To stay within the fire codes and keep everyone inside the building secure in the event of a fire, all commercial buildings must have a working fire safety and detection system. Any office and public building should have an emergency lighting system, which provides lighting when the main power source fails, for instance, during a power outage or a fire. Without the contingency method of emergency lightning, a loss of main electricity in the event of a fire may prove fatal, as it helps people in the building to safely evacuate the premises.
What is the Operation of Emergency Lightning?
Emergency lighting is operated by a different power source from the mains, meaning that it can work even if the main power is switched off. They can take several forms, from an exit sign above a fire exit door to LED lights on the floor that serve as a pathway to fire exits during an evacuation.
