Emergency Lights and Exit Lighting

Will Your Emergency Lights and Lighting Work When You Need Them?

Emergency lights and emergency lighting provides lighting in corridors, stairwells, ramps, escalators, aisles, and exit passageways during power outages. If your emergency lights fail to operate properly, the building occupants can become disoriented or panicked. This may present a major liability for your company.

Routine maintenance of emergency lights and emergency lighting is frequently overlooked until and emergency occurs--and then its too late. Regular maintenance is required by NFPA Standard No. 101, chapter 31, section 1.3.7.

	NFPA LifeSafety 101 31-1.3.7
	"A functional test shall be conducted on every required emergency lighting system at 30-day intervals for a minimum of 30 seconds. An annual test shall be conducted for the 1 1/2 hour duration. Equipment shall be fully operational for the duration of the test. Written records of visual inspections and tests shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction."
	Fire Pro's trained technicians can perform annual testing and maintenance on emergency lights as required by law.
