Emergency Light & Generator Experts

90-Minute Stress Test

Batteries degrade over time. We perform the required 90-minute drain test to ensure your exit signs stay lit long enough for everyone to evacuate safely.

Generator Load Banking

Diesel stagnation kills generators. We hook up a load bank to run your generator at full capacity, burning off wet-stacking carbon deposits and proving reliability.

Direct Brycer Submission

We handle the bureaucratic headache. Our team submits all official Annual Emergency Power reports directly to The Compliance Engine (Brycer).

What's Included in Your Los Angeles Emergency Power & Lighting Test

Annual NFPA 101 emergency lighting battery tests, NFPA 110 generator load bank testing, Regulation 4 and Title 19 certification, exit sign inspection, and battery replacement — handled for commercial and multi-family buildings across Los Angeles County.

Annual 90-Minute Battery Test

The 90-minute battery discharge test is the core annual emergency lighting test required by NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) and LAFD Chief's Regulation 4. Technicians simulate a full power outage and verify that every emergency light and exit sign stays illuminated for the required 90-minute duration. Units that dim, flicker, or go dark before the full 90 minutes are flagged for battery or ballast replacement. We test every fixture in your building — stairwells, corridors, parking structures, and common areas.

Generator Load Bank Testing

Generator load bank testing runs your emergency standby generator at full rated capacity using a portable resistive load bank. This verifies the engine, alternator, fuel system, and cooling system can actually deliver rated power when the building needs it. Load banking also burns off wet-stacking carbon deposits that accumulate from light-load weekly exercise runs. For diesel generators, we monitor exhaust temperature, oil pressure, and coolant temperature throughout the test and document everything for your NFPA 110 records.

NFPA 110 Emergency Power Compliance

NFPA 110 is the national standard for emergency and standby power systems that governs generator testing, maintenance, and record-keeping. It requires monthly no-load exercise, annual load testing to at least 30% of nameplate rating (or load bank to full rated load), fuel system verification, transfer switch testing, and documented maintenance logs. Our testing and documentation satisfy NFPA 110 Chapter 8 requirements so your generator records hold up at LAFD inspection.

Exit Sign Inspection & Battery Replacement

Exit signs are the first line of egress guidance during a power outage. We visually inspect every exit sign for legibility, proper mounting, and correct directional arrow orientation, then test the internal battery by disconnecting AC power and confirming the sign stays lit for the full 90-minute duration. Dead or weak batteries are replaced on-site — we carry standard 4Ah, 7Ah, and 12Ah sealed lead-acid batteries and NiCad packs for instant swap. LED retrofit kits are available for buildings still running incandescent signs.

Regulation 4 & Title 19 Certification

Regulation 4 is LAFD's local rule requiring annual emergency power and lighting testing with results reported through The Compliance Engine (Brycer). Title 19 is the California state fire marshal's code that sets the technical testing standard. Both apply to commercial buildings in Los Angeles, and we certify under both in a single visit — test every fixture, document results, file the report electronically, and affix the compliance sticker on your electrical panel.

Emergency Power FAQ

What is a 90-minute battery test?

Answer: Reg 4 requires all emergency exit signs and egress lighting to stay illuminated for a full 90 minutes during a simulated power outage. We drain them to verify they last the full duration.

Why do I need to load bank my generator?

Answer: Generators that only run lightly (during weekly tests) build up carbon ("wet stacking"). Load banking runs them at 100% capacity to burn this off and prove they can actually power your building in an emergency.

Do you replace batteries?

Answer: Yes, we carry standard 4Ah, 7Ah, and 12Ah sealed lead-acid batteries, as well as NiCad packs for exit signs. We can usually swap dead batteries on the same visit.

How often is testing required?

Answer: Emergency lighting and generators require an Annual certification test under Los Angeles Regulation 4.

What is NFPA 110 and how does it apply to my building?

Answer: NFPA 110 is the national standard for emergency and standby power systems. It sets the testing, maintenance, and record-keeping requirements for emergency generators, including monthly exercise runs, annual load testing, fuel system checks, and transfer switch verification. LAFD inspectors reference NFPA 110 when reviewing your Regulation 4 generator records.

What does NFPA 101 require for emergency lighting?

Answer: NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) requires emergency lighting in all means of egress. The annual functional test is a full 90-minute battery discharge to prove each unit maintains at least one foot-candle of illumination along the egress path. Monthly 30-second visual tests are also required to confirm each unit activates when AC power is removed.

What is the difference between Regulation 4 and Title 19 for emergency power?

Answer: Regulation 4 is LAFD's local rule requiring annual testing and reporting through The Compliance Engine (Brycer). Title 19 is the California state fire marshal's code that sets the technical testing standard. Both apply to commercial buildings in Los Angeles, and we certify under both in a single visit.

What happens if emergency lights fail the 90-minute test?

Answer: Units that dim, flicker, or go dark before the full 90 minutes need battery or ballast replacement. Our trucks carry universal replacement batteries and LED retrofit kits so we can fix most failures on the same visit. We document every deficiency and repair in your compliance report.

How much does emergency power and lighting testing cost in Los Angeles?

Answer: Cost depends on the number of emergency light fixtures and exit signs in your building, whether you have a generator that requires load bank testing, and the extent of any battery replacements needed. Send us the building address and we return a written quote within 24 hours.
