Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting is required in all premises where people are employed. It is a Life Safety System and is required to assist the occupants in the event of an emergency. It will assist in the evacuation of premises in the event of power failure. It is a mandatory requirement to be installed where artificial lighting is installed. Remember, Emergency Lighting is designed to help save lives.
Most traditional emergency lighting systems are split into “zones” to enable essential maintenance to take place without isolating the entire lighting system. Like all systems that employ electronic components to function properly, lack of planned maintenance can lead to failure – and ultimately disaster.
Emergency lighting testing involves the periodic test and inspection of all key components within the system. This includes a functionality test of key switches, batteries, luminaries and control equipment.
