About Non Maintained Emergency Lighting
Non-maintained emergency lighting stays off in normal mains conditions and only illuminates when power fails—ideal for many escape routes and plant areas. iComply design, install and maintain non-maintained emergency lighting across the North West in accordance with BS 5266. From Stockport we ensure correct switching, reliable batteries and test access so fittings work the moment they are needed.
Non-maintained operation reduces lamp hours but increases the importance of regular testing, because faults are less obvious day to day. We specify non-maintained heads where appropriate, label test points clearly and train staff on monthly function checks. Mixed systems are common: maintained exit signs for visibility with non-maintained route lighting alongside. During service we verify that non-maintained fittings still transfer cleanly on supply failure and achieve duration. If your building has confusing mixed circuits or unlabelled key switches, we rationalise identification as part of compliance works.
- ●Correct application of non-maintained luminaires
- ●Test facilities and labelling for monthly checks
- ●Battery and transfer performance on service visits
