Emergency Light Testing London.
Emergency light testing is carried out to ensure the lights work correctly. They are important to health and safety and should illuminate exit routes. These routes are for people leaving the building in an emergency. A safe exit must always be illuminated.
Emergency lights are used for various reasons as follows;
- Failure to the lighting system.
- Loss of power.
- Fire.
If the emergency lights don’t work correctly it could result in serious outcomes which include injury and even death. Emergency lighting testing is a requirement by UK law.
Routine monthly emergency light testing should be carried out, on completion the date and time should be placed in the site logbook or on an online automated log sheet which is sent to the client.

Testing Emergency Lights Legal Requirements.
Emergency light testing is a legal requirement. The tests are UK law and should not be ignored, if you do not comply with the regulations you could be prosecuted. In some instances you could end up in a criminal court. This is usually when there is injury or death as a failure to comply with the emergency lighting testing procedures.Emergency Lighting Certificate.
Emergency Light Certificates are required after an emergency light testing and inspection has been carried out at your property.
Emergency light testing is recommended by Law in the UK for health & safety, the emergency light certificates must be held in a safe place as proof of compliance.
You will receive your emergency light certificate from us once the emergency light service has been completed. This will provide you with any recommendations that require fixing on the emergency lighting installed.
These recommendations may be damage, deterioration, defects or dangerous conditions.
How often should you get an emergency light certificate?
There are various time scales for testing emergency lighting to be carried out. However, the recommendations are as follow;
- Monthly emergency lighting Tests. (Switching the power of to ensure lights illuminate)
- 6 monthly emergency lighting Tests. (Let the batteries discharge for 1 hour to see if the lights stay on for the duration)
- Annually emergency lighting Test (Let the batteries discharge for 3 hour to see if the lights stay on for the duration)
The only main requirement above is the annual test; although it is highly recommended that you carry out the other tests. This is to ensure safety.
What is the Importance of Emergency Light Testing on a Regular Basis?
Emergency lighting systems are lighting systems that automatically provide illumination when the mains power supply is cut. They are some of the most important systems in any property because they allow work continuity as well as the safe evacuation of people in case of fire or other emergencies.
This explains why emergency light testing should be done routinely. If you are an employer or an owner of a building, then you should conduct monthly emergency lighting tests as well as annual emergency lighting drain down services.

Extremely professional and honest business. They regularly carry out monthly testing of Emergency Lighting and Fire Alarm Systems within various blocks of flats and have also provided an excellent "Handyman" service repairing minor defects including kitchen units, door handles, smoke alarm batteries etc.
Thank you for your efficiency, professionalism and customer care. Our building’s management and compliance are no longer a headache! Thank you. Recommending 100%!
We have been using Stamford James for the last 4 years to carry out emergency light and fire alarm testing and servicing at our block. They are contractors of our block management agent and quite often we bump into the engineers when they are on site on a monthly basis. I have to say they are a fantastic group who are always happy to do small bits and pieces around the block that sometimes they do not charge for including sticking Down Loose carpet edges and tightening loose handlebars etc. They have also carried out figure jobs for us in the garden for paving and other health and safety related work. I highly recommend them to any prospective managing agents or leaseholders of blocks. They actually also fitted our emergency lighting system back in 2018.
Stamford James are very professional, responsive, efficient and it is a delight to work with them and have the piece of mind that the works are carried out to a high standard. They have been dealing with a variety of issues for me such as handyman services, Fire Alarm, emergency lights & AOV routine testing and servicing,etc. I was impressed not only by the fast response but also by the admin side of their business which is amazing and when needed they did not doubt going the extra mile and make me feel valued as a customer. I highly recommend them to anyone.

I am a block manager and I first started working with Stamford James last year after a decline in service from our previous contractor.Stamford James are highly efficient and extremely helpful, not only do they complete the inspections and services (Emergency Lighting, Fire Alarm and AOV) as instructed, they will also report any issues they see while on site promptly and complete odd jobs such as securing a door handles or stair nosing, saving us from calling out a separate contractor and incurring additional charges.They are a pleasure to work with and I honestly couldn’t fault them, they go above and beyond and a real asset to our team.I highly recommend Stamford James.
