Emergency lighting testing in Exeter
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Exeter buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Local emergency lighting testing in Exeter
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Exeter buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Annual emergency lighting tests in Exeter are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
For Exeter premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
