Emergency & Exit Light

Fire
Emergency/Exit lights are being used during a fire to assist people to exit the building quickly and safely. When there is a fire it can be smoky and it might be hard to see.

The emergency/exit lights will show you where the nearest fire exit is.

If the power cuts out the emergency light will illuminate to make it easier to see the exits. Staff needs to know where the fire exits are. They also need to familiarise themselves with where the emergency exit routes and evacuation assembly area is.

Emergency /Exit lights can save lives during a fire.

Power Outage
During a power outage the Emergency system activates by illuminating the emergency/exit lights. It is powered by a battery. Staff can use them to navigate to an exit. In a big building this is especially crucial.

Evacuation
The emergency lights can also be activated if an emergency evacuation is necessary. It can be because of any threats like bomb threats or natural disasters. A clear exit path will be important. Maintained emergency/exit lights

Maintained lights are always on and are illuminated through the main power. When the power fails the battery system will kick in.
