Emergency and exit lighting are essential safety measures under Victoria's building regulations. Owners have to keep them working and be able to prove it in the annual essential safety measures report. We test every fitting, keep the logbook up to date, and fix what fails — usually on the same visit.
What the testing involves
AS/NZS 2293.2 requires emergency and exit lighting to be inspected and tested every six months. That means checking every fitting is present, clean and correctly labelled, then running a discharge test — cutting mains power so each fitting runs on its battery for its full rated duration — and recording the results.
Fittings that fail get a new battery, lamp or complete replacement, and every result goes into the logbook your building surveyor or auditor will ask to see.
Repairs, upgrades and new installs
Older fluorescent emergency fittings are expensive to keep alive. We replace them with long-life LED emergency and exit fittings, and install new emergency lighting as part of fit-outs and change-of-use work so the tenancy complies from day one.
