Emergency Exit Lights – Inspection, Maintenance & Compliance Solutions

Emergency exit lights are a critical component of fire and life safety systems in commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. Local building codes and insurance regulations require these systems to be installed, inspected, and maintained regularly to ensure they function during emergencies. At Kun’An, we offer expert guidance in selecting, testing, and maintaining emergency exit lighting systems to help you stay compliant and protect occupants. Whether you're managing a warehouse, hospital, school, or apartment complex, our tailored solutions ensure that every exit route remains visible and operational in any situation.

Why Emergency Exit Lighting Is Mandatory

Emergency exit lights serve as a life-saving measure during power failures, fires, and other emergencies by guiding occupants toward the nearest exit. According to fire safety standards and insurance policies, all public and commercial buildings must have emergency exit signs and lighting installed in accordance with local and national codes.

These systems are essential in:

• Office buildings

• Manufacturing facilities

• Hospitals and clinics

• Educational institutions

• Residential complexes (multi-family units)

Monthly and Annual Inspection Requirements

Monthly Visual and Functional Checks

Facility managers or designated personnel must inspect all exit and emergency lights at least once a month. A 30-second functional test on each battery-powered unit is required to confirm operation. If defects are found, corrective actions must be taken immediately to ensure safety compliance.

Annual Testing by Certified Technicians

Annual maintenance is more comprehensive. All battery-operated exit lights must undergo a 90-minute full-function test, simulating a power outage by disconnecting the AC power supply. Additional inspection tasks include:

• Cleaning lenses and casings

• Checking for corrosion on batteries and terminals

• Verifying beam alignment and brightness

• Testing charging system voltage

• Measuring battery voltage output
