Emergency lighting is an absolute must for residential areas. Exit routes for building occupants will involve them moving through residential spaces such as corridors and lobbies.
It is crucial, therefore, that such spaces are fitted with high output emergency lighting luminaires, that illuminate the space to a minimum of 1 lux along the centre line.
Occupants need to exit the space quickly and calmly, and lighting for residential emergencies must provides enough illumination for these spaces, even with a loss of mains power.
