Emergency Lighting Saves Lives

Emergency lighting luminaires and modules can help to save lives. They should be constructed in accordance with appropriate standards and correctly installed in accordance with correct performance data.

Emergency lighting is an essential part of the building services installation.

To ensure the system is well designed and as reliable as possible, planning is important through all phases of the project, from considering legal requirements to final commissioning and maintenance.

The purpose of the installation is to ensure that lighting is provided promptly, automatically and for a suitable time in a specific area when normal power supply to the lighting fails. The purpose of the installation is to ensure that:-

• The means of escape can be safely identified and effectively used.
• Activities in particularly hazardous workplaces can be terminated safely.
• Emergency actions can be effectively carried out in the workplace at appropriate locations.
