The different types of emergency lighting
Emergency lighting is becoming increasingly important when building residential buildings and commercial buildings. Protection of visitors must be guaranteed by safety lighting, especially for apartment buildings, public buildings, shopping centers, theaters or museums. Emergency lights are the central point here.
Replacement lighting for hospitals
Emergency lighting can also designate the replacement lighting in the event of a power failure, for example in hospitals (OPS), in which light is essential at any time and night. This is a special case. The lighting level is usually below the brightness level of the normal lighting, but ensures that work and processes can be safely exposed even in the event of a power failure.
This type of replacement lighting must be guaranteed for at least three hours (independent of the power grid). The nominal operating time for escape routes is one hour. The emergency lights can be operated via the battery or an additional emergency power unit. The switch -on duration must be smaller than a second.
Safety lighting for escape routes
In our light shop we offer you security lights for escape routes, escape routes and emergency exits. This type of anti-panic lighting is typically marked and immediately leads visitors to the emergency exits.
These emergency lamps are also important for companies and companies with many employees. In the event of a fire, in the event of chemical accidents or other dangerous events, everyone must know immediately where the saving door can be found outside.
Way orientation through security lights
In the event of accidents or damage of all kinds, orientation aid is essential for those affected. With emergency lights that are positioned over or next to the outputs, the people can reach the outputs quickly and safely and pass the escape routes.
These lights are marked with drawn people and arrows that interpret in the desired direction.
Reliable manufacturers for emergency lighting
Our brand light manufacturer SLV has numerous anti-Panic lights on offer. Other manufacturers such as isoled offer reliable line lights that ensure bright illumination in halls, corridors, cellars or escape routes.
These line lights support regular working operations and are particularly protected against dust or with smoke that are particularly visible.
According to DIN EN 1838, the minimum thickness of the emergency lighting is at least 1 lux on the respective width of the escape route. The uniformity of the illuminance may only be a deviation of 40: 1 to ensure that people with poor eyesight also find their way to the rescue location.
The contrast effect in smoke usually decreases strongly, so basic safety lighting must be met with a given brightness.
Guidelines for the right emergency light assembly
The DIN EN 1838 serves as the basis for safety lighting. In order for the assembly of the safety lighting to work properly and is carried out correctly, we have put together the following tips:
- Mount the emergency lights at least 2 m above the floor.
- Escape routes should be illuminated at least at a width of 2 meters.
- Enter emergency lights over or by all emergency exits or escape doors.
- In the vicinity of stairs or when changing the sidewalk level, the distance from the emergency lamp to the ground may not be more than 2 m.
- Characteristic directions such as crossings, corridors, corridors, elevators and escape routes clearly.
- Use emergency lamps at first aid stations, defibrillators and fire extinguishers.
- At the output, emergency lights may be installed for a maximum of 2 meters.
- Emergency outer lights or external security lights also have to contribute to orientation outside.
