Questions
Electrical and lighting: common questions
Do I need to change the emergency lighting?
If walls or escape routes move, yes, it must be checked and usually altered. Your fire risk assessment will rely on it.
Is an LED upgrade worth doing during a fit-out?
Usually. The ceiling is already open, and LED panels use far less power than old fluorescent fittings.
What paperwork should I get?
An Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate, plus emergency lighting test records where they apply.
