Guest Tomcous Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hello We have 2 emergency lights in our office which I assumed the landlord was looking after. The landlord has now been in touch to say we need to look after the emergency lighting. It seems that by law we only need emergency lighting if there is a serious risk present in the event of loss of power. I don't believe there to be a risk and so don't feel there is a need for the lights. Can I leave the lights in the office untested or do I need to remove them? Many thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-foam Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 There is one sure way to check if you should keep your emergency lights, turn all the other lights off, can you see your way out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
