Exit Box Emergency Lighting FAQs

How often do LED exit box emergency lights need testing?

LED exit box emergency lights should be given a short monthly function test and a full annual test that runs the unit for its complete rated duration. We recommend logging every test to meet BS 5266 and to support your fire risk assessment records.

How long do these LED exit box emergency lights operate during a power cut?

Our LED exit box emergency lights provide a minimum of three hours of illumination during a power cut, in line with UK standards for most commercial buildings. This gives occupants clear visibility of escape routes throughout an evacuation.

What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained exit boxes?

A maintained exit box stays lit at all times, on mains power and during an outage, while a non-maintained exit box only illuminates when the mains supply fails. Maintained units suit public-facing spaces such as retail and leisure, whereas non-maintained units are common in warehouses and plant rooms.

Which buildings require emergency exit box lighting?

Most non-domestic buildings, including commercial, industrial, retail and sports premises, require emergency exit box lighting under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment will confirm the exact placement needed along escape routes and final exits.

What is the lifespan of LED exit box emergency lights?

LED exit box emergency lights typically last 50,000 hours or more, often delivering over a decade of service before the LED output needs replacing. The backup battery has a shorter life and is usually replaced every four to five years.

Can these exit box lights be wall or ceiling mounted?

Yes, our exit box lights can be wall, ceiling or end mounted, with many offering double-sided or hanging options for flexible positioning. This lets you site each unit for the clearest sightline along the escape route.

What warranty is available on these exit box emergency lights?

Our exit box emergency lights come with a manufacturer warranty, typically between three and five years depending on the model. Full warranty details are listed on each product page so you can compare before you buy.

What is the installation process of LED exit box emergency lights?

LED exit box emergency lights must be wired and fitted by a qualified electrician in line with UK wiring and fire safety regulations. We supply the products and can advise on your lighting design, but we do not carry out installation ourselves.
