EMERGENCY LIGHTING SYSTEMS AND INSTALLATION

Emergency lighting systems provide the necessary level of illumination by automatically switching on in case of a mains malfunction or power outage without the need for a generator. There are two main subtypes of such systems.

• Self-contained systems

• Central battery systems

Central battery systems are not suitable for emergency lighting in level one and level two earthquake risk areas and therefore are not permitted to be used as such. Emergency lighting in these areas must be provided by self-contained emergency lighting luminaires.

-Backup Lighting

WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY LIGHTING UNIT?

An emergency lighting unit is an electronic circuit that provides adequate lighting to the surroundings in the case of a power failure, by the help of the battery it has, provided that it is connected to light sources such as LED, fluorescent and halogen used for general lighting.

EMERGENCY LIGHTING INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

It is important that emergency lighting luminaires are installed in such a manner that they will provide adequate lighting when the normal lighting system malfunctions.
