Emergency Lighting

Reliable backup lighting in case of power outages, with legally compliant emergency exit and escape route illumination. Standalone or centrally monitored LED units with batteries and long lifespan.

Designed for emergency situations
Emergency lighting is intended to ensure safe orientation and recognition of escape routes during a power outage. Such situations can be stressful, especially in enclosed or hazardous environments with no natural light. Properly installed backup lighting helps prevent panic and accidents. Whether in an office building, warehouse, or production hall, standard-compliant emergency lighting is not only a legal requirement but also a responsible operational decision. LED emergency lighting units are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and require minimal maintenance.

Types and applications of emergency lighting
Emergency lighting systems can be divided into two main types: standalone (battery-powered) and centrally powered units. Standalone emergency lights have a built-in battery and switch on automatically in case of a power failure. Centralized systems supply power to multiple fixtures from a central battery unit. Both types are used to illuminate escape routes, stairs, exits, and first aid or firefighting points. Standards (MSZ EN 1838) strictly define the placement, light output, and guidelines.

Standard fixtures as emergency lighting
Many LED light fixtures can be adapted for emergency lighting by adding a supplementary driver with a battery. These emergency modules can be externally mounted or integrated. Some LED drivers come with a built-in battery and switch to emergency mode automatically in a power outage. This allows even a conventional ceiling panel or recessed spotlight to serve as backup lighting if equipped with the proper module. This solution is especially practical in spaces where dedicated emergency fixtures cannot be installed.

Emergency lighting with intelligent control
Modern emergency lighting systems can also be equipped with a central control unit and status monitoring. These systems automatically report faults (e.g. battery or lamp failure) and enable scheduled functional tests, which is especially important for legal compliance. Some smart controllers can also be monitored remotely or integrated into the building management system (BMS). Thus, emergency lighting not only fulfills a safety function but can also become part of an intelligent building operation.
