UPS & Central Battery Systems for Emergency Lighting
Reliable backup power when normal lighting fails
Emergency lighting provides essential illumination when the normal electrical supply fails, helping people navigate escape routes and leave a building safely.
Where emergency lighting relies on a UPS or central battery system, the condition of that backup power equipment matters. Batteries deteriorate, faults develop and systems that appear operational can have reduced backup capacity.
Uninterrupted Power Solutions provides UPS installation, UPS maintenance, UPS battery replacement, system testing and central battery system support across the UK.
We work with facilities teams, electrical contractors, building operators and organisations responsible for maintaining critical life safety equipment.

Backup Power for Emergency Lighting
When the normal electrical supply is lost, emergency lighting needs a dependable source of backup power.
Depending on the installation, this may include a central battery system or UPS supplying emergency lighting circuits and associated equipment.
The challenge for facilities teams is knowing whether that backup system remains capable of performing as intended.
UPS batteries have a finite service life. Temperature, age, usage and operating conditions can all affect their condition. Without suitable maintenance and testing, reduced battery capacity or developing faults may remain unnoticed.
Regular inspection and testing provides a clearer picture of system condition and helps identify problems before they’re exposed by a genuine power failure.
How We Support Emergency Lighting Systems
Our technicians can support the backup power equipment throughout its working life:
UPS & Central Battery System Audits
Assessment of existing equipment to establish its condition, battery status and maintenance requirements.
UPS Installation
Supply, installation and commissioning of UPS systems for emergency lighting and other critical applications.
UPS System Testing
Testing of the UPS, batteries, alarms and associated equipment to identify faults and assess system condition.
UPS Battery Replacement
Replacement of ageing or faulty UPS batteries, including removal of the existing battery set.
Central Battery Systems
Support for central battery systems used to provide backup power for emergency lighting applications.
Planned UPS Maintenance
Tailored UPS maintenance plans designed around your equipment, site and operational requirements.
24/7 Nationwide Support
Access to support when a UPS fault or backup power problem requires attention.
Emergency Lighting and BS EN 50171
BS EN 50171 covers central power supply systems intended to provide an independent source of electrical energy to essential safety equipment.
For facilities managers and those responsible for building safety, the backup power equipment supporting emergency lighting needs appropriate consideration alongside the lighting system itself.
Regular UPS maintenance, battery assessment and system testing can help identify deteriorating batteries, UPS faults and other issues that could affect backup power availability.
Our technicians focus on the UPS and central battery equipment, allowing us to work alongside your emergency lighting provider, electrical contractor or facilities team.
Does Your Emergency Lighting Backup System Need Attention?
It may be time to arrange an assessment if:
You don't know when the UPS or central battery system was last maintained.
You don't know when the batteries were last replaced.
The system is displaying a battery or UPS fault.
Backup runtime is unknown.
Maintenance records are incomplete.
Responsibility for the backup power system is unclear.
Your existing emergency lighting contractor doesn't maintain the UPS.
You're responsible for several sites and need a clearer picture of system conditions.
A UPS system audit or system test can provide a practical starting point.
