Emergency Lighting Basics
Emergency Lighting by definition:
• Emergency Lights are battery backed lights that come on automatically when a building
experiences a power outage.
• Emergency lighting is lighting for an emergency situation when the main power supply is cut
and any normal illumination fails.
• The loss of mains electricity could be the result of a fire or a power cut and the normal
lighting supplies fail.
• This may lead to sudden darkness and a possible danger to the occupants, either through
physical danger or panic.
• Emergency lighting is normally required to operate fully automatically and give illumination
of a sufficiently high level to enable all occupants to evacuate the premises safely.
Emergency Lighting Basics
Categories of Emergency Lighting :
• Emergency escape lighting – that part of an emergency lighting system that provides
illumination for the safety of people leaving a location or attempting to terminate a
potentially dangerous process beforehand. It is part of the fire safety provision of a building
and a requirement of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
• Standby lighting – that part of an emergency lighting system provided to enable normal
activities to continue substantially unchanged. This guide does not include standby lighting as
it is not a legal requirement and is a facility that may or may not be needed, depending on
the use and occupancy of the premises, etc.
Emergency Lighting Basics
Emergency Escape Lighting sub-categories:
Emergency escape lighting is itself sub-divided into escape route lighting, open area lighting and
high risk task area lighting.
• Escape route lighting – that part of an emergency escape lighting system provided to ensure
that the means of escape can be effectively identified and safely used by occupants of the
building.
• Open area lighting (in some countries known as anti-panic lighting) – that part of an
emergency escape lighting system provided to minimize panic and ensure there is sufficient
illumination to allow the occupants of a building to reach a place where an escape route can
be identified.
• High risk task area lighting – that part of an emergency escape lighting system that provides
illumination for the safety of people involved in a potentially dangerous process or situation
and to enable proper shut-down procedures for the safety of the operator and other
occupants of the premises.
Example 1 : Emergency Situation
NO System Installed
I need to Exit this premise… Power Failure
Ooops!!! (Obstacle)
Oh NO!!! (Another
Where is theObstacle)
EXIT???
CONFUSION!!!
Finally!!!
Approximate Time taken to
reach Exit : 30 seconds Exit Staircase
Example 2 : Emergency Situation
Ooops!!! (Obstacle)
Oh NO!!! (Another Obstacle)
I got the Exit door
Ensure fire alarm call points, fire fighting equipment & other life saving equipment on the
premises are illuminated
Permit operations concerned with safety measures & to shut down hazardous process
Compliance to statutory building regulations and requirements of local Civil Defence authority
Emergency Lighting Concepts
Important Design Basics of Emergency Escape Lighting :
Advantages:
• The installation is faster and cheaper
• Standard wiring material may be used. Failure of mains supply due to cable burn-through will
automatically satisfy the requirement for a luminaire to be lit
• Low maintenance costs – periodic test and general cleaning only required
• Low hardware equipment costs – no requirement for extended wiring, special ventilation etc.
• The integrity of the system is greater because each luminaire is independent of the others
• System can easily be extended with additional luminaires
• No special sub-circuit monitoring requirements
Disadvantages:
• The environmental conditions will vary throughout the system and batteries may be adversely
affected by a relatively high or low ambient temperature
• Battery life is limited to between 2 and 4 years, dependent upon the application
• Testing requires isolation and observation of luminaires on an individual basis
Emergency Lighting Concepts
Central Battery Emergency Escape Lighting :
Advantages:
• Maintenance and routine testing is easier, with only one location to consider
• The life of a battery is between 5 and 25 years, dependent upon type
• Environmentally stable in a protected environment; the luminaire can operate at relatively high
or low ambient temperatures
• Large batteries are cheaper per unit of power and luminaires are usually less expensive
• Localized mains failure may trigger operation of emergency lighting in that area by using sub-
circuit monitoring
Disadvantages:
• High capital equipment costs
• The cost of the installation and system wiring is high because fire resisting cable like MICC or
FP200 type is required to each satellite luminaire
• Poor system integrity – failure of battery or wiring circuit can disable a large part of the system
• A requirement for ‘battery room’ to house cells and charger circuits, etc; ventilation of acid
gases may also be needed
• Voltage drop on the luminaire wired furthest from the central battery could become a problem
NBC of India : Emergency Lighting Requirements
4.2.7. Exits shall be clearly visible and the route to reach such exits shall be clearly marked and
signs posted to guide the occupants of the floor concerned. Signs shall be illuminated and wired
to independent electrical circuits on an alternative source of supply. The sizes and colour of the
exit signs shall be in accordance with good practice [F(16)]. The colour of the exit signs shall be
green.
4.16.8. Emergency lighting luminaires and their fittings shall be of non-flammable type.
4.16.1. Emergency lighting shall be powered from a source independent of that supplying the
normal lighting, (See good practice [4(17)].
(a) Indicating clearly and unambiguously the escape routes;
(b) Providing adequate illumination along such routes to allow safe movement of persons
towards and through the exits;
(c) Ensuring that fire alarm call points and fire fighting equipment provided along the escape
routes can be readily located.
Current Scenario
4.16.3. The emergency lighting shall be provided to be put on within one second of the failure of
the normal lighting supply.
4.16.4. Escape lighting luminaries should be sited to cover the following locations:
(a) Near each intersection of corridors,
(b) At each exit door,
(c) Near each change of direction in escape route,
(d) Near each staircase so that each flight of stairs receives direct light,
(e) Near any other change of floor level,
(f) Outside each final exit and close to it,
(g) Near each fire alarm call point,
(h) Near fire fighting equipment, and
(j) To illuminate exit and safety signs as required by the enforcing authority.
Note- For the purpose of this clause near is normally considered to be within 2m measured
horizontally.
4.16.5. Emergency lighting systems shall be designed to ensure that a fault or failure in any one
luminaire does not further reduce the effectiveness of the system.
NBC of India : Emergency Lighting Requirements
Some other important clauses included in NBC are as follows:
4.16.6. The luminaries shall be mounted as low as possible, but at-least 2m above the floor level.
4.16.7. Signs are required at all exits, emergency exits and escape routes, which should comply
with the graphic requirements of the relevant Indian standards.
4.16.9. It is essential that the wiring and installation of the emergency lighting systems are of high
quality so as to ensure their perfect serviceability at all times.
4.16.10. The emergency lighting system shall be capable of continuous operation for a minimum
duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes even for smallest premises.
4.16.11. The emergency lighting system shall be well maintained by periodical inspections and
test so as to ensure their perfect serviceability at all times.
