Lighting for Healthcare Emergencies 

Patients and visitors to hospitals, care homes and clinics may be unfamiliar with their surroundings. So, it is important that the emergency lighting sufficiently illuminates corridors to a minimum of 1 lux, and open areas to a minimum of 0.5 lux. This is to ensure that people can quickly exit the building in the event of a loss of mains power.

Patients may be unable to move quickly, so may exit the building via a trolley or wheelchair. As a result, it's vital that lighting for healthcare emergencies must account for nurses and orderlies. This is so they can easily help patients leave the building, with clear visibility in the escape routes.
