  • dual-color emergency lights VS single-color emergency lights
    Buyers can maximize their benefits by choosing dual-color emergency lights over single-color emergency lights in terms of cost and inventory in the following ways: 1. Cost-effectiveness: While dual-color emergency lights may have a slightly higher upfront cost compared to single-color lights, they offer long-term cost savings. Dual-color lights eliminate the need for separate inventory for different colors, reducing inventory management costs. Additionally, the versatility of dual-color lights allows buyers to meet various lighting requirements with a single product, eliminating the need to purchase multiple types of lights. 2. Inventory management: Dual-color emergency lights simplify inventory management for buyers. With single-color lights, buyers would need to maintain separate stocks for each color variant. This increases the complexity of inventory management and can lead to higher storage costs. In contrast, dual-color lights consolidate inventory, making it easier to track and manage stock levels. 3. Adaptability to demand: Dual-color emergency lights offer greater flexibility in meeting customer demand. Buyers can cater to a wider range of customer preferences and requirements with a single product. This reduces the risk of stockouts or excess inventory due to limited color options. By offering dual-color lights, buyers can better align their inventory with market demand and maximize sales opportunities. 4. Streamlined procurement: Procuring dual-color emergency lights simplifies the procurement process for buyers. Instead of dealing with multiple suppliers for different color variants, buyers can establish a single sourcing channel for dual-color lights. This streamlines the procurement process, reduces administrative overhead, and potentially leads to better pricing and terms.

  • Complete Guide To Emergency Lighting in Commercial Buildings
    It is crucial to have emergency lighting and exit signs in case of an emergency. Exit signs and emergency lighting are essential safety features in commercial buildings. These signs are intended to protect customers and employees by illuminating exit routes in case of emergency. It`s not difficult to see the importance and value of emergency lighting systems. However, it is important to understand the testing and maintenance requirements set by local and national authorities in order to ensure that all exit and emergency lights work properly. Commercial Buildings Need Emergency Lighting NFPA Safety Code 101 states that all commercial buildings must have emergency and exit-path lighting. To ensure that occupants are protected from fire and other hazards, the code is updated three times a year. You should ensure that all requirements are met by all jurisdictions. To do this, check the regulations and rules set forth by the local authority with jurisdiction (AHJ). Important importance of emergency exit lighting Emergency and exit lights are used to help people get out of commercial buildings in case of a fire, or other emergency. Fire alarm systems are not as important as emergency lights, exit signs, or panic doors. The former communicates an emergency, while fire sprinklers extinguish the flames. However, emergency pathway lights work in conjunction with exits to ensure that everyone is evacuated safely. What is the best place to install emergency lighting? Emergency pathway lighting and exit lights are required for buildings that house occupants at all times of the day. There are three exceptions to the requirement for emergency lighting: If there is sufficient natural light, buildings can only be occupied during daylight hours. All pathways to the exit must be lit by natural light. To be exempted from this situation, the AHJ must approve. Structures not regularly occupied by humans. Towers designed to accommodate less than three persons at a given time, and that provide an escape ladder. You must make sure that people can leave your buildings safely if they do not fall within these exceptions. These are some common locations where emergency lighting or exit lighting should not be ignored: Windowsless rooms are bigger than a broom closet. Designated emergency exit stairs Corridors or aisles leading to the exit Ramps leading towards an exit Escape from the exit by using the escalators All exits that lead to an area which is open to the public Doors with delayed-egress locks New sensor-release electronic locking systems for doors How to test an emergency lighting system Because people depend on emergency exit and exit lights to guide them safely out of dangerous situations , it is essential to test the system periodically . You are not only putting yourself at risk of injury to building occupants, but you also violate life safety codes that prevent emergency lighting from failing. There are three options available for emergency light testing under NFPA 101: Keep written records and test manually Automatically test with self-testing/self-diagnostic battery-operated lighting equipment Automate testing with a computer-based self test lighting system No matter what option you choose, your emergency lighting system must be tested at least once a month for a 30-second check and every year for a 90-minute inspection. To ensure that emergency and exit lights work when necessary, it is important that a qualified fire and life safety technician follows these monthly maintenance schedule. MONTHLY: Make sure emergency lighting conforms to code Check equipment for damage. Perform the 30-second push switch test Make sure to check for lamps that are illuminated and make sure they are correctly aimed Keep a monthly log to be inspected by the AHJ YEARLY: Completely inspect the unit Perform the required 90-minute testing of the battery/lighting system Verify the battery`s condition, voltage, as well as the date manufactured. For proper operation and damage, check the AC/DC bulbs or lamps. Check that the charging circuit is working properly After the annual test is completed, attach an emergency lighting label to each light. Benefits of professional installation Not only must you know where to place emergency and exit lights but also how to properly install them. You must ensure that the lights are properly aimed to illuminate the walkway, and placed in a way that is not too bright or dark. In the event of power failure, emergency lighting and exit signs will need to be lit. This often requires a reliable backup battery. To avoid costly fines and code violations, proper installation, inspection, and maintenance are essential. This should be left to qualified fire and life safety technicians.

