More on Emergency Light Testing

What is an emergency lighting test key used for? Open

It’s used to activate the test switch on an emergency lighting circuit, simulating a power failure so you can verify the lights operate correctly in an emergency.

How do I test emergency lighting with a test key? Open

Insert the key into the test switch and turn it to simulate a mains power loss. The emergency lights should stay on for the required duration. Release the key to return to normal operation.

Are all emergency lighting test keys the same? Open

No. Most use a standard square or fish-tail design, but compatibility can vary. Always check your test switch type before ordering.

How often should emergency lighting be tested? Open

UK regulations (BS 5266) recommend:

  • Monthly function tests (brief power cut simulation)

  • Annually full discharge tests (lights must stay on for at least 1–3 hours depending on spec)

What happens if the emergency lights don’t come on during testing? Open

This indicates a failure in the battery or circuit. The fitting should be repaired or replaced immediately to ensure safety compliance. See our range of Emergency Lighting
