Emergency lighting testing FAQs for Leicestershire

Which towns in Leicestershire do you cover?

All of Leicestershire, including Leicester, Loughborough and Hinckley. See the towns list on this page for local pages.

How are prices set in Leicestershire?

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

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.
