Emergency light testing

[Fw18]

We have a sparky who tests all our lights and does draindown etc. Might be worth looking at how much that would cost you.

I have, works out about £800 a month for the local electricians to do the walk on/off quick test.

You don't need a Sparky to do the monthly flick test, I imagine you're talking about the 6 monthly and annual 3 hour test.

You don't need a Sparky for the monthly flick test , just divide the areas up and do a percentage when you are locking and unlocking , it's a quick on /Off

Correct you don't we use them as they do us a good deal for over the year including drain down. Plus i have more time to do other things.

Thanks for all the feed back. I have no issue with doing the test myself, it's just time to do it, given the few spare hours we have. Do you use any kind of auditing software for keeping records of tests?
