Emergency Lighting

With the exception of private residences, most occupancies and facilities are required to provide emergency lighting.

In the event of an emergency situation, such equipment should provide continuous illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes to allow people to exit a building through passageways, corridors, stairs, ramps, and escalators.

In most cases, emergency lighting systems are powered by either battery-powered equipment or back up emergency generators. Both power methods have distinct advantages, and as a result, they’re suitable for separate uses. Battery-powered back up systems are capable of starting virtually instantaneously, which is crucial in emergency situations. However, they don’t offer the longevity of gen-set-powered systems, which is necessary for longer duration outages. Traditionally, gen-sets took considerably longer to power-up, creating a comparatively substantial dark period when light is critical to safe exit. New devices and lamps are shortening that switching time, helping gen-set-powered systems approach the instantaneous nature of battery-powered systems.
