Emergency Lighting Luminaires

Emergency lighting luminaires are battery-powered luminaires that light escape routes and exits when mains power is cut. They are used on escape routes such as corridors, stairs and exit doors, and in large indoor spaces, to provide light and directional information during evacuation. This category includes Schneider Electric Exiway Light, Exiway Smartbeam and Smartled Activa luminaires, along with EasySign guidance luminaires and pictogram sets; models come in IP42 and IP65 protection ratings and with 1.5 and 3 hour operating times. Choose the luminaire by the optic type suited to the emergency lighting design (corridor or open area), operating mode (maintained or non-maintained), operating time, luminous flux (lm), IP rating and mounting style. A non-maintained type lights only when mains power is cut, while a maintained type stays lit during normal operation as well. For guidance luminaires, the visibility distance and pictogram direction are also decisive. A guidance luminaire is an illuminated sign showing the exit direction and does not replace an emergency lighting luminaire that lights the escape route.
