Emergency lighting is a vital part of modern lighting. A combination of European Union and United Kingdom laws set out precise requirements for the application, performance and testing of emergency lighting. Failure to fully comply with these requirements will lead to prosecution and possible imprisonment of the individual responsible for a building.
Drawing on Thorn's forty years experience of emergency lighting, this guide has been compiled to help the planning and implementation of lighting installations that satisfy the broad raft of legal requirements and ensure safe evacuation of a building in the event of an emergency.
The document begins with the basic elements of emergency lighting, including information on correct signage, the positioning of emergency luminaires and how to avoid potentially dangerous disability glare. Other sections include a look at the latest range of solutions available for the testing of emergency lighting, together with a reminder of the added value associated with Thorn emergency products.
