Emergency lighting is a safety product created to be used in emergency situations and to save lives. It should enable evacuation in a safe and efficient way. Emergency lights come in different designs but all have the common feature of working in the event of a power failure. Emergency lighting is mainly used in public premises but can also be used for home use in the form of mobile lighting solutions such as hand-held spotlights in different strengths.
In public places such as hotels, healthcare facilities and shopping centers, emergency lighting fixtures with pictograms are used to ensure an efficient and clear escape route.
Guidance markings and non-pictogram luminaires are available in a variety of light sources such as LED, fluorescent and photoluminescent signs and are suitable for different environments.
Since 1999, there has been a statutory standard for emergency lighting, SS-EN 1838, which, among other things, clarifies in which premises and locations emergency lighting is an existing requirement. It imposes many detailed rules for safety in emergency situations and explains exactly where the lighting should be located and what the performance of the emergency light should be for different plastics.
Emergency power is usually drawn from a battery in the luminaire or from a centrally located battery and must be usable for 60 minutes. But whether you are looking for an emergency light that supports a central or built-in battery, we have something for your emergency.
