Emergency Lighting - Testing & Maintenance Services

The skilled team at Matt Browning Ltd – Electrical Contractors recently carried out a full replacement of the emergency lighting installation within a local GP surgery.

Matt Browning Ltd - Electrical Contractors were appointed to carry out the work after formal testing of the emergency lighting showed that over 50% of the aged lighting was ineffective – either not functioning at all, or not illuminating for the required duration.


When the original emergency lighting was installed over 40 years ago, no test switches were provided so the user was unable to carry out routine tests. To avoid costly and disruptive rewiring, we proposed emergency lighting products with an integral self-test function. These automatically test battery condition and functionality without manual intervention – saving on wiring costs and routine testing resources.


Products were selected from the Ovia lighting range from established manufacturer Scolmore Group.



The facilities manager at the site commented:

“Thanks for doing such a good job for us, there was absolutely no mess left and all our systems are working as usual. As you assured us, all our critical systems were unaffected by the work, for which I am very grateful.”


Working outside normal surgery hours to avoid disruption to staff and patients, our electricians installed and tested over 40 replacement emergency lights. On completion of the work we provided full electrical certification, as-installed emergency lighting layout drawings and a site-specific log book in our O&M manual – helping our client demonstrate compliance and ensuring hassle-free future maintenance.


At Matt Browning Ltd. our staff are qualified and experienced in emergency lighting design and work with a range of manufacturers to provide solutions for every client. Our team undertakes regular CPD training to keep up to date with the latest regulatory and technological changes.
