What Are LED Emergency Lights?

LED emergency lights are fixtures that provide illumination during a power outage or other emergencies. Emergency lighting uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as their light source, which are highly efficient and consume less energy than traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs.

There are various types of LED emergency lights, including exit signs and remote heads. These emergency lights can be wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, or recessed, and are typically connected to a battery backup system to ensure they function during power outages.

The Different Types of Emergency Lights

There are many different types of LED emergency lights, including:

Exit Signs: Often used during emergencies, designed to clearly indicate exit routes in buildings.

Emergency Bulkhead Lights: Ideal for outdoor use, these durable and weatherproof emergency lights provide broad illumination, ensuring pathways and entry points are well-lit during an outage.

Recessed Emergency Lights: Installed into ceilings or walls for a streamlined look, these emergency lights activate automatically when the main power supply is interrupted.

Portable LED Emergency Lights: Lightweight and battery-operated, these emergency lights are great for personal use, offering mobility and versatility in various emergency situations.

Emergency Spotlights: Designed to focus light on specific areas, these emergency lights are perfect for illuminating critical locations like stairwells and exits, during an emergency.

Surface-Mounted Emergency Lights: Attached to walls or ceilings, these emergency lights are easy to install and provide broad, reliable illumination in hallways and open spaces.

Combo Emergency Lights: These emergency units combine exit signs with emergency lighting, offering a dual-function solution for building safety.

Code Requirements for Emergency Lights

Adhering emergency lights to local, state, and federal code requirements in commercial buildings is critical for ensuring the safety of occupants during power outages or emergency situations. Failing to comply with these emergency light regulations can lead to severe consequences, including legal penalties and increased liability in the event of an incident.

Key standards influencing the design and placement of emergency lights include OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) guidelines. OSHA mandates that employers provide safe evacuation routes with adequate emergency lights, while the NFPA's Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) details specific requirements for the visibility and performance of emergency lights in various building types. Together, these standards ensure that commercial spaces are equipped with well-placed, functional emergency lighting that meets strict safety criteria, protecting both employees and visitors.

Are Wall-Mounted Emergency Lights Required by Law?

Wall-mounted emergency lights are required in many commercial and industrial buildings to meet safety standards set by organizations like NFPA, ICC, and OSHA. These regulations stipulate that emergency lighting must be installed in all means of egress and provide illumination for at least 90 minutes during a power failure. It's important to have your emergency lights inspected and tested regularly by a qualified professional to ensure compliance with these requirements.

Emergency Lighting FAQs

How long do LED emergency lights last?

The lifespan of LED emergency lighting depends on a variety of factors, such as the quality of the emergency lights and the frequency of use. On average, LED emergency lights can last between 50,000 and 100,000 hours, which is much longer than the lifespan of traditional emergency lighting.

Are wall-mounted LED emergency lights easy to install?

Wall-mounted LED emergency lights are relatively easy to install if you follow the instructions. All you need is a sturdy wall, a steady hand, and a little patience.

How can you test emergency lights?

The best way to test LED emergency lighting is to follow the manufacturer's instructions, which usually involve pressing a test button or disconnecting the power source

How many lumens do I need for LED emergency lights?

LED emergency lights typically require at least 50 lumens to provide sufficient illumination during an emergency, but the exact lumen requirement may vary depending on the specific application and local code standards.

What are the different types of LED emergency lights?

The main types of LED emergency lights include maintained, non-maintained, and switchable options. Maintained emergency lights stay on at all times, while non-maintained emergency lights only activate when the main power fails. Switchable emergency lights offer the flexibility of being used in both modes.
