Emergency Light Testing
Thank you.
One of our friendly team will get back to you as soon as possible.
What we do
It’s actually a life safety system and is required to assist the people in case there is an emergency. It will assist in the evacuation of a building in the event of power failure. It is a mandatory requirement to be installed where artificial lighting is installed. Keep in mind, emergency lighting is designed to help save lives.
For more information please contact us or telephone us directly.
Regulations on testing are covered by BS 5266-1, which details the requirements for emergency lighting. Those requirements state that emergency lighting systems should be periodically tested and inspected to ensure that all luminaires operate correctly in power loss situations.
Compliance with BS 5266-1 will guarantee you meet your statutory requirements, but only if the system is fully operating.
The monthly check should be for visible signs of damage to fittings and a quick operational test, that is to say the light be disconnected from the power source.
If the device does not light, or the lamps are dim, or if it fails to light at full brilliance for 30 seconds, the unit should be serviced, repaired, or replaced, with any issues once again being recorded in a site log.
The annual test requires that the power actually be interrupted to the emergency lighting unit, by unplugging it, throwing a circuit breaker, or other safe means, so no line power reaches it.
The unit must provide light of normal brilliance for a full 3 hours, or it should be serviced or replaced.
In using a specialist company with competent fully trained staff to undertake your annual check you are ensuring that your installation is up to date and continues to comply with current legislation.
The log book should record the date of each inspection and test, date and details of any defects, action taken, and detail any changes made to the installation.

What customers say
Really happy with the service we received when we needed an emergency electrician when our power was out. Very quick and friendly service came within an hour of call out and fixed our switch board straight away. Would highly recommend!
Really pleased with the way my Consumer unit replacement went! Very professional, knowledgeable and responsive company! I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Fantastic service! I would 100% recommend Lee and his team to others. I'm really pleased with my security lighting, you've all done a great job. Thank you!
On time good at their job. Nice friendly guys
Used Lee a number of times for some projects. Including change of the board, rewiring an oven, external lighting and light faults. Always on time, polite and friendly lads. Recommend to others
Rang Lee up at ProElec and explained the job, as the lady is 92, and partially sighted. They came the next day, as they are local to us. Absolutely fine, job done and so grateful for the speedy response. Would recommend to all.
Top quality service from Lee. Instalation of the new main panel and bathroom light fittings was completed without any issues and he made sure safe working practices were followed throughout the job. Everything was explained to me regarding changes and upgrades so that I understood it all properly, and they left the work areas clean and tidy. Friendly and professional, thank you.
Lee and Bailey did a great job setting up the electrics at our new house. Very friendly, communicative and professional. Fine work and highly recommended.
