Emergency Lighting Summary of standards covering emergency lighting


system enables building managers to automate routine and periodic testing of emergency lighting, also the regulatory reporting and recording of test results. Areas where automation of the emergency lighting process should be strongly considered are in multiple occupancy dwellings, such as social housing, care homes, healthcare, education, hotels and leisure. In the wake of recent events like the Grenfell Tower disaster, the spotlight has fallen on preventing emergency lighting failures that contributed to these tragedies. Smart LED lights, connected to the building


services, create new opportunities. For example, lighting can be connected to the buildings alarm system. In the event of a fire alarm, all lighting can be triggered to 100% on to assist the evacuation. Battery back-up mode can be activated only when the mains power to an area actually fails. Implementation of these solutions is simplified


by the recent introduction of simple, scalable, lighting control systems such as Light Boss.

Light Boss creates a wireless lighting network,


controlled by Android App or web interface, with simple software to set and adjust the building’s lighting. The control system connects wirelessly to individual light fixtures creating a network of tens or even thousands LED lights. Right out of the box, Light Boss provides self-


test emergency light monitoring, allowing operators to check for faults remotely without testing individual light fittings; also eradicating the need for manual reporting. In addition, it provides live reporting on energy consumption of all connected lighting fixtures, allowing energy management of a single site or a group of sites, making it the ideal tool for complete energy performance of multi-site installations. Unlike alternative SMART networks, Light Boss lighting control is universal, and retrofittable. This enables lighting to be readily upgraded to a fully controllable LED scheme based on new wireless- enabled luminaires. Even non-LED luminaires can be converted to join the smart network. The Emergency Light Monitoring Dashboard continuously displays the status of emergency


lighting units’ health and pre-alerts operators to check emergency fittings for faults. Email alerts can be set up to support maintenance teams with their routine emergency programme management.


Lights can also be programmed specifically to


respond to an emergency events – for example ensuring that people inside the premises have all the illumination they need. Lights can follow the escape route through the building, assisting the response team. They can also light the response team’s path towards the people in the danger zone. It is everyone’s hope that emergency lighting


systems are never used, but the use of LED fixtures keeps the cost of this ‘insurance’ to the minimum, and compliance to the full. Implementation with easy-to-use, cost-effective solutions for smart monitoring and control increases confidence that the systems will work when they are needed most. It’s all about safety and peace-of-mind.
