Emergency lighting is critical in a power cut or evacuation — and it's one of the most commonly under-maintained systems in commercial buildings. We make sure yours works, every test, every time.
Fire Safety / Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting is a legal requirement in almost every non-domestic building. In the event of a power failure — which is often an early sign of a serious fire — it provides the illumination that allows people to find their way to exits safely. Without it, a building can become very dangerous, very quickly.
We install, test and maintain emergency lighting for all building types, from simple self-contained luminaires to complex central battery systems across multi-storey buildings. All work is carried out to BS 5266.
Testing is where most buildings fall short. Monthly flick tests get missed. Three-hour annual tests aren't completed properly. We manage the testing programme for our clients and provide clear documentation — so you always have a complete picture of your system's performance.
What's Included
System design to BS 5266 Part 1, ensuring the correct type and level of illumination across all escape routes, exits and risk areas.
Professional installation of all luminaires, wiring and central battery systems by our qualified engineers.
We can carry out or manage your monthly flick tests — or help you set up a self-test system that does it automatically.
Full three-hour duration test in accordance with BS 5266, with a detailed certificate and any defects clearly documented.
Emergency lighting completion and periodic inspection certificates, held on record and available whenever you need them.
Fast replacement of failed luminaires, batteries and fittings to keep your system fully operational.
How It Works
We survey your building, identify all escape routes and risk areas, and design a system that meets BS 5266 requirements.
Our engineers install luminaires and any central battery equipment with minimum disruption to the building.
We carry out a full commissioning test, issue a completion certificate, and explain the ongoing testing requirements.
We manage your monthly, six-monthly and annual testing programme — and provide clear records after every visit.
Why Erif
We do things properly — and we've been doing them that way since 2015. Here's what that means for you.
Monthly and annual testing requirements are easy to miss. We schedule and manage your entire programme so nothing slips through.
After every test visit, you get a clear report — what was tested, what passed, what failed, and what we've done about it.
For clients who want total confidence without the admin, we install automated self-test systems that monitor themselves and flag issues automatically.
