Emergency and exit lights guide people to safety during a power outage, fire or other emergency. They only do their job if the batteries hold charge and the lamps work, which is why regular emergency lighting testing matters.
Hudson Electrical installs new emergency and exit lights, replaces failed fittings and carries out scheduled testing in line with AS/NZS 2293. We record the results in a logbook so building owners and managers have clear evidence that the system has been checked.
Emergency and exit lighting is required in many types of buildings. We work with:
Six-monthly testing checks that each fitting switches to battery power and stays lit for the required duration. A typical testing visit includes:
Failed fittings can often be repaired or replaced on the same visit.
New buildings, fit-outs and changes to floor layouts often need new emergency and exit lights. We install fittings in the right positions to light exit paths and stairways, then test the system once complete.
Modern LED emergency fittings use less power and generally last longer than older fluorescent models. Upgrading an older system to LED can reduce the number of failed fittings found at each test. We can replace fittings in stages, starting with those that fail most often, so the upgrade fits your budget and maintenance schedule.
AS/NZS 2293 requires records of emergency lighting tests. A properly maintained logbook shows when each test was done, what was found and what was repaired. This record is often requested by building certifiers, insurers and fire safety assessors.
In NSW, emergency lighting is commonly listed as an essential fire safety measure on a building's annual fire safety statement.
Emergency lighting testing sits alongside other routine compliance tasks. Our test and tag service covers portable appliances and leads. For general electrical work on commercial sites, our commercial electrician team can help. Strata buildings can combine testing with common area maintenance through our strata electrician service.
