Emergency lighting should be approached as one of the significant elements when designing for schools.
It is there to provide illumination to allow the building’s occupants to use the escape route in the event of a failure of the normal lighting power supply. To achieve the 1.0 Lux minimum requirement for escape routes, specific LED Luminaires are able to meet the required standards with long narrow distribution, produced by special optics which allow maximum spacing between luminaires. Lighting designers can help the end user to meet their obligation for emergency lighting with the right product positioned in the right location.
