Emergency lighting testing in Glasgow
What we do in Glasgow: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Annual emergency lighting tests in Glasgow are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
Local emergency lighting testing in Glasgow
Where Glasgow buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Glasgow buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
We cover the whole of Glasgow, including the G2, G4 and G1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Rutherglen, Bishopbriggs and Giffnock.
