About Emergency Lighting Testing
Emergency lighting testing proves luminaires still light the escape path for the required duration and that charge indicators and test facilities work. iComply carry out BS 5266-aligned emergency lighting testing across the North West for commercial, residential common parts and care premises.

Function tests confirm that each fitting switches to emergency mode; duration tests verify batteries still deliver the designed time—commonly three hours for many UK premises. We plan testing to limit disruption, restore charging afterwards and list failures with prioritised remedials. Where clients complete monthly tests themselves, we train staff, supply simple check sheets and step in for the annual full discharge. Self-testing systems still need human review of results and physical inspection. Combined fire alarm and emergency lighting test days are popular with multi-tenant blocks seeking fewer engineer visits.

Emergency Lighting Testing FAQ
How long does a full duration test take?+
The discharge itself lasts the rated duration (often three hours), plus preparation and restore time. We schedule around building use wherever possible.
Will testing drain batteries so lights will not work in a real emergency?+
After a duration test, fittings must recharge. We advise on risk windows and can phase tests across large sites.
Do you provide certificates after testing?+
You receive test records and findings for the visit scope; failed fittings are listed for repair or replacement.
