Maximize safety on your site with sufficient lighting in emergency situations. Don't just seek the cheapest product because your life could depend on it. We at Lighthousesupply.com offer quality at affordable prices. Our emergency exit lights provide the required two foot candles at the level of the floor, and depending on the size of the room, may require more than one fixture to light the entire path. Regulations call for back-up coverage in the instance of one light failure, another must be aligned to not leave an area with no lighting. Emergency lighting batteries that have been tested routinely will help prevent the situation.
When designing the layout, planners must determine if there may be changes in direction during a situation with the electric failure, and assure there are adequate fixtures to demonstrate that turn.
Consider for a moment how you might react if you were in an unfamiliar area and the lights went out. What if you were injured and disoriented in that same situation. Flood and fire can be scary enough without the burden of panic in trying to find an exit. That is why it is so important to check and maintain the emergency lighting batteries in your emergency exit lights system. Experts frequently tell us about failure due to plain old housekeeping like checking for corrosion on lens and batteries. Even rechargeable can lose their power in time. Monthly testing will forewarn if the unit is losing voltage. You need be sure of the power source as well. It is not unheard of that the AC connection fails for some reason and the battery does not receive the expected recharge after testing.
A redundant dependant lighting system for emergencies is an intelligent move: one that demands monthly attention to testing. Don't put off something that could mean life and death.
