Lighting installation: energy sources and direct controls

Installing luminaires and emergency lighting combines overhead work from steps or MEWPs with wiring that may become energised during commissioning.

High-energy check

Fittings and tools dropped from ceiling height can exceed injury thresholds. Circuits energised for testing elsewhere add electrical exposure this tool does not calculate.

Run the gravity calculator for this task

Trigger checks

Electrical
Current, voltage, energisation, arc flash or stored electrical energy.

Direct controls to verify

Ticks stay on this screen only. Nothing is saved or sent.

The circuit is proven dead at the point of work before connection.
Fittings are supported until fully fixed.
Tools and fixings at height are tethered or contained.
The area below the work is excluded or protected.
Access equipment matches the work height, not stretched reach.
Stop if a circuit is found live when expected dead.

For your SPA or pre-start

State the work height and access method, how fittings and tools are secured, and how the circuit is proven dead before connection work.
