The expertise and legacy of Eaton's emergency lighting

What are the risks businesses face today?

The ongoing risk of fire

Over a third of businesses never resume operations after a major fire - losing orders, contracts, and key employees. This results in lost jobs and services to the community.

Non-traditional threats 

Power outages, terrorism and domestic extremism are a rising cause for evacuation. These risks demand a different approach when planning for safe evacuation. High-profile terrorist attacks can shape regulation.

Each emergency lighting system is important, it protects life and health.

• Escape route marking during regular power supply: Evacuation of a building due to an accident, a bomb threat etc.
• During blackout: Light supply
  • Showing the directions out of the building
  • Illumination of the escape route to guarantee a safe evacuation

A self-contained emergency luminaire has its own battery. Under normal conditions, this remains permanently on charge via the mains lighting circuit until the power supply to the luminaire is lost and the battery takes over.

All elements of an SC luminaire micro-system, including battery, lamp, control unit and any test or monitoring equipment, will either be located within the luminaire housing itself or in a directly adjacent enclosure, connected via short cabling (i.e. less than 1m).

A central battery system features ‘slave’ emergency luminaires with no on-board battery. Instead, the luminaires automatically draw power from one centralised battery in the building, supported by a charger, alarms and instrumentation, should mains lighting fail.

Some ‘decentralised’ central battery systems may, however, feature multiple centralised power supply systems – to serve individual floors for example.
