Why Exit Lights Matter
When power cuts out in an emergency, clearly lit exit paths are critical. That’s where compliant emergency lighting comes in—it helps guide people safely out of the building and reduces panic during evacuations. But like any safety equipment, exit lights degrade over time. Batteries fail, bulbs dim, or fittings go unnoticed until an inspection is due—or overdue.

That’s why we recommend six-monthly testing to ensure all lights work as intended. We test that fittings stay lit for the minimum 90 minutes, replace faulty units where needed, and provide a logbook entry for your compliance records. Whether you manage a retail space, office, warehouse or rental property, keeping exit lights in good condition is a legal requirement—and an easy one to manage with expert support.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How often do exit and emergency lights need testing?
Exit and emergency lights must be tested every six months in line with AS/NZS 2293. This includes a 90-minute battery discharge test and a visual inspection. Records must be logged in a compliant fire safety logbook. If the fitting fails the test, it must be repaired or replaced immediately to meet fire safety regulations.
What causes emergency lighting to fail?
Common causes include battery degradation, faulty wiring, expired components, or light fittings that have been damaged over time. Lack of regular maintenance can also lead to dust build-up or corrosion. Because these faults aren’t always visible, regular testing is the only reliable way to ensure each unit will function properly when needed.
Do all buildings need exit light testing?
Most commercial, industrial and public-use buildings are legally required to have and maintain emergency lighting systems. This includes offices, schools, apartment complexes, healthcare facilities and retail premises. Even smaller workplaces may require emergency lighting depending on layout and usage. Always check local building codes and fire safety regulations to confirm your responsibilities.
