Ditch theTest Switch& Cut Costs

Hello, Engineers!

At Elumen, we understand that when it comes to designing building specifications, every detail counts. That's why we're excited to introduce our Self-Test range of emergency lighting, which eliminates the need for a test switch. This innovative design delivers instant savings by reducing wiring during installation, and it continues to save you money over the long term as maintenance checks that used to take hours can now be completed in seconds.

For more information on how our Self-Testing technology meets Australian Standards, check out our blog.

Why Remove the Test Switch?

Traditionally, a test switch is used to verify that emergency lighting systems work correctly. This outdated system means extra parts, more wiring, and additional maintenance costs. Our innovative Self-Test technology takes care of all that for you. It automatically performs comprehensive diagnostics so you can be confident in your system's performance without the extra hardware.

Here's What You'll Love:

Cost Savings: Fewer components mean lower material costs and reduced installation labour.
Easier Installation: With fewer parts to install, projects become simpler and faster.
Increased Transparency: Self-Test automatically performs functional tests on emergency lights. It checks everything from battery performance to light output, with results displayed on a status indicator and sent to the Elumen app so any failures can be verified.
Reduced Maintenance: No test switch means there are less potential failure points, plus our 5 year warranty assures the reliability of our parts.

Traditional alterations require wiring a new test switch.

How It Works

Our Self-Test emergency lighting is designed with state-of-the-art technology that takes the guesswork out of system monitoring:

Elumen's Self-Test emergency lights have an internal clock that counts down until the scheduled test time.
At the scheduled time, the fitting will fully discharge until the battery's automatic cut-off is triggered.
The test result is determined by discharge duration and whether it lasts longer than 90 minutes as required by AS/NZS 2293.2 items 2.7 and 2.8.
As soon as a test is complete, an LED indicator on the base of the exit sign or on the end of the batten indicates whether the light has passed. Alternatively, results can be seen through the free Elumen app.

Visual inspection is required for a full fire safety inspection.
