Emergency & Exit Lighting Installation, Testing & Maintenance
In an emergency, visibility can mean the difference between safety and disaster. Emergency and exit lighting plays a critical role in guiding occupants safely out of a building when power fails, smoke reduces visibility, or a fire requires immediate evacuation. Properly maintained emergency and exit lighting systems help minimise confusion, support safe egress, and ensure compliance with Australian Standards.
At FCF Fire & Electrical, we provide complete emergency and exit lighting installation, testing, maintenance, and compliance services for commercial, industrial, and residential properties throughout Sydney. Our experienced technicians ensure your emergency and exit lighting systems are operating correctly, regularly tested, and ready to perform when needed most. With proactive servicing and compliance inspections, we help building owners and managers maintain a safe environment while meeting all regulatory requirements.
Compliance You Can Trust
Emergency and exit lighting systems and exit signs are required to comply with AS 2293, Emergency Escape Lighting and Exit Signs for Buildings, as well as signage requirements under AS 1319. Regular testing and maintenance of emergency and exit lighting is essential to ensure these systems operate effectively during an emergency and continue to meet all compliance obligations.
At FCF Fire & Electrical, our qualified technicians inspect, test, and maintain emergency and exit lighting systems to the relevant Australian Standards. We thoroughly assess batteries, luminaires, exit signs, wiring, and control equipment to ensure everything is functioning correctly and ready to perform when needed. Through scheduled testing and preventative maintenance, we help ensure your premises remains compliant, passes required inspections, and provides a safe evacuation path for occupants.

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.
