Emergency lighting installation and testing in Bradford, Leeds and West Yorkshire
Emergency lighting comes on when the mains power fails, so people can find their way out safely. We install, test and certify emergency lighting for businesses, schools, landlords and public buildings.
The right system for your building, fitted and looked after properly.
Emergency lighting comes on when the mains power fails, so people can find their way out of a building safely. We plan it around your escape routes, exits, stairs, changes of direction and fire safety equipment.
We install maintained and non-maintained fittings, illuminated exit signs, and self-test units that run their own monthly checks, which saves time on testing.
Our annual visit covers the full-duration test and a check of every fitting and exit sign. If we also look after your fire alarm, we can do both on the same visit.
The systems we install
Non-maintained fittings
Only light up when the mains power fails. The usual choice for offices, factories and most workplaces.
Maintained fittings
Stay lit all the time and keep working in a power cut. Common in places of entertainment and where exit signs must always show.
Exit signs
Illuminated running-man signs showing the way to the nearest exit.
Self-test fittings
Run their own monthly and annual tests and show a fault, which saves time on manual testing.
Upgrades to LED
Replacing old fluorescent fittings with LED units that last longer and use less power.
High-risk task lighting
Lighting for areas with dangerous processes or machinery, so they can be made safe before leaving.

What a service visit includes
We put you on a maintenance plan, book the visits, remind you when they are due and keep the paperwork your fire risk assessment or insurer asks for. We take over systems fitted by other companies too.
Existing customers can call us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 01274 599888 if something fails.
What you need to know
We work to BS 5266-1.
The law
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person accountable for keeping escape routes lit.
Monthly test
A short test every month to check each light comes on when the power is cut. Many buildings do this themselves, and we can show you how.
Annual test
A full-duration test once a year to check the batteries last, with every test recorded in the log book.

Emergency lighting questions
How often should emergency lighting be tested?
BS 5266-1 recommends a short test every month and a full-duration test once a year, usually three hours, with every test recorded in the log book.
Can we do the monthly test ourselves?
Yes. Many buildings do. We can show you how, or do it for you.
What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained?
Maintained fittings are always on and stay lit in a power cut. Non-maintained fittings only come on when the mains fails.
Can emergency lighting test itself?
Yes. Self-test fittings run their own checks and show a fault, which saves time on monthly testing.
Do you issue a certificate?
Yes. After the annual test we issue a certificate for your records and your fire risk assessment.
Can you test it at the same time as our fire alarm?
Yes. If we look after your fire alarm, we can do both on the same visit.
