Emergency Lighting Test Completed for Ipswich Bank Branch (Suffolk)

We carried out an emergency lighting test for a bank branch in Ipswich town centre, recently. The annual three hour discharge test uncovered two escape route fittings that could not hold charge for the full duration. We flagged the fault, replaced the fittings and confirmed the branch was compliant. Call us on 01245 377 625 for emergency lighting testing in Ipswich.

Did you know? A short walk from the branch sits Cornhill, Ipswich's historic town square, home to the Grade II listed Lloyds Bank building, built in 1889, and the town's regular market.

The branch's facilities team booked us in to get their emergency lighting compliant ahead of an internal audit. With customer areas and cash handling zones to work around, the discharge test had to happen after the branch closed. Two fittings in the escape corridor dropped out before the required three hours were up, which meant they would not have lasted through a real power failure. We replaced both fittings on the same visit and re-tested everything before signing the branch off as compliant.

We are always pleased to help branches in central Ipswich stay on top of their compliance without affecting the working day.
