Emergency Lighting Success at Cineworld Boldon
The Challenge
Cineworld Boldon needed a routine 3-hour emergency lighting discharge test – a standard requirement to ensure safety and legal compliance. During the check, the system unexpectedly failed. The emergency lights didn’t hold up for the full duration, signalling a deeper issue.
The priority became clear: find the fault, fix it fast, and avoid disruption to daily cinema operations.
Our Solution
Our team quickly diagnosed the issue – a faulty charger module inside the emergency lighting static inverter system. It wasn’t allowing the battery bank to fully recharge, resulting in underperformance during testing.
We:
- Carried out safe isolation and removal of the faulty charger module
- Installed a new, manufacturer-approved replacement
- Conducted full voltage and charge checks
- Retested the entire system with a 3-hour discharge test
The system passed all benchmarks, and performance was fully restored.
