ECA is thrilled to present a Learning Zone webinar in partnership with NVC Lighting UK, offering Members the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of emergency lighting and testing solutions.

This CPD session provides an essential overview of emergency lighting systems, focusing on their critical role in ensuring occupant safety during power outages or emergency situations. Participants will explore what emergency lighting is, including its functions and compliance requirements under safety regulations.

The session will explain why regular testing of emergency lighting systems is mandatory, covering legal obligations, maintenance best practices, and the importance of identifying system failures before emergencies occur.

Attendees will gain insight into the various testing methods available, including:

• Manual Testing – Traditional approach requiring physical inspection and timed switch-off tests.
• Self-Test Systems – Automated functionality that runs basic diagnostics without manual intervention.
• Wireless Addressable Testing – Cutting-edge technology offering remote monitoring, real-time reporting, and minimal disruption.
• Wired DALI Addressable Testing – A robust, hardwired system using the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface for centralised control and fault reporting.
