What is Emergency Lighting?
Emergency Lighting is a type of Life Safety system that provides lighting when normal electrical lighting fails, such as when there is a fire or a power outage. Emergency Lighting means that occupants of a building are not trapped in complete darkness and the exit route is clearly visible. Emergency Lighting is typically required in order to ensure a safe evacuation in an emergency.
The two primary types of Emergency Lighting are:
- Emergency Escape Lighting: Lighting that ensures a safe exit when normal electrical lighting fails. This lighting is part of the fire protection of a building.
- Standby Lighting: Lighting that enables normal activity to continue when normal electrical lighting fails. This lighting is not classed as part of the fire protection of a building.
British Standard 5266-1 states that Emergency Lighting is mandatory in any public building or wherever people are employed. This includes:
- Schools
- Hospitals
- Offices
- Shops
- Factories
- Public areas of accommodation buildings
- Places of worship
- Theatres
- Pubs & restaurants
Private residential housing does not normally require Emergency Lighting.
How does Emergency Lighting work?
Emergency Lighting is connected to the building’s main electrical supply, which charges the battery. When a power outage occurs, the circuit is triggered, and the lights are activated.
