Emergency & Exit Lighting Installation, Testing & Maintenance
In an emergency, visibility can mean the difference between safety and disaster. Emergency and exit lighting guides occupants out of a building when power fails, smoke reduces visibility, or a fire requires immediate evacuation. At FCF Fire & Electrical, we provide complete installation, testing, and servicing of emergency and exit lighting systems, ensuring your building is safe and compliant at all times.
Compliance You Can Trust
Emergency escape lighting and exit signs are required to comply with AS2293: Emergency Escape Lighting and Exit Signs for Buildings and signage requirements under AS1319. Our qualified team tests and maintains all lighting systems to these standards, ensuring batteries, globes, and wiring are functioning correctly and that your premises passes required inspections.
How can we help?
Our emergency and exit lighting services cover every aspect of compliance and safe
evacuation, including:

FAQs
Why is emergency and exit lighting important?
Emergency and exit lighting ensures safe evacuation during power outages or emergencies by clearly guiding occupants to exits and safety points. It’s a vital part of any compliant fire safety system.
How often should emergency and exit lights be tested?
According to Australian Standard AS 2293.2, emergency and exit lighting must be tested every six months to confirm lights operate for the required 90-minute duration. FCF provides scheduled maintenance to keep your systems compliant.
What happens during an emergency lighting inspection?
Our technicians perform a full function test, simulate a power outage, verify battery backup operation, and check that all lights illuminate and signage is visible. Any faults or non-compliant fittings are promptly reported and repaired.
Can I replace emergency or exit light fittings myself?
No. Only licensed electricians trained in emergency lighting systems should install or replace fittings. DIY work may result in non-compliance and safety risks. Our team handles all replacements and upgrades to Australian Standards.
What types of emergency and exit lighting systems are available?
We supply and maintain a full range, including standalone fittings, centrally monitored systems, and LED energy-efficient options, all designed to meet your building’s specific compliance and evacuation requirements.
