Technical Specifications

Below is a list of 3 things to ask yourself when designing a system:

1. What is the primary purpose of the emergency lighting system?
The primary purpose of an emergency lighting luminaires system is to provide illumination in locations where it is necessary for the safe conduct of business or during an emergency. The different types of emergency lighting systems are designed to meet the specific needs of each kind of environment.

2. Does my building need emergency lighting?
Every class (classes) 5, 6 (six), 7, 8 or 9 building with a floor area of more than 300m² must have emergency and exit lights.

3. Where should emergency lighting be installed?
When it comes to emergency lighting, there are a few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, emergency lighting should be installed in locations where it is likely to be needed most - such as near exits or in hallways leading to different parts of the building.

Emergency lights must be installed in all common areas, escape routes and exits of multi-unit residential buildings, and government and commercial buildings occupied by employees, customers, and the general public. Installation needs to light hazards along an evacuation route such as stairs, corners and uneven paths, and firefighting equipment such as extinguishers and fire blankets.

Some other common locations that require emergency lighting are rooms with no lighting, no windows, lifts, large function rooms, different floor levels, toilets and bathrooms. Another kind of LED (bulbs) luminaire that provides safety in other premises is called a spitfire luminaire. These LED luminaires are located along exit paths and fire safety paths.

 

Emergency lighting

While the frequency of testing emergency equipment will be determined by the individual emergency lighting system, as a general guideline, most systems require a monthly inspection followed by a full duration test once a year.

Monthly Testing
 

This only requires a short test to check that everything is working properly. Use the test key to ensure that all emergency lights are on when the mains power is off and check the enclosures to ensure they are clean and show no signs of damage. Once mains power is restored, check that they are fully charged again.

Also most emergency lights or exit signs have a small "test" button somewhere in the housing. You can press and hold this button for thirty seconds to test the bulb and battery. This method works fine if you have a small number of devices that can be easily accessed. The light should come on and stay at the same brightness level for a full 30 seconds. If the lights dim immediately, or if some bulbs do not work, then you should contact us to replace the bulbs or batteries in the fixture.

Why thirty seconds?
 

Many defective batteries only hold enough charge to fully light the bulb for a few seconds, but they lose power quickly. If you don't test for 30 seconds, you may find lights that work every month only to find that they go out within seconds of when you really need them. By testing the lights for at least 30 seconds, you can ensure that the batteries have more than just this type of "surface charge".
