Durham Electrics offers the following  services in relation to emergency lighting

​

✦ Initial installation

✦ Testing and Inspection (monthly and annual)

✦ Daily checks - visual check that lights are operating. 

✦ Monthly short duration testing (not exceeding 10 minutes) should be done by the responsible person. 

✦ Annual full discharge testing or commonly known as 3-hour discharge should be carried out by a qualified and competent person / contractor.  Durham Electrics recommends completing these tests on a weekend when the building is not to be re-occupied before the lighting system is fully recharged (i.e. 24 hours).

​

✦ Maintenance

✦ As an energy saving specialist we will advise, where required, to upgrade existing fittings to LED.  Upgrading provides more longevity of your investment.  LEDs provide a better quality of light lasting many many more hours than standard bulbs.  LED emergency fittings are less likely to fail a 3-hour test.

✦ Durham Electrics offers electrical maintenance contracts to help spread the cost of servicing your system.  Prior to any new contract Durham Electrics carries out an assessment of your premises against the current standard.  We will cross reference our findings with your fire risk assessment and provide details of a service maintenance plan (including where required repairs and/or upgrades).
