- Emergency lighting systems provide lighting in corridors, stairwells, ramps, escalators, aisles and exit passageways during power outages.
- You must be in compliance with I.S. 3217:2008. Any commercial building must have Emergency Lighting and the installation should follow the legislation criteria.
- Emergency lighting and exit signage are essential in the event of accidents or catastrophic events that require a safe and smooth evacuation from a building.
- There are different types of emergency lights available. Non-maintained, which only come on if the power fails; maintained which are always on but switch to battery-powered during a power failure; and sustained, which have two lamps – one which is normally powered via the building’s electricity and one which illuminates via battery power in an emergency.
- Make sure that the Exit sign (LED) is always illuminated (daily inspection).
- You must follow the Irish Standards testing requirements, so you will avoid the possibility of failure of the emergency lighting systems.
