Full Duration Emergency Lighting Testing
In addition to regular monthly tests (also known as a flick test) to be carried out by the person responsible for fire safety, yearly full-duration discharge tests are required.
Full duration tests involve checking that the lighting unit activates correctly in a simulated loss of power situation and stays on for the rated duration of the battery, usually 3 hours. After testing the luminaire is returned to its stand-by state.
