WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY LIGHTING?

Emergency lighting is a type of secondary lighting that activates immediately, independent of a generator system, when the usual lighting system is disabled due to emergencies involving events such as earthquakes, fires, terror attacks, sabotage, or power outages. Emergency lighting systems allow for the safe evacuation of people from a building.

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.
