Emergency Lighting
Maintained
Emergency lighting is a self-descriptive term and is lighting for an emergency situation when the main power supply fails. The loss of mains electricity could be the result of a fire or a power cut and the normal lighting supplies fail. This may lead to sudden darkness and a possible danger to the occupants, either through physical danger or panic. Emergency Lighting is a means of secondary illumination that must be provided immediately, when the power supply to the normal lighting fails. The minimum backup duration of emergency lighting is specified by local regulations and is generally between 1 and 3 hours.
Most emergency lighting schemes fall into one of the following categories:-
- Non-maintained - The emergency light units only illuminate in the event of a mains failure.
- Maintained - The emergency light units are illuminated at all times using the same lamps for both normal and emergency operation.
We can provide a full maintenance service on all types of emergency lighting, together with design and installation facilities where required.
