To comply with health and safety legislations it is vital that your Emergency Lighting system is fully operational, tested on a regular basis to ensure the battery and the lamp is in working order and a 3 hour discharge test carried out annually by a maintenance company.
Imagine its 4pm on a week day at the beginning of December, even though you may know the layout of your work place like the back of your hand do your employees? all of a sudden it goes dark, the building has a power cut, your Emergency Lights have failed as they have not been tested recently and as you stumble around trying to find the exit the fire alarm activates, now the building is filling up with smoke, its not just yourself but everyone in the building panicking because their disorientated and can’t find their way out.
This scenario may sound far fetched but in reality it does happen, emergency lights illuminate your exit so in the event of a power cut you can easily find your way out of the building, as an employer you are responsible for the health and safety of your employees and ensuring your Emergency Lights comply with the current Regulations BS 5266 is essential.
Electrifire Limited appreciate the fact that testing the Emergency Lights each week and recording the results is a time consuming process, imagine if you have 50 lights and your expected to test each one once a week.
This is where Electrifire Limited are proud to introduce our Self Testing Emergency Lights, each light has a built in timer and a light sensor, the timer cuts the power to the Emergency Light and allows the Emergency Light to be powered by its in built battery, if the battery fails the test the internal buzzer will sound and the LED will change to Red. The light sensor measures the brightness of the lamp while the timer has cut the power, if the lamp fails the test the internal buzzer will sound and the LED will change to Orange. If the battery and lamp test pass then the Emergency Light will return to normal and the LED will return to Green to indicate its charging.
With Self Testing Emergency Lights you can use your time more efficiently safe in the knowledge that if any of your emergency lights do fail then you will be alerted. Remember any of your existing lights can be upgraded to Self Testing.
