Product Information

Could anyone explain what i would need to have done to conform, I have a building with 1 key switch in the reception for the Em fitting Test the rest of the Em fittings in the Building are a self maintained type.

Self testing EM lights "do as it says on the tin" they carry out all the required tests without help, they only have timer software, so that means they will carry out all required tests over 12 months but you can not determine when as they have no calender software. Self testing EM lights also have multiple coloured LEDs and a "beeper" and problems or potential problems are indicated by the sequence / colour of the LED's and beeper. The colours/flashes vary according to each manufacturer. A minimum duration of 3 hours should be used for emergency escape lighting if the premises are not evacuated immediately. The 3 hour time frame allows the fire brigade time to work in the event of a fire after all of the building’s occupants have been safely evacuated. How often should my emergency lighting system be tested? Building owners and operators should ensure that their emergency lighting systems meet all applicable codes and regulations, and that they are properly maintained to ensure occupant safety. So...all you require to be BS compliant is a "standard method of isolating the supply to each fitting (to simulate or induce a power fail)" which ideally would probably be a key-switch located next to the normal light switch feeding every maintained EL, Standby lighting enables normal activities within in building to continue in the event of a mains power failure. Standby lighting is not a legal requirement but is a facility that some buildings may need depending on the use and occupancy of the premises.However, some emergency lighting systems may include a key switch as an optional feature. This switch can be used to manually activate or deactivate the emergency lighting system, or to switch between different modes of operation. During regular testing of emergency lighting, the power supply to the lighting system is typically switched off manually. This simulates a power outage or emergency situation and triggers the emergency lighting to activate automatically. Testing emergency lighting is an important aspect of building safety and maintenance. These lights are designed to illuminate exit paths and ensure safe evacuation in the event of a power outage or emergency situation. Regular testing is essential to ensure that they are in proper working condition when needed. 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. If an emergency lighting system includes a key switch, it may be used to manually activate the system during testing, rather than shutting off the power supply. However, this is not typically necessary or required for basic testing of the emergency lighting system.

They are simple to use and help save time and money when conducting emergency lighting system tests. Does emergency lighting need a key switch for testing? Test switches allow engineers or maintenance personnel to simulate power failures or other emergencies to test the emergency lighting system's effectiveness. It's important to note that specific testing procedures may vary depending on the type of emergency lighting system in your building. The majority of UK buildings will have their emergency lights wired on the same circuit as the lighting. For obvious reasons; when the main lights go out you want the emergency lights on. Hopefully they will be connected to a test key switch, like these Who can test emergency lights Each emergency lighting system should have an appropriate means for simulating failure of the normal supply for test purposes (e.g. manual isolatingbdevice or automatic testing).Emergency lighting is typically required in all public buildings, including schools, hospitals, offices, and other commercial and industrial buildings. Due to emergency light systems being so important in the process of protecting building occupants and highlighting escape routes and firefighting equipment, it is essential that emergency escape lighting is regularly tested and maintained to ensure that in the event of a failure of mains power, the lighting works correctly and escape routes are effectively illuminated (escape route lighting).This advice and guidance article provides advice on how often you should get your emergency lighting tested, and how to test your emergency lighting. How often should emergency lighting be tested?

My local electrician is suggesting the installation of a new single circuit to power all emergency lighting units within the communal area of my flats. The new single circuit would allow the testing of mains power failure to all units via a single key switch.These tests are critical for ensuring that emergency lighting systems are functioning correctly and are ready to activate in the event of an emergency.

Due to the efficiency and dependability of our outstanding equipment, it has been incorporated in a range of high profile locations - so you can rest assured that our alarms won't let you down. For the annual test, the requirements for emergency lighting are to test for a duration of three hours. When doing so, the primary lighting circuit must be switched off and emergency lights left on for three hours in line with BS 5266-1. All luminaires should remain lit throughout this period. Any defects should be reported and remediated as soon as possible. A competent person should carry out these annual emergency lighting tests and undertake any remedial work needed as a result. These tests may be performed by technicians during a fire alarm service, as this can be done while waiting for the lamps to complete the duration of test. How to test emergency lighting?
