Emergency lighting testing FAQs for Clwyd

Which towns in Clwyd do you cover?

All of Clwyd, including Wrexham, Buckley and Deeside. See the towns list on this page for local pages.

What energy rules apply to new lighting in Clwyd?

The Welsh Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Clwyd must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.

Why is the annual test done out of hours?

After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.

How often should emergency lighting be tested?

A brief functional test monthly and a full rated-duration test once a year, with results recorded. BS EN 50172:2024 also calls for illuminance measurement at five-year intervals.
