Emergency Lighting Inspection FAQs for Oklahoma City Businesses

How often do emergency lights need to be tested? NFPA 101 requires monthly 30-second function tests and annual 90-minute full-duration tests for all emergency and exit lighting units. Oklahoma enforces these intervals through the State Fire Marshal.

What is a 90-minute emergency light test? The annual 90-minute test simulates a full power failure by disconnecting normal power and confirming that each emergency light and exit sign stays illuminated at required brightness for the full 90 minutes — the time needed for safe evacuation.

Do you repair emergency lights? No. We test and document. If a unit fails, we record the deficiency and recommend repair or replacement by a qualified electrician. We can re-test after repairs to confirm compliance.

Can building staff perform the monthly test? Yes. The monthly 30-second function test can be performed by trained building staff. The annual 90-minute test should be performed by a qualified technician with proper documentation.
