Emergency lighting testing in Luton

In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Luton buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.

Annual emergency lighting tests in Luton are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.

Luton FAQs

Can you work out of hours in Luton?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Luton offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

Do you remove the old fittings in Luton?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Luton?

Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.

Can we do the monthly tests ourselves?

Yes. A trained, competent person can do the monthly flick test and record it. Many businesses do this in-house and bring us in for the annual test and repairs.
