Emergency lighting installation & testing in Lees
- 01
Who needs emergency lighting
Most workplaces, shops, offices and the shared areas of flats and HMOs need emergency lighting, so people can find their way out if the mains power fails. Your fire risk assessment sets out where it's needed. It usually covers escape routes, exits, stairs and changes of direction.

Types of emergency light
Maintained lights stay on all the time and keep working in a power cut, which suits places like cinemas and some shops. Non-maintained lights only come on when the power fails. Exit signs show the way out. Most fittings have a battery that lasts for three hours.

Testing and records
Emergency lights need a short function test every month and a full-duration test once a year, when the lights run on battery for their full rated time. Results go in a logbook. Batteries wear out over time, so the yearly test shows which fittings need attention.
What to expect from emergency lighting installation & testing
For a new system, we look at your premises and your fire risk assessment to agree where lights and exit signs are needed. We then give you a free quote for the fittings and installation. For existing systems, we arrange regular test visits at times that suit you.
We install the fittings on the right circuits, with test switches so the system can be checked easily. Every light is tested before handover. You get a certificate and a logbook, and on testing visits we record the results and quote for any fittings or batteries that have failed.

Emergency lighting installation & testing questions
Does my business in Lees need emergency lighting?
Most do. If people work in or visit your premises, your fire risk assessment will usually say emergency lighting is needed on escape routes, at exits and in areas without natural light. Small premises with good daylight may need less. We can help you work out what's required.
How often should emergency lighting be tested in Lees?
A brief function test every month, where each light is switched to battery for a short time, and a full-duration test once a year. The monthly test can be done by a responsible person on site, while the annual test is usually done by an electrician. All results should be logged.
Do HMOs and shared buildings in Oldham need emergency lighting?
Many do, especially where the stairs and hallways have no natural light or the escape route is long. The requirement comes from the fire risk assessment and, for licensed HMOs, the licence conditions. We install and test emergency lighting in shared buildings across Oldham.
What happens if an emergency light fails its test?
We note it in the logbook and tell you what's wrong, which is often a worn-out battery or a failed lamp. We then quote to replace the battery or the fitting. Until it's fixed, that area may not be properly lit if the power fails, so it's worth sorting quickly.
