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.

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.

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.

Ben did an excellent job on several tasks for us. He explained everything clearly, was professional throughout, and went above and beyond to achieve a great result. The quality of his work was far better than that of the previous company we used. We were very happy with the outcome and would definitely use this company again.

Fantastic team. Byrd Electrical completed the jobs neatly and as required, explaining clearly how what I needed would be best completed. They are prompt, punctual, and reliable. Highly recommend.
Extremely fast turn around for our large job. Good value and friendly service. I couldn’t recommend the team more.
The team provided a prompt and professional response to a non-critical job on fire alarm updates (long due) and the installation and upgrade of power-points and our main switchboard. Mark, Lionel and Pat were great to deal with and, in advising on the routing and placement of the trickier new installations, showed they were well aware that convenience, safety and aesthetics count. The installations were undertaken with thoughtfulness and thoroughness over two visits. Byrd Electrical are certainly our go-to guys from now on.
fantastic job, very professional for our Sauna installation
Great experience with Byrd Electrical. They were very responsive and came out the next day for a non emergency job, and were on time, which was great as I had limited time due to school runs. Ben came out, identified the fault, quoted on the spot and did the job there and then, efficiently, professionally and tidily. Highly recommended.
