Emergency lighting testing FAQs for Gwynedd

How are prices set in Gwynedd?

Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.

What energy rules apply to new lighting in Gwynedd?

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

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.

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.
