Professional Emergency Lighting Installation & Testing in Greater Manchester

Emergency lighting is a legal requirement in commercial buildings, common parts of residential blocks and places of work under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. In the event of a mains power failure, emergency luminaires illuminate escape routes, exit signage and safety equipment so occupants can safely evacuate.

We install maintained and non-maintained LED emergency bulkheads, illuminated exit signs, twin-spots and integrated downlights. We also fit fish-key test switches so designated premises personnel can carry out routine monthly testing with ease.

We carry out both initial installations and periodic 3-hour duration testing in accordance with BS 5266 standards, providing the inspection certificates and test log records required by fire safety authorities and insurers.

What is Included

  • Installation of maintained and non-maintained LED emergency luminaires and exit signs
  • Fish-key test switches wired to allow routine testing without isolating general power
  • Full 3-hour annual discharge testing of emergency lighting battery backup packs
  • Written inspection and test certificates for compliance and fire risk assessments
  • Rectification and replacement of failed battery packs, tubes and luminaire units
