Emergency lighting is the lighting that activates automatically when normal power fails — escape route signage, stairwell lights, exit lights. BS 5266 requires monthly visual checks and an annual full-discharge test.
Without certified emergency lighting, your fire risk assessment is incomplete and an HMO licence can be refused or revoked.
