Keeping your emergency systems in good health
Hospitals, care homes, and clinics are fortunately unfamiliar surroundings to most of us. This makes the role of life safety lighting even more important. It is essential for emergency lights to quickly help people with orientation and exit in the event of losing mains power. It must sufficiently illuminate corridors to a minimum of 1 lux and open areas to a minimum of 0.5 lux.
We must remember that patients may not be able to move quickly, further hampered by trollies or wheelchairs. Hence, our emergency systems and solutions are designed to aid nurses and orderlies with clear visibility to help patients leave the building.
Healthcare buildings are specific in their needs. A trusted supplier will ensure the full range of requirements is met. The emergency lighting will need to consider tasks that must continue in critical areas: operating theatres, delivery rooms, and high dependency units, even when other spaces are evacuated.
Some patients will almost certainly be physically or mentally incapacitated. In this case, it won't be easy to evacuate; our dynamic solutions provide sufficient light to allow progressive evacuation or allow time at refuge points.
Special attention must be paid to hazardous areas, or areas that are behind locked doors where there is a need to secure or make equipment or machinery safe before exiting. Similarly, all medical equipment, fire extinguishers and safety devices need to be illuminated, for instant recognition.
As energy-intensive environments, there is growing pressure to reduce costs; this shouldn't be at the expense of your critical life safety equipment. In fact, with our efficient L10 ranges, LED emergency, and remote management solutions, we can lower operating and maintenance costs. Furthermore, we integrate our innovative technology into hospital grade housing, ensuring luminaires stand up to the demands of the hospital environment.

What emergency lighting solution is best suited for Healthcare
When considering the best emergency lighting solution for your facility or project it is important to consider two key areas; luminaire lifetime and compliance testing. Increased lifetime will provide lower maintenance costs and automated testing provides fast compliance reporting and reassurance that your life safety devices are in working order.
