Without providing all of the detail, this system would allow us to use existing power supplies without having to install a new circuit (which would require more intrusive works to be undertaken on the building). First and foremost, your emergency lighting must be tested by a competent person due to the important nature of the system in ensuring occupant safety in the event of an emergency. Along with other test key manufacturers we can supply the popular Crabtree Emergency Lighting Test Key. For the annual test, the requirements for emergency lighting are to test for a duration of three hours.Self testing EM lights "do as it says on the tin" they carry out all the required tests without help, they only have timer software, so that means they will carry out all required tests over 12 months but you can not determine when as they have no calender software. Yes, the key switch is to allow for manual testing and self testing luminaires are automatic therefore you do not require key switches. Emergency escape lighting provides illumination for people who need to exit a building in an emergency, such as a fire or a power cut.

Absolutely Ian, you cannot usually give definitive answers, only be general, because there is so many different situations you have to consider. This means that walkways, stairwells and service rooms can remain well lit to enable evacuation, prevent accidents and avoid injury. This forum has provided invaluable information while designing a new fire safety system for the block of flats I partly own, thank you for all of your contributions to date! I stand corrected, thanks AB, you should check out "F ire safety guidance for existing purpose built flats" at http://www.

As the lights are independent it would be wise to simply look at the indicator LED on each light once a month. The monthly emergency lighting tests, also known as the ‘flick tests’, are a short functional test simulating failure of the mains power supply which ensures the lamp switches on and illuminates correctly. Annually you need to switch off the mains power supply to the emergency lighting units and then leave the units illuminated for a longer period (usually three hours). The walk around test is to check the duration for which emergency lights remain on, which is either done by a flicking off the emergency circuit manually or via a monitored system.
