An emergency light that fails during a power cut is a fire safety failure discovered at the worst possible moment. We test, maintain and replace emergency lighting on a fixed schedule, across every sector — so it works when it has to.
Every test, service and replacement is carried out and certified against the specific standard your property type is held to.
The core UK standard for the design, installation and maintenance of emergency lighting systems.
Sets the required lux levels and duration on escape routes, open areas and high-risk task zones.

BS EN 50172 requires a brief monthly function test plus a full-duration discharge test annually — both should be logged in a fire safety logbook kept on site.
Batteries typically need replacing around every 4 years, and luminaires themselves around every 10 years. Our Full Lifecycle Plan builds both into the monthly fee so neither is a surprise cost.
3-hour duration is the standard requirement for most UK premises without a phased evacuation strategy. 1-hour duration is only acceptable where the building has a proven phased evacuation plan — most single-stage evacuation buildings need 3-hour rated luminaires.
