Emergency and exit lighting
When the power fails, emergency and exit lights guide people out safely. They must be tested regularly and the results recorded. We install, test and maintain them, and keep the logbook up to date.

Short answer
Emergency and exit lights must be inspected and discharge-tested every six months under AS/NZS 2293.2, with results recorded in a logbook. Failed units are repaired or replaced. Testing typically costs $10 to $25 per fitting, and LED replacement fittings typically cost $150 to $300 each installed.
Most commercial buildings, strata common areas and shops need emergency lighting. Building owners in NSW must also provide an annual fire safety statement that covers essential fire safety measures, including emergency lighting.
We test every fitting, record the results, and replace failed batteries and fittings. Modern LED fittings last longer and cost less to run than old fluorescent units.
What we do
- Six-monthly inspection and 90-minute discharge testing
