Beacon by Monolith
Offline-first emergency lighting testing & logbook for UK contractors and competent persons — built for plant rooms, basements, and honest monthly and annual programmes.
Free in open beta · No card · Takes a few minutes to add a site
Built for contractors, competent persons, and multi-site managers.
The mess
Most teams still stitch visits together after the fact. Due dates slip. Duration tests get “cleared” without a real discharge. Defects vanish into last month’s PDF.
See Beacon
One organisation, one sync backend. Technicians work offline in the Field PWA. Managers oversee sites, history, team, and certificates on desktop.

How it works
Create a site or import fittings from a logbook spreadsheet. Set switches, Site IDs, and tracking.
Monthly function or timed annual by test switch — offline in the Field app, with results as you go.
Download the visit PIR or site periodic certificate. Sync when you’re back online. Due dates stay honest.
The paperwork
Sample previews of the real compliance layout — titles, refs, lettered sections, and sign-off. Issue these from a real visit in the app; once locked, the PDF matches what was signed on site.

Capabilities
Specialist depth for monthly function and timed annual programmes — not a generic cert form with an EL template bolted on.
Offline
Test without signal; sync to your organisation when you’re back online. Install from the browser.
Monthly
Pass or fail every fitting. Incomplete visits don’t falsely clear monthly compliance.
Annual
Real discharge timers locked to site design duration. Annual due clears only when switches finish.
Documents
Test report, visit PIR, and periodic certificate — immutable once issued. See samples.
Defects
Failures stay on a living site register until closed — without rewriting issued PDFs.
Console
Import fittings, set switches and duration, invite technicians, and brand exports with your company details.
