risk assessment. Emergency lighting may be required in exhibition areas, corridors, stairways, entrance spaces, public areas and other parts of an escape route.

Monthly function tests should be carried out, alongside an annual full-duration discharge test lasting three hours. These checks help confirm that the emergency lighting system and its backup batteries remain capable of operating correctly.

Where practical, yes. We understand that galleries have exhibitions, events and visitor schedules to consider, so we'll work with your team to identify suitable maintenance times and minimise disruption.

Our engineers work carefully within gallery environments and take account of the need to protect exhibition spaces and collections while carrying out the required maintenance.

Any faults or concerns will be clearly documented, with practical recommendations provided where remedial work is required. This gives your facilities team a clear understanding of the next steps.
