Frequently asked questions

What are the signs that my Emergency Lighting needs repair?

If your emergency light system needs repair, you might be experiencing:

The lights not turning on when the power fails. This is the most obvious sign that your emergency lighting needs repairing. This is critical; If the lights do not turn on when the power fails, then they will not be able to provide adequate illumination in the event of an emergency.
The lights are dim or flickering. This is another sign that your emergency lighting needs repair, and that your emergency light system needs rectifying as soon as possible. If the lights are dim or flickering, then they may not be able to provide adequate illumination in the event of an emergency.
Leaking or corroded batteries. If the batteries in your emergency lights are leaking or corroded, then they need to be replaced, as they can damage the light fixtures and make them more likely to fail.
Damaged light fixtures. This is especially dangerous, because if the light fixtures in your emergency lighting system are damaged, then they could allow water or moisture to enter the system, which can lead to further damage.

If your emergency lighting system has not been tested in the past year, and if you’ve been noticing any of these signs, then it is so important to have your emergency lighting system tested and repaired as soon as possible. Emergency lighting is a critical safety feature, and it’s key to ensure that it is working properly in the event of an emergency.

How often should my Emergency Lighting be repaired?

Emergency lighting should be repaired as soon as possible if it is not working properly or has been damaged. However, there are some general guidelines that you can follow to determine how often your emergency lighting should be repaired.

Monthly: You should conduct a monthly flick test to make sure your emergency lighting is still working properly. This also includes checking that the batteries are in good condition and that the light fixtures are not damaged.
Annually: You should have your emergency lighting system inspected by a qualified professional, like the BES Group, every year, as this will help to identify any potential problems and ensure that the system is working properly.
Every 3-5 years: You should replace the batteries in your emergency lights every 3-5 years, which will help to ensure that they have enough power to last in the event of a power failure.

What are the most common reasons for Emergency Light system failure?

The most common reasons for emergency light system failure are:

Dead batteries: Batteries are the most common cause of emergency light system failure. Batteries typically last for 3-5 years, but they can fail sooner if they are not properly maintained.
Faulty wiring: Faulty wiring can also cause emergency light system failure. Wiring can be damaged by rodents, water, and several other factors.
Damaged light fixtures: Light fixtures can be damaged by impact, vandalism, or others, leading to a heightened risk of breakdown in your lighting system.

Who is responsible for repairing Emergency Lights?

The responsibility for repairing emergency lights typically falls to the owner, occupier, facilities manager, or duty holder for the premises or operation. However, in some cases, the responsibility may be delegated to a third party, such as a fire safety company.
