Frequently asked questions
How often should emergency lighting be tested?
According to Australian Standard AS/NZS 2293, emergency lighting systems must undergo monthly short-duration tests and six-monthly full-duration discharge tests. Our maintenance plans include these mandatory tests and comprehensive reporting to ensure your business remains compliant with all regulatory requirements.
What happens if my emergency lighting fails an inspection?
If we identify any issues during testing, our team will provide a detailed report of the deficiencies and recommend necessary repairs or replacements. We can then schedule the remedial work promptly to ensure your system returns to full compliance as quickly as possible, minimizing any potential legal or safety risks to your business.
Can you retrofit emergency lighting in my existing commercial building?
Yes, we specialise in retrofitting emergency lighting systems in existing commercial buildings across the Northern Beaches. Our experienced electricians can design and install systems that meet current regulations while minimizing disruption to your business operations and preserving the aesthetics of your premises.
Do all commercial buildings require emergency lighting?
Under the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and workplace health and safety regulations, most commercial buildings require some form of emergency lighting. The specific requirements depend on the building's size, usage, and occupancy levels. During our initial assessment, we'll determine exactly what your property needs to achieve full compliance.
What is the lifespan of emergency lighting systems?
Most quality emergency lighting components have a lifespan of 5-10 years, though batteries typically need replacement every 3-4 years depending on usage conditions. With our regular maintenance program, we can maximise the lifespan of your system and plan for orderly replacements before component failure creates compliance issues.
