NFPA 101 requires monthly visual checks and an annual 90-minute load test on every emergency light.
What We Test

Annual NFPA 101
Load Test & Inspection

Every commercial building requires annual testing of every emergency light and exit sign. The full 90-minute load test confirms your battery backups will actually run for the required duration when the power goes out. Most buildings have at least one unit that fails.

Annual 90-minute load test on every battery backup unit
Replacement of failed batteries on the spot when possible
Documentation log entry for every test, every unit

FAQ

Emergency Light FAQ

What's a 90-minute load test?

NFPA 101 requires every battery-backup emergency light and exit sign to demonstrate it can run on battery power for 90 minutes continuously, once per year. We disable the AC supply and time each unit. Failed batteries get replaced.

How do I know if a unit failed?

Most fail silently. The status LED stays green even when the battery is dead. The only reliable way to know is the annual 90-minute test or a real power outage, by which point it's too late.

Can I do the test myself?

Monthly 30-second functional tests, yes. The annual 90-minute load test should be performed and documented by a licensed fire protection professional, especially for fire marshal records.

Do exit signs really need batteries?

If the sign marks a required egress, yes. Photoluminescent exit signs are an exception in some jurisdictions, but most Ohio commercial buildings need illuminated exit signs with battery backup at every required exit.
