Any gates or outdoor areas receiving security lights should also be unlocked and unobstructed before arrival. - **Fitting and testing on site:** We isolate relevant circuits safely, mount fittings securely, and connect the wiring.

Under UK standards, emergency lighting should have a brief functional flick test every month to check lamps illuminate from the battery. A full rated duration test, usually three hours, must be carried out annually. We help businesses across Derby, Swadlincote and Burton upon Trent stay compliant by conducting these annual tests and logging the results. ### What happens if a battery in an emergency light fails? If an emergency luminaire fails to hold charge for the required period during testing, the internal battery pack or the whole fitting must be replaced. We identify failing units during the test and provide an honest cost to swap them for modern, low-energy LED units. ### Where should exterior security lights be positioned? Security lights are most effective when mounted above head height covering vulnerable entry points such as back doors, side alleys, and dark driveway sections. Motion sensors should be positioned to avoid triggering on passing public footpath traffic. ### Can emergency lights also function as standard everyday lighting? Yes. Maintained emergency fittings operate as standard lights during everyday use and remain lit when mains power fails. Non-maintained fittings stay unlit until a mains power failure occurs, which is common in stairwells and dedicated fire exits. ## Business facts - Service area: Swadlincote, Burton upon Trent, Derby, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton, Birmingham - Hours: Calls answered 24/7 - Phone: +447450316338 - Email: rob@re-energizeelectrical.co.uk - Insurance: Public liability £2M, Employers' liability £10M, Professional indemnity £500K - Qualifications: Level 3 Award in the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018, City and Guilds, 2022 ## Book or ask a question - [Book Now](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/#chat) ## Related services - [Lighting installation](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/lighting-installation) - [EICR](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/eicr) - [Smoke alarm installation](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/smoke-alarm-installation) - [Consumer unit replacement](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/fuse-board-replacement)
