Emergency lighting plays a big role in the safety of building occupants, staff and visitors in the event of an emergency. Even in a power failure, these safety lighting measures are designed to illuminate, utilising batteries, they visually display the safest and fastest route out of the building.

There’s two main types of emergency lighting: maintained and non-maintained.

Emergency lighting explained

As we touched on at the start of this blog, emergency lighting plays a crucial role in guiding people in a building to safety in the unfortunate event of an emergency.

BLE Lighting and Power Ltd will supply a fully compliant solution to meet the needs of any project by providing technical expertise and knowledge on industry and legislative standards.

Let’s recap the importance of emergency lighting products:

  • They play a significant role in safety, and
  • They’re required by law to be installed in many buildings throughout the UK.

Now let’s delve into the different types of emergency lighting products in the UK.

Maintained emergency lighting

There are two different types of emergency lighting: maintained and non-maintained.

Let the team at BLE Lighting and Power Ltd walk you through maintained emergency lighting first.

Unswitched maintained emergency lighting products are:

  • Continuously on, but
  • Will continue to stay lit in the event of a power loss, sometimes at a lower brightness.

Switched maintained emergency lighting products:

  • Can be switched on and off, but
  • Will still illuminate in the event of a power loss, sometimes at a lower brightness.

Maintained emergency lighting products are generally used in cinemas and auditoriums, shopping centres, hospitals and airplanes.

Non-maintained emergency lighting

As you can probably guess, non-maintained emergency lighting will only illuminate in the event of a power loss. So, these emergency lighting products will come on only in emergency mode.

How does it work?

  • The batteries inside continuously charge and a green LED shows that it is fully charged.
  • If power fails, the fixture switches on using its battery back-up supply.
  • At a minimum, emergency lighting should last for at least 1 hour where re-occupation of the building isn’t expected within 24hrs and 3 hours where immediate evacuation isn’t required.

Non-maintained emergency lighting products are not part of the general lighting fittings and fixtures of a building. Also, this type of emergency lighting is often found in workplaces that rely heavily on artificial lighting.
