During a power failure or emergency, normal lighting may become unavailable, making it difficult for occupants to identify safe routes and exits. Emergency lighting provides essential illumination to help people navigate buildings and reach designated evacuation routes.

Emergency lighting systems can support visibility in corridors, stairways, exit routes, and other important areas. Proper planning and installation are important to ensure that emergency lighting is positioned appropriately for the building’s layout and safety requirements.

Like other life safety systems, emergency lighting should be inspected and tested regularly. Routine maintenance helps identify faults and ensures the system remains operational when normal power is interrupted.

Key Points:

* Provides illumination during power failures
* Supports safe evacuation
* Improves visibility along escape routes
* Requires professional installation
* Regular inspection and testing are important
