WHY EMERGENCY LIGHTING MATTERS
Reliable emergency lighting is essential to guide people to safety in the event of a mains failure or fire emergency. It provides immediate visual support so occupants are not left disoriented in darkness.
They keep stairwells, corridors, fire exits, and hazardous zones lit, helping people and responders move with confidence. This helps both occupants and emergency responders move quickly and safely in challenging conditions.
If emergency lighting is poorly designed, installed, or maintained, you risk failing safety inspections, breaching UK fire regulations, and undermining insurance protection. The Winstanley Electrical team creates tailored schemes that match your layout, with correct light levels, resilient battery support, and coverage to every key escape area.
TYPES OF EMERGENCY LIGHTING WE INSTALL
Our emergency lighting systems are designed, installed, and maintained according to BS 5266 compliance. This covers both escape route and anti-panic lighting, maintaining safe visibility throughout the building. We design and service lighting systems for hazardous areas to ensure operational clarity and protection. We offer flexible options: maintained systems for constant light and non-maintained setups for emergencies. Our large-scale projects often include central battery or self-contained emergency lighting designed for reliability.
Serving clients throughout Bovey Tracey, Devon, we carry out emergency lighting installation and testing to the highest professional standard. We help you stay compliant with BS 5266 through correctly designed and maintained systems. You receive full documentation, test records, and certification for your compliance files.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is emergency lighting and why do I need it?
Emergency lighting provides illumination if the normal power supply fails. It helps people find exits, stairs and fire-fighting equipment safely. Many premises are legally required to install and maintain emergency lighting in line with BS 5266 and BS EN 50172.
What types of emergency lighting do you install?
Escape route, open-area (anti-panic), high-risk task area, maintained, non-maintained, and systems using either self-contained batteries or a central battery.
Do you handle design as well as installation?
Yes. We design, supply and install complete emergency lighting systems. Our engineers survey your site, specify fittings and batteries, and position luminaires to achieve compliant coverage and minimum light levels.
How often should emergency lighting be tested?
Carry out a brief functional test every month and a full duration test every year. We can schedule monthly checks and the annual three-hour test, then record results in your logbook.
What is the three-hour test?
It simulates a power failure and confirms the emergency lights operate for the full rated duration, typically three hours, with adequate brightness.
Who is responsible for testing and record-keeping?
The duty holder or a competent person appointed by the business. We provide compliant testing, remedial works, and maintain your on-site logbook and digital records.
Can you repair and maintain existing emergency lighting?
Yes. We test, fault-find and repair all common brands. We replace failed batteries, chargers, inverters and luminaires, and upgrade older fittings to LED where appropriate.
What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained lights?
Maintained lights are on in normal operation and continue on battery when the power fails. Non-maintained lights are off in normal operation and only switch on during a power failure.
Should I use a self-contained system or a central battery?
Self-contained is usually best for small to medium sites and simplifies installation and maintenance. Central battery systems suit large sites or where you want centralised control and easier testing. We can advise after a survey.
How long do emergency lighting batteries last?
Typically 3–5 years depending on technology, environment and test frequency. We check capacity during annual testing and replace proactively to prevent failures.
Do you provide certification?
Yes. After installation, testing or remedial work we issue commissioning certificates, logbook entries and a remedial report where needed to demonstrate compliance.
Can you combine emergency lighting testing with other services?
Yes. We can bundle with EICR, fire alarm testing, PAT, and general electrical maintenance to reduce disruption and cost.
How much does emergency lighting installation or testing cost?
Pricing depends on building size, the number of fittings, access, and whether you need upgrades or new circuits. Call 0800 038 9786 and we will provide a fixed quote after a short survey.
Do you cover my area?
Yes. Our emergency lighting installers cover the North West and nationwide. Call or email info@winstanley-electrical.com to book.
