Emergency Lighting Installation FAQs
What Is The Difference Between Emergency Lighting And Ordinary Lights?
Most lighting solutions for business premises have a switch, which allows them to be turned on and off and are powered by the mains supply for the building. Emergency lighting is installed to provide automatic illumination in the case of an emergency situation, such as a fire or power cut. Some emergency lighting systems can be switched on and off like normal lights, while others run automatically all the time or only turn on when the power supply fails.
What Are The Three Types Of Emergency Lighting?
There are three main types of emergency lighting. Maintained emergency lighting is on all the time and is usually run on the building’s power supply, except in the case of a mains power failure, when it switches to being battery operated. Non-maintained systems only come on in the event of a power failure, and run on batteries that are charged by the mains power supply when it is live. Switchable emergency lighting options can be turned on and off like normal lighting solutions, but they have backup battery power in case of an emergency.
What Are The Three Types Of Electrical Testing?
While there are multiple ways to test electrical equipment and systems, the three main types of electrical testing are insulation resistance testing, continuity testing, and ground fault circuit interruption (GFCI) testing.
Is Emergency Lighting A Legal Requirement?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all commercial and public buildings must have emergency lighting installed. The regulations provide guidance on the type of systems needed for each property, but emergency lighting should be installed in any room where employees or customers would need it should the mains power fail. Emergency lighting is often fitted above doorways and at ground level to provide guidance towards exit routes.
