Emergency lighting allows people to leave a building safely when normal power fails. It is more than an exit sign: escape routes, open areas and high-risk task zones require separate assessment.
Core design elements
Exit directions must remain visible, required illumination must be maintained along the route, and shadowed hazards removed. Battery duration should suit the building type and evacuation strategy.
Testing and records
Functional and duration tests should be scheduled and documented. Central monitoring identifies failed luminaires quickly and reduces maintenance time across large sites.
