Emergency lighting

Emergency lighting is a lifeline in hazardous situations – reducing panic, delivering essential illumination and guiding the occupants of a building towards safe exit points. The installation and maintenance of emergency lighting is not only essential in ensuring the safe infrastructure of commercial buildings but also a legal imperative in most countries. Eaton brings decades of expertise to the development of emergency lighting, working closely with national and international industry organisations to achieve the highest standards of regulatory compliance, safety, reliability and efficiency.

Emergency lighting is a lifeline in hazardous situations. It enables the safe, prompt and efficient evacuation of spaces and buildings, not only in cases of blackout caused by power outage, but when sunlight and lighting may still be available.

An effective emergency lighting system also guides people in and around enclosed and open environments, as well as helps them locate safety equipment plus refuge and assembly points.

In most countries, new guidelines ask for a "physical distance" to be maintained between people in particular scenarios. Building owners and safety managers must provide clear visible signage to educate and reinforce.
