What Is Emergency Lighting?
Emergency lighting is a life safety system designed to illuminate escape routes, emergency exits, fire equipment points, and open areas in the event of a mains power failure. It is an essential component of any non-domestic building's fire safety strategy and is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Emergency lighting includes:
-
Escape route lighting (to guide occupants to exits)
-
Open area lighting (to reduce panic in larger spaces)
-
High-risk task area lighting (where sudden darkness may be dangerous)
-
Exit signs and emergency bulkheads
