What is emergency lighting?
Emergency lights are units that are wired into the mains, but have
the benefit of battery back-up so they remain illuminated should
the mains power fail. The batteries can either be carried within
the body of the individual light or accessed via an independent wired
circuit. The mains supply keeps the batteries charged.
In the event of an emergency and a power fail, buildings need to
be evacuated safely and quickly. Escape routes and emergency exits
must be illuminated to achieve this.
Legal obligations
There are laws relating to emergency lighting, most importantly the
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. It includes a mandatory
requirement for the provision of emergency lighting in all public
buildings.
