Emergency lighting + exit signs · Fraser Valley

When the power goes out, your lights have to come on.

Emergency lights and exit signs are what get people out in the dark. We test every one on battery for its full run time, replace the batteries and units that can't hold, and log the results room by room.

What the code asks for

What you need, and how often.

01

Monthly button test

A quick push-to-test on each unit once a month, done by your staff. We show them how.

02

Yearly duration test

Once a year every unit is run on battery for its rated time, usually 30 minutes, and anything that dims or quits gets fixed.

03

Lit, visible exit signs

Exit signs must stay lit and be seen from the path of travel. Burnt-out or blocked signs are a common deficiency.

Questions

Questions people ask.

Why does a light pass the button test but fail the yearly one?

The button test only shows the battery can light the lamps for a moment. The yearly test runs it the full 30 minutes, and old batteries fade long before then.

How long do emergency light batteries last?

Usually a few years, depending on the battery and how warm the space is. We replace them when they can't hold the full run time.

Can you put in new emergency lights?

Yes, we supply and install battery units and exit signs. Anything that needs new wiring we'll flag for an electrician.
