Emergency Lighting Emergency Lighting is lighting that is installed in a building to provide a degree of illumination when the normal lighting fails. In terms of fire safety the most important component of an emergency lighting is the “escape lighting” which is provided to illuminate escape routes to an extent sufficient to enable occupants to evacuate the building in safety. Under BS 5266 Part 1, there are recommendations for routine inspection and testing of emergency lighting. This includes daily, monthly, six monthly and three yearly regimes of inspection and/or testing.
