Frequently asked questions

What makes emergency lighting code-compliant under NFPA 101? +

Emergency lights must illuminate egress paths (hallways, exits, stairs) at 1 foot-candle for 90 minutes on battery backup. Exit signs must be illuminated continuously. We install NFPA-compliant units and annual 90-minute test logs per code.

How often do emergency lights and batteries need replacement? +

Batteries: typically every 5–7 years (or per manufacturer). Annual 90-minute test is required — if lights dim below spec, we replace batteries sooner. LED fixtures often outlast buildings. We log every test for compliance audits.

Do emergency lights add much to a commercial electrical project cost? +

Depends on building size. Small office (5–10 lights): $1,500–$2,500. Larger commercial: $5,000–$10,000+. Cost is usually <10% of total electrical budget but non-negotiable for code compliance and life safety.
