DATA/DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
We often see emergency lighting as an indoor only requirement – to be able to navigate out of the building, away from danger.
However, emergency lighting in the outdoor environment is also required so that occupants can navigate away from the building to a determined location point, often signed as a fire point.
There are three primary elements to this:
1. Emergency lighting for wayfinding – a clearly visible illuminated route to safety.
2. Emergency lighting at changes of direction - there can be no ambiguity for users in an emergency situation at pathway intersections.
3. Emergency lighting at changes of level – in an emergency situation, risk assessments consistently identify that even a single stair tread can cause incident and delay in people reaching the designated areas of safety.
Integrated emergency lighting throughout the outdoor lighting installation reduces risk to occupants in an emergency situation.

So, to summarise: every data centre has a unique set of needs, dependant on its architecture, location, scale and security systems.
However, the outcome needed from data centre outdoor lighting is always the same.
Outdoor lighting needs to be an aid to security and surveillance systems and play an active role in asset protection, personnel safety, operating at minimal energy costs whilst following light pollution and emergency lighting regulations. Bringing together these often opposing requirements is now possible by tailoring a specific combination of products, smart controls, lighting technology and lens technology to create a best in class solution.
Engaging with a lighting specialist partner on your project as early as possible in the development and construction process is key, so that at every stage, the outdoor lighting solution has been considered and properly integrated into your data centre.
