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 underpins your overall fire strategy by keeping escape paths visible the moment normal lighting fails.
They mark out routes, staircases, exits, and risk areas so that people can see where to go in an emergency. This controlled lighting significantly reduces confusion and trip hazards during an evacuation.
Substandard emergency lighting leaves your building vulnerable to compliance issues, enforcement notices, and disputes with insurers after an incident. Our specialists map your escape routes and risk areas, then design a compliant solution with appropriate output, duration, and distribution across the premises.
TYPES OF EMERGENCY LIGHTING WE INSTALL
Every system we install is engineered to meet the highest standards of industry safety standards compliance. Our lighting systems provide both escape route and anti-panic functions for complete safety. Our tailored lighting for high-risk environments keeps visibility high and risks low.

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.
