About this deal

High risk task area lighting provides light for the safety of people involved in potentially dangerous processes. This lighting enables proper shut-down procedures to be followed for the safety of the operator and other occupants of a building. Confirmation that the emergency lighting system has been installed in accordance with the relevant regulations and standards. Details of the testing and commissioning carried out on the emergency lighting system, including dates and the results of the tests.

Emergency lighting should be tested monthly in between servicing visits. Here is an example of what an emergency light looks like.Here at the Fire Protection Association, we offer a 5-day Fire Detection, Alarms, and Emergency Lighting training course that provides a comprehensive understanding of systems, legislation, and standards including BS 5266-1 and BS 5839, as well as practical guidance for carrying out installation, commissioning, and maintenance of systems. Find out more here. Details of the emergency lighting system, including its location, components, and the type of system installed. Records of all testing and maintenance carried out on the emergency lighting system, including dates, results, and any faults or issues identified.

UK fire safety legislation states that emergency lighting is required in buildings to provide light if normal lighting fails during a fire. There are different ways to test emergency lighting in the UK, depending on the type of emergency lighting system and the requirements of the relevant regulations and standards. However, the following is a general procedure for testing emergency lighting: Failure of the normal lighting does not necessarily mean that the hazard no longer exists. A hazard may continue long after failure of the normal lighting supply. In such circumstances, high risk task lighting will be required and designed in such a way to ensure illumination is maintained as long as the local hazard continues to exist. All emergency lights have an LED charging light on them. This light is to show there is suitable power supply going to the light and it is charging. Under normal circumstances, this light will be lit to show that the light is charging. If you notice that this light is not on you know there is a problem. There could be a problem with battery or the emergency light itself. You should report this straight away. Testing your Emergency Lighting L SW is the normal mains supply. A normal light switch, or sensor, would usually be on this circuit to enable the end-user to have control over the light fitting in normal operating mode. L SW is always to be wired so that any switching of L PERM will disconnect L SW too, but any switching of L SW will not affect L PERM.

The frequency in which you should get your emergency lighting tested can vary depending on system type (i.e. maintained emergency lighting or non-maintained), but as a general guide, you should aim to get your emergency lighting system tested monthly, in addition to an annual ‘full duration’ test as described in BS 5266-1. It is worth noting that the duration of emergency lighting may vary depending on the specific application. For example, in areas where there is a higher risk to the safety of occupants, such as escape routes, the emergency lighting may need to remain illuminated for a longer period of time. This should be determined through a risk assessment and in accordance with the relevant regulations and standards. Details of any repairs or replacements carried out on the emergency lighting system, including dates and the nature of the work carried out. This depends on the size and complexity of your building and the time it would take to evacuate. The minimum duration for an emergency escape lighting system is one hour. One hour’s duration should only be used if the premises are evacuated immediately on power supply failure and it is not reoccupied until full capacity has been restored to the batteries. Emergency lighting is required in premises to enable occupants to escape safely in an emergency situation. BS 5266-1 states that a building must have adequate illumination to support escape and identify firefighting equipment (or any other fire safety equipment).

When zero voltage is detected at L PERM it is the indication to the emergency module in the light fitting that mains power has been lost and that battery power must now be switched on. Simulate a power failure by either an emergency key switch or by switching off the mains power to the emergency lighting.This performs the same function as a key-switch, isolating the fitting from its permanent live supply and thereby simulating a power failure. It supplies the power that keeps the emergency batteries charged. That’s why it must not be affected by any switching of L SW.
