1) Emergency Light Testing – Keeping Your Business Safe & Compliant

Reliable Emergency Lighting Inspections from Wessex Electrical Services Ltd

At Wessex Electrical Services Ltd, we understand that keeping your business safe, compliant, and operational is a top priority. Emergency lighting is a legal requirement in commercial properties, ensuring safe evacuation routes in case of a power failure, fire, or emergency.

But simply having emergency lighting installed isn’t enough – regular testing and maintenance are required to ensure they function correctly when needed most. That’s where we come in!

2) Why is Emergency Light Testing Essential?

⚡ Legal Compliance – UK law requires businesses to carry out routine emergency lighting tests in line with BS 5266-1: Code of Practice for Emergency Lighting.

⚡ Safety Assurance – In a fire or power cut, properly tested emergency lights illuminate escape routes, reducing panic and ensuring safe evacuation.

⚡ Business Protection – Faulty emergency lighting can invalidate your insurance and leave your business liable for accidents. Regular testing minimises risk and helps you stay fully protected.

3) Our Emergency Light Testing Service

At Wessex Electrical Services Ltd, we provide thorough emergency lighting tests to help businesses in our local area stay compliant and prepared.

1. Monthly Function Tests

We conduct short-duration tests to check that all emergency lights are operational, undamaged, and charging correctly.

2. Annual Full-Duration Testing

A three-hour discharge test ensures that emergency lighting systems provide sufficient illumination for the required period in an emergency.

3. Comprehensive Maintenance & Repairs

If any emergency lights fail the test, we identify faults, replace faulty components, and ensure full compliance with safety regulations.

4. Detailed Compliance Reports

After testing, we provide a full report for your records, helping you prove compliance in the event of a fire safety inspection.
