Confidence in emergency lighting compliance

We help you select compliant emergency products, plan testing and maintain safe systems, so escape routes and key areas stay protected and audits are easier to pass.

Common questions

  • What do I need for emergency lighting compliance?

    Compliant emergency lighting depends on correctly specified products, appropriate coverage of escape routes and key areas, and a testing and maintenance regime. We supply emergency drivers, batteries, kits and standalone products and help you select compatible components. We can explain the options and what information is needed, but the applicable standards, such as BS 5266, and your project requirements must be confirmed for the specific installation.

  • How often does emergency lighting need testing?

    Emergency lighting is typically subject to regular functional and duration testing, with records kept for compliance. The exact regime depends on the system and applicable standards. We can help you specify products that support self-test or automated testing to reduce manual checks and keep records audit-ready. Responsibility for the testing regime and compliance remains with the responsible person on site.

  • Can you help upgrade older emergency systems?

    Yes. We help identify compliant replacements and successor products for ageing emergency gear, including transitions from NiCd or NiMH to modern lithium batteries. We explain compatibility and upgrade routes so systems remain safe and maintainable. Sharing the existing components and luminaires lets us recommend suitable, compatible emergency products for your installation.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can you help upgrade older emergency systems?

    Yes. We help identify compliant replacements and successor products for ageing emergency gear, including transitions from NiCd or NiMH to modern lithium batteries.

Responsibility for the testing regime and compliance remains with the responsible person on site.

  • Who is responsible for emergency lighting compliance?

    Responsibility for compliance, testing and maintenance rests with the building’s responsible person, informed by the applicable standards and a risk assessment. We support that responsibility by supplying compliant products, explaining suitable options and enabling automated testing, but we do not act as a regulatory or legal authority. We can help you specify and maintain a dependable emergency system.

  • How do I transition from NiCd or NiMH to lithium batteries?

    We guide the transition to modern lithium battery solutions, helping identify compatible batteries and gear for your emergency luminaires. The right choice depends on the existing system, duration and charging requirements. Sharing the current components lets us recommend a suitable replacement that keeps the system compliant, dependable and maintainable.

  • Do you supply standalone emergency luminaires?

    Yes. We supply standalone, ready-to-apply emergency products for situations where a self-contained emergency luminaire is more practical than converting an existing fitting. We can help you choose a suitable product based on location, mounting and required duration, and explain how it fits within the wider emergency scheme and compliance requirements.

  • Can you support automated emergency testing across multiple sites?

    Yes. We supply emergency systems and controls that support self-test and automated testing with reporting, which can be applied across multiple sites to reduce manual checks and centralise records. The right approach depends on the systems in place and your reporting needs. Share your estate and requirements and we can explain compatible options.
