What's included

What NFPA 101 requires

The Life Safety Code requires periodic testing of emergency lighting — monthly functional checks and an annual 90-minute full-discharge test. Letting it lapse risks code violations, and worse, a dark stairwell during a real evacuation.

Proactive battery and bulb replacement costs a fraction of an emergency callback — and nothing compared to a failed egress path.

Common questions

How often does emergency lighting need to be tested?

Monthly functional (push-button) checks plus an annual 90-minute full battery discharge test, per NFPA 101.

What if a unit fails the 90-minute test?

Usually it's the battery. We carry common replacements, swap it on the spot where possible, and retest before we leave.

Do you document the testing?

Yes — every unit is logged, and you receive a complete report suitable for the fire marshal and insurance.

When did your exit lights last run 90 minutes?

If you're not sure, it's time.
