Exit Lighting

Testing of Exit & Emergency Lights, AS/NZS 2293.2:1995 states that both Exit and Emergency Lighting MUST be Inspected and Serviced by a trained technician
EVERY SIX MONTHS

Six Monthly Procedures

Replace any faulty lamps prior to the test procedure. Note, when replacing a faulty lamp it is advisable to replace the lamp starter also.
Operate the fitting from their battery supply by turning off their normal power supply. You will see one tube within the fixture go out and the other tube illuminate.
The light must remain alight for at least 90 minutes.
Replace any faulty lamps or fittings. Note, depending upon the nature of the fault, fittings can be repaired. But the cost of fault diagnosis and repair can, more often than not, exceed the cost of the provision of a new fitting.
Turn on the normal lighting power supply and check that the battery charger indicator light on the fitting functions correctly.
Record details of the test and correct operation of the system. Record the replacement of faulty lamps and the repair or replacement of fittings.
