Frequently Asked Questions — Emergency Lighting North Brisbane

What are the requirements for emergency lighting in Queensland?

In Queensland, emergency and exit lighting in commercial buildings must be designed and installed to AS/NZS 2293.1 and the National Construction Code (NCC/BCA Part E4), then inspected and tested every six months under AS/NZS 2293.2 with results recorded in an on-site log book. The building owner or occupier is responsible for keeping the system maintained and the records available, under the Electrical Safety Act 2002 and the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008. All work must be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor — Connex holds QLD Electrical Contractor Licence #92217.

How much do emergency lights cost?

Emergency and exit lighting is quoted per site rather than at a fixed per-light price, because cost depends on the number of fittings and exit signs required, whether the system is self-contained or central-battery, building access, and whether it is a new install or an upgrade to an existing system. Connex provides a free on-site assessment and a fixed-price quote up front, so you know the full cost before any work starts. Ongoing 6-monthly compliance testing is quoted separately as a scheduled program.

Do emergency lights need their own circuit in Australia?

Emergency lighting must be wired so it operates independently when normal power fails. Self-contained emergency luminaires have their own battery in each fitting and are typically supplied from the local final sub-circuit they monitor, while central-battery systems run from a dedicated supply. The exact arrangement is set by AS/NZS 2293.1 — a licensed electrician designs the wiring so the emergency lights and exit signs activate automatically on mains failure, which is the whole point of the system.

How often does emergency lighting need to be tested?

Every six months. AS/NZS 2293.2 requires a routine service twice a year, including a full-duration discharge test that confirms each luminaire and exit sign runs for its rated emergency duration (commonly 90 minutes). Connex records every result in your log book and flags any fitting that fails so it can be repaired or replaced before your next inspection.

What is an emergency lighting log book and do I need one?

Yes — it is a mandatory record of every 6-monthly test, listing each fitting, the test result and any maintenance done. Inspectors, insurers and body corporate managers can ask to see it, and a missing or incomplete log book is one of the most common compliance failures we find. Connex sets one up and keeps it current as part of our testing program.

Which buildings need emergency and exit lighting?

Most commercial and public buildings: offices, retail, warehouses, factories, medical and aged-care facilities, schools, and multi-storey residential (apartment common areas). The NCC/BCA determines the exact requirement by building Class and size. If you are unsure, Connex will assess your building free and tell you exactly what is required.

Can you upgrade or repair an existing emergency lighting system?

Yes. We repair failed luminaires and exit signs, replace aged batteries, retrofit modern LED emergency fittings, and bring older or non-compliant systems up to current AS/NZS 2293.1 standard — then document it all so your building passes its next inspection.

Do you service commercial buildings across North Brisbane?

Yes. Connex installs, tests and maintains emergency lighting across North Brisbane and Moreton Bay — North Lakes, Mango Hill, Kallangur, Murrumba Downs, Petrie, Burpengary, Brendale, Narangba, Morayfield, Caboolture, Redcliffe and surrounding commercial zones — with same-day and 24/7 response.
