Did you know that thedo you have to make a very precise choice when it comes to selecting and installing your emergency lighting?

Whether you are receiving members of the public or workers, safety is very important. In this article we will give you advice on your emergency lighting.

Emergency lighting indicates an emergency exit, staircase or potential danger in the event of a power cut, making it easy to evacuate your premises in an emergency.

There are two main types ofemergency lighting : 

• Evacuation lighting : BAES - Self-contained emergency lighting units.

• Ambient lighting : BAEH - Autonomous lighting units for homes.

Le BAES installed in all establishments receiving workers or the public, and in certain buildings, the role of the BAES is to facilitate evacuation in the event of a problem, such as a fire, an explosion or an accident fire or a power cut.

• The emergency lighting units are spaced 15 metres apart.

• A block must be positioned at each obstacle.

• A block must be positioned when changing levels.

• A block is positioned on all the outlets in a room.

• A block must be positioned at each change of direction.

Le BAEH installed in areas with at least 100 people on upper floors, or at least 50 people in basement levels, its role is to maintain diffused lighting and prevent panic movements.

• The BAEH are spaced less than 4 times their height above the ground. For example, for a BAEH at a height of 2 metres: 4X2 = 8 BAEH located at a height of 2 metres, will be spaced a maximum of 8 metres apart. 

• 2 BAEH per room minimum.

The BAES or BAEH must remain in standby mode when powered normally. Their role will become crucial in the event of a power cut BAES will then light up and remain on battery power for 1 hour, while the BAEH will stay on for 5 hours.
