Emergency Lighting Testing & Maintenance


Annual Emergency Lighting Testing at a local Bowling Club


To ensure the continued safety of staff and visitors, Matt Browning Electrical were contracted to carry out the annual testing of the existing interior and exterior emergency lighting at a sports facility in Maidenhead, Berkshire.


Working out-of-hours, our team carried out the testing and documented the results to demonstrate the emergency lighting performed correctly. Where our test report identified faulty lights, we provided a fixed price quote and were subsequently appointed to supply & fit replacements as part of our electrical maintenance service. 


Annual testing and routine maintenance provides assurance that emergency lighting will continue to operate for the correct duration to allow safe evacuation in the event of power failure  .

Emergency lighting is required in premises to enable occupants to escape safely in an emergency situation. BS 5266-1 states that a building must have adequate illumination to support escape and identify firefighting equipment (or any other fire safety equipment). The standard defines minimum lux levels and duration.


In the UK, is a legal requirement under both Building Regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, that all business premises including offices, factories, pubs and clubs, schools, hospitals and entertainment venues – including tents and marquees – are provided with emergency escape lighting. 

At Matt Browning Electrical our staff are qualified and experienced in emergency lighting design and maintenance. Working with a range of lighting manufacturers,  we provide solutions to help every client ensure their premises comply with current emergency lighting standards. Our team undertakes regular CPD training to keep up to date with the latest regulatory and technological changes.

LED lighting upgrade installed in a school, providing cost savings though energy efficient lighting

School LED Lighting Upgrade

September 9, 2024
At Matt Browning Electrical, our experienced electricians can upgrade old fluorescent lighting in nurseries, schools, colleges, and universities with the latest LED lighting technology - not only improving lighting performance and reducing future maintenance costs, but also delivering significant cost reductions through reduced energy consumption. We were recently asked to upgrade the old fluorescent lighting in classroom and corridor areas in this school building. Our complimentary site survey found many of the fluorescent tubes and control-gear components had failed, and with fluorescent lighting technology being phased out for environmental and energy saving reasons, we provided a fixed price quote for an LED lighting upgrade. We supplied & installed LED lighting from Ansell and low glare lighting from Ovia in classroom areas. With automatic control through occupancy sensors and dimmable controls for the classroom, performance has improved whilst energy costs have reduced.

Commercial Electrical Inspection and Testing Next Inspection Label on Distribution Board for EICR

Will "it" let you down?

July 21, 2024
If you own, occupy, or manage commercial premises and your operations rely on electricity to function, when was the last time your fixed electrical installation was inspected and tested? Did you know that the electrical installation in commercial buildings should be inspected and tested by a competent electrical inspector every 5 years? Whilst an EICR is an important compliance tool for H&S and insurance purposes with the primary focus on safety, it can also form part of best practice preventative maintenance. If done well, it can help spot problems before they affect business operations. These can be put right at a time of your choosing, rather than letting you down when you need it least - trying to deliver your services or meet a deadline. If you don’t know when your fixed wiring was last tested, look at your electrical distribution board – there should be a label with date of the last inspection. Lease your business premises? Don’t assume your landlord has this covered.
