WHY EMERGENCY LIGHTING MATTERS
Emergency lighting systems play a vital role in supporting safe evacuation during power failures or fire incidents. Without it, occupants may struggle to see critical escape information or routes in low-visibility conditions.
They keep stairwells, corridors, fire exits, and hazardous zones lit, helping people and responders move with confidence. That level of visibility supports faster, safer evacuation and assists attending fire crews.
A lack of robust emergency lighting provision can expose you to enforcement action, invalidated policies, and serious safety failings. Using your building drawings and risk profile, we design systems that combine correct luminance, reliable batteries, and full coverage of escape and high-risk areas.
TYPES OF EMERGENCY LIGHTING WE INSTALL
Every emergency lighting installation we handle is done in accordance with UK safety standards. Our systems feature escape route lighting and open-area lighting for secure movement in emergencies. We fit and maintain high-risk task lighting designed for industrial and technical environments. We supply maintained lighting for continuous illumination and non-maintained systems that switch on when needed. For larger projects, we recommend both self-contained and central battery systems for consistent performance.

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.
