Panel Question
Self-testing emergency lights have a higher capital cost compared to traditional fittings. What can Members do at procurement stage to reduce the whole life cost?

Emergency Lighting
Escape Lighting -• Lighting provision to enable safe evacuation of a building in the event of mains
failure • Lighting should be tested and maintained regularly• The most senior person in the building is responsible for all emergency lighting
Test Requirements -
The solutions
• Key Test• Self Test• Central Reporting• Centrally Monitored
There are a number of options available for safe and maintained emergency lighting solutions
Key Test
• Manual Activation• Runs from the battery during every test• Client must perform visual, walk-around test and log all
results• Batteries must be given time to recharge
• Slow• Costly• Labour intensive
Self Test – Good Solution
• Luminaires automatically carry out required testing
• Function testing every 7 days• Annual duration test• Indicator LED indicates last test information• Green LED is good, Red LED indicated a fail• Flash rate determines test mode or fault
type
• Testing is random and uncontrolled• A walk-around visual check is still required• Can still be costly
Central Reporting – Better Solution
• Self test luminaires • Wireless reporting• Indicates current emergency
luminaire status• Indicates fault type
• No walk-around • No scheduling• Test logs must be manually recorded
Central Monitoring - Best
• DALI EM PRO or equivalent Invertors• DALI wiring to control system• Indicates current emergency
luminaire status• Indicates fault type
• No walk-around • Tests are scheduled• Emergency luminaires can be
rationalised for resilience• Fully automated
Summary and Questions
• Key test is slow and labour intensive
• Self test removes the need to witness function and duration testing
• Central reporting removes the need to walk around the floor/building
• Central monitoring schedules full testing regime and provides Realtime feedback

Chris Rutter, Contract Compliance Manager at Silva Homes
Existing Stock
• 121 Building with existing Emergency Evacuation Lighting
• In some cases in addition to communal lighting
• 10 Monthly Flicks
• 1 x 6 Monthly 1 Hour Burn (Optional)
• 1 x Yearly 3 Hour Burn
• New Fire Risk Assessor has so far identified
• 115 Blocks that require Emergency Evacuation Lighting
• Estimated how many luminaries required
Testing
• In house DLO complete testing programme
• Little or no capacity for additional testing
• Each block costs £570 per year to test (Internal Charge)
• Many blocks are outside of our core area
• So travel time decreases productivity
• Self Testing & Self Reporting is the future
Cost Benefit
• Each block costs £570 per year
• 115 blocks to install = £65,550 per year to test!!!
• New system has seven year warranty
• Which will save £458,850 over seven years
• This cover virtually all of the cost of the new system
• Lower running costs due to LED technology, will provide a saving
• To be determined
• New system is both communal and emergency lighting
• Microwave controlled sensor
• 10% illumination at night to deter ASB
Other Benefits
• Procured via Fusion21 Framework
• Part of a wider Electrical Programme which includes
• Access Control
• Emergency Lighting
• EICR Testing
• Solar Panel Servicing
• New system is both communal and emergency lighting
• Microwave controlled sensor
