Maintaining Your Emergency Exit Lighting System

by Cooper Clark on May 24, 2017

Did you know that the batteries in your emergency exit lights, like people, may get low on electrolytes? And just like the human body, your lighting system may not work so well either, when it becomes deficient.                exit not illuminated (b).jpg                                                                                                                                                   

Besides checking the electrolyte levels in your batteries, they should be tested and terminals need to be clear of corrosion or other debris. Gel-type batteries need to be "cycled." When replacing batteries, properly disposed of the old ones in compliance with EPA standards.

Test any chargers on your system and of course, test the lamps. Chargers may need to be re-calibrated. Check the direction of all lamps. Are they pointing in the most effective manner to light the signs and the path of egress?

Emergency exit lighting systems also need to be inspected regularly to keep you in compliance with regulations.

This might sound like a lot of work and worry. Lots of "what-ifs" ride on the system. But it doesn't have to be a problem. Lighting Services, Inc. technicians have the training to maintain your system and provide the inspections required to keep your facility up to code.

These helpful professionals will attach inspection certificates thoughtfully so they will not detract from the building's ambiance. They also provide detailed reports of the work they do. They will replace parts with your approval, warranting the new ones for three years.

During the six months between regularly scheduled maintenance visits, LSI will repair any deficiencies for no additional labor or travel cost.

Just like maintaining your health, your lighting system needs regular care. Consider contracting with true, thoughtful professionals, so you won't have to wonder if the lights will come on when you most need them.
