Product Information

During regular testing of emergency lighting, the power supply to the lighting system is typically switched off manually. This simulates a power outage or emergency situation and triggers the emergency lighting to activate automatically. When fitting a emergency light test switch does it matter if you fit it in the live to the lights or the live to the emergency lights Building owners and operators should ensure that their emergency lighting systems meet all applicable codes and regulations, and that they are properly maintained to ensure occupant safety.

Overall, emergency lighting is an important safety feature in buildings of all types, and it is a legal requirement in most jurisdictions. The BS states that each emergency lighting system should have a suitable means for simulating failure of the normal supply for test purposes and that is all. They are simple to use and help save time and money when conducting emergency lighting system tests. Does emergency lighting need a key switch for testing?

Due to emergency light systems being so important in the process of protecting building occupants and highlighting escape routes and firefighting equipment, it is essential that emergency escape lighting is regularly tested and maintained to ensure that in the event of a failure of mains power, the lighting works correctly and escape routes are effectively illuminated (escape route lighting).This advice and guidance article provides advice on how often you should get your emergency lighting tested, and how to test your emergency lighting. How often should emergency lighting be tested? A key-switch. This is installed on the permanent live supply to an emergency fitting. When actuated it isolates the emergency fitting, thus simulating a power failure.

The majority of UK buildings will have their emergency lights wired on the same circuit as the lighting. For obvious reasons; when the main lights go out you want the emergency lights on. Hopefully they will be connected to a test key switch, like these Who can test emergency lightsAlong with other test key manufacturers we can supply the popular Crabtree Emergency Lighting Test Key. This key is designed for use with Crabtree secret emergency lighting test switches. MK Emergency Lighting Test Key Emergency lighting test keys are designed to operate test switches located on emergency lighting control panels. Emergency lighting key switches, also known as secret key switches, are designed to allow the testing of emergency lighting easily whilst ensuring non-authorised personnel cannot tamper with the light switch. The emergency lighting test keys come in different types, including single and multi-switch keys. The single switch key is ideal for testing single-switch modules, while the multi-switch key is designed for testing multiple switches simultaneously.

It is a requirement that emergency lighting systems are tested annually. This range of Emergency Lighting Test Keys allows the user to perform these tests by operating the test keyswitches on the emergency lighting system. Crabtree Emergency Lighting Test Key L PERM is the permanent live supply and must have no normal (manually operated) switch or sensor on it. However, a key-switch is permissible and will usually be installed on this circuit. L PERM has two functions: This performs the same function as a key-switch, isolating the fitting from its permanent live supply and thereby simulating a power failure. It's important to note that specific testing procedures may vary depending on the type of emergency lighting system in your building.Each emergency lighting system should have suitable -means for simulating failure of the normal supply for test purposes (i.e. without interruption of the normal supply) During this period the light levels will be a lower level of illumination when in emergency mode and depending how long it would take you to walk the emergency lights would it be safe for the relevant persons occupying the building? Also if the building has sub circuits then each sub circuit has to be tested separately because if a sub circuit fails then that area needs to be illuminated by the emergency lighting.
