Overview
Lights That Lead the Way Out
When the power goes out during a fire or storm, your exit signs and emergency lights guide customers and staff to safety. They’re easy to forget — until an inspector presses the test button and nothing happens.
A&A tests, maintains, and repairs exit signs and emergency lighting throughout your building. We replace failed batteries and bulbs, fix or replace units that don’t pass, install new fixtures where coverage is missing, and keep written test records for your inspections.
What’s Included
- Functional testing of every exit sign and emergency light
- 90-minute annual duration testing
- Battery and lamp replacement
- Repair or replacement of failed units
- New fixture installation where coverage is missing
- Written test records for inspectors
Why It Matters
Testing Is Required — and So Are the Records
NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, requires battery-powered emergency lighting to be tested regularly, with written records kept on site:
| Test | How often |
|---|---|
| 30-second functional test | Monthly |
| 90-minute full-duration test | Annually |
Batteries in emergency fixtures typically last a few years. A unit that lights up for a few seconds may still fail the 90-minute test — which is why full-duration testing matters.

Questions & Answers
Emergency Exit Lighting FAQ
How often do exit signs and emergency lights need to be tested?
NFPA 101 calls for a 30-second functional test every month and a 90-minute full-duration test every year, with written records of each test.
Our exit sign lights up. Why did it fail inspection?
The battery may not last the full 90 minutes required, or the unit may not switch over properly when power is lost. Our annual testing catches these problems before your inspector does.
Can you install new exit signs?
Yes. We install new exit signs and emergency lights, including combination units, wherever coverage is needed or old fixtures have failed.
Do you provide records for our fire inspection?
Yes. We provide written test records you can keep on site and show your inspector.
