- Emergency lighting is an important requirement to operate automatically and give illumination of a sufficiently high level during an emergency to enable persons on the premises to evacuate safely
Most new buildings now have emergency lighting installed during construction, the design and type of equipment is normally specified by the relevant local authority, architect or consultant. It is important to maintain proper lighting to meet fire protection codes.
However, current technology has far surpassed many state and local codes; it’s recommended that building owners be proactive and go beyond minimum code requirements to make their buildings as safe as possible.
