Exit and emergency light testing

When was the last time you had your exit and emergency lights tested for functionality? In a commercial or industrial setting, maintaining your exit and emergency lights is more than a safety consideration – it’s also a legal requirement, and if your business is caught in the dark, there could be potentially serious ramifications. Need a check-up ASAP? Call the team at Byrd Electrical on 1300 271 287 or read on to find out more about how we can help.

Why do you need exit and emergency lighting?

In the light of day, exit and emergency lighting can be easy to ignore, but in the dark – and in buildings with low natural light – it becomes a critical safety consideration, particularly in cases when emergencies lead to the loss of electricity. When kept in good working condition, the batteries in each light will be sufficient to provide at least 90 minutes of light after power failure, giving those inside the building enough time to find the exit doors and make it out.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://byrdelectrical.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/exit-images.png” title_text=”exit-images” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”serv-section serv-section-sub” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”19.5px||19.5px||true|false” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ make_equal=”on” module_class=”h-tags” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ module_class=”serv-section-left” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://byrdelectrical.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/emergency-images.png” title_text=”emergency-images” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ module_class=”serv-section-right” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Content” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Gilmer Med||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”28px” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”60px” header_3_text_color=”#02383c” header_3_font_size=”40px” min_height=”300px” custom_margin=”||39px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

What’s the process for exit and emergency light testing?

Testing exit and emergency lights is as simple as pressing the “push to test” button on the casing and timing the light for 90 minutes to ensure that it stays on. However, this is not a process you can DIY – under the National Construction Code, you must have a licensed electrician install your lights and test them every six months. To maximise the lifespan of your device, fittings in the system should also be inspected and cleaned on an annual basis.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”19.5px||77px||false|false” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” module_class=”h-tags” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Content” module_class=”sub-tags-up” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Gilmer Med||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”28px” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”60px” header_3_text_color=”#02383c” header_3_font_size=”40px” max_width=”688px” custom_padding=”60px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

What happens if my exit and emergency lights aren’t working properly?

There are several common signs of a faulty switchboard that require immediate attention from a professional electrician. If you have noticed your lights flickering, your appliances tripping the circuit and cutting out, or your switchboard emitting sparks or burning smells, it’s time to contact a trusted electrical team and get any concerning activity under control. With many years of industry experience, the team at Byrd Electrical are well equipped to safely and efficiently handle a wide range of electrical concerns.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://byrdelectrical.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/exit-emergency-images.png” title_text=”exit-emergency-images” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https://byrdelectrical.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2A5A1071.png” custom_padding=”||186px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ module_class=”gb-right” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”28px” header_3_font=”Gilmer Bold||||||||” header_3_text_color=”#02383c” header_3_font_size=”40px” header_3_line_height=”50px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Mark did a perfect job installing my new chandelier and did so with great care. It looks amazing. I’d definitely recommend Byrd Electrical!
Ben and the team did an awesome job. Punctual, polite, friendly and very helpful. Well done guys.
Terrific experience. Job well done, and good guys to deal with. Would highly recommend!
We were recommended Byrd from another electrician in the area who was unable to come to a call out. Mark was extremely professional, friendly, and found the root of the problem very quickly. He won over all 3 of our huskies pretty quickly, and they really enjoyed the pats post. We’re very thankful after not having heating for the day and will look continue to use Byrd if the time comes. 😊
Ben provided outstanding customer service for some electrical installation work at my unit. He prepared a quote together with a highly detailed walkthrough of the quote, considering all avenues for what I wanted to achieve. He promptly responded to my (many) questions and variations, got the job done, and left the site spotless. Highly recommend.
Great work. Friendly staff who were happy to answer all my questions first.
My house experienced tile damage while we were overseas. My daughter, concerned at possible water intrusion into the power box contacted Boyd who had recently worked at our place. He spoke with my daughter and then, unasked, checked the power board in his own time on the weekend - above and beyond the call of duty! Fantastic
Byrd Electrical were fantastic. They quickly diagnosed why our fuse box kept tripping and, thanks to their experience, discovered a hidden junction box in the wall with water inside: a real needle in a haystack! Great communication, efficient and trustworthy. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again.
Using a trade you haven’t been personally referred to can feel like a risk, but rest assured you're in safe hands with Byrd Electrical.
My initial quote was done by Mark, he was punctual, friendly and very helpful, explaining what needed to be done.
Mark and Pat installed a heat/light/fan unit in my bathroom, 2 smoke detectors were replaced and a light switch. Everything was done efficiently and they even tidied up after, a nice touch. Very professional and I would highly recommend Byrd Electrical….a job well done!
Fast and professional service with great advice and proactive in bringing solutions to quickly fix up my broken (very old) bathroom lighting. Boyd was punctual, friendly and did a few other small jobs at my apartment at the same time as fixing my light. Highly recommend! Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
