Expert Emergency Lighting Maintenance for Museums

Museums can contain large numbers of visitors who may be unfamiliar with the building. Emergency lighting helps provide visibility along escape routes and in relevant areas if normal illumination is lost.

The requirements depend on the building's design, use and fire risk assessment. Emergency lighting may be required in exhibition spaces, galleries, corridors, stairways, entrance areas and other relevant parts of an escape route.

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

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

Older and historic buildings can have unusual layouts, construction features or electrical installations that require careful consideration. Our engineers assess the emergency lighting installation in the context of the individual premises.

Any defects or concerns identified during inspection are clearly recorded. We'll explain the issue and provide practical recommendations for remedial action where necessary.
