Emergency Light Testing

Emergency lighting testing is a legal requirement for most commercial, residential, and public-sector buildings, ensuring safe evacuation in the event of power failure. Insurers, fire risk assessors, and enforcing authorities expect emergency lighting systems to be regularly tested and properly maintained. Routine inspections and annual full-duration tests are frequently reviewed during audits and investigations. Emergency lighting testing is therefore a critical part of any building’s fire safety responsibilities. Whatever your requirements, Reaction Group has the experience, resources, and qualified engineers to ensure your emergency lighting remains fully compliant.