  • Exit and emergency lighting and signage – a primer for these continually evolving life safety solutions
    May 26, 2022 – Exit lighting and signs, emergency lighting- all are imperative for the timely evacuation of facility occupants in an emergency or power failure. Adequate ambient lighting is required so that occupants can avoid trips or falls and safely navigate the egress route. Exit signs identify exit routes and doors, while exit and emergency lighting provides the required illumination for those paths of travel. Requirements for the maintenance of these crucial items has continuously evolved over the years. The 1990 edition of the National Fire Code of Canada (NFC) included several new additions, including: the requirement to install exit lighting and exit signs per the National Building Code of Canada (NBC); the inclusion of exit lighting illumination while the building is occupied; and the requirement to maintain emergency lighting. These requirements remained unchanged until the 2015 edition of the NFC. The latest revisions included provisions for the inspection, testing and maintenance of exit signs, which was not explicitly stated in previous editions. Let`s review the requirements related to exit signs and exit lighting, explore some of the challenges with changes in exit signage, and look forward to where new requirements may go next. Exit lighting? I`ve already used the term exit lighting a few times, but you may never have heard this term before. It does not appear in the NBC, and only appears in Subsection 2.7.3 of the NFC. So what is it? When you google [exit lighting", you`ll get results for exit signs, emergency lighting and exit lights. The term exit light seems to be synonymous with exit sign. In fact, I often see the term exit light referencing an exit sign when reviewing building plans. But an exit sign/exit light are not the same as exit lighting, which refers to the ambient lighting within a means of egress under normal power conditions. Note A-2.7.3.1(1) of the NFC states: Subsections 3.2.7 and 3.4.5 of Division B of the NBC describe the requirements for the placement of exit signs and for emergency and non-emergency lighting. The requirements in Article 3.2.7.1 of the NBC provide the minimum lighting requirements. Specifically, that an exit, a public corridor, or a corridor providing access to exit for the public or serving patients` sleeping rooms or classrooms shall be equipped to provide illumination to an average level not less than 50 lx at floor or tread level and at angles and intersections at changes of level where there are stairs or ramps. In addition, the minimum value of the illumination required shall be not less than 10 lx. This is exit lighting. These values are the minimum lux required to provide illumination along the path of egress travel under normal power conditions i.e. not on emergency power. These sentences confirm that the intent is to limit the probability that egress routes and exits will have inadequate illumination, which could lead to safety hazards. Exit signs Exit signs help occupants identify the means of egress so they can find their way out of a building. The NFC requires exit signs to be: • installed in buildings in conformance with the NBC • illuminated when the building is occupied, and • maintained in operating condition in conformance with Section 6.5 The 2015 edition of the NFC included a new article 6.5.1.8 [Inspection of exit signs". New requirements for exit signs included monthly inspections to ensure the signs are visible, identifiable and unobstructed. In addition, exit signs must be tested annually to ensure they remain illuminated for the same duration as the emergency power supply requirement e.g. 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. Green pictogram a.k.a. Running Man signs The 2010 edition of the NBC introduced requirements for the internationally recognized green pictogram sign (the Running Man). While the requirements were straightforward for the installation of these signs in new builds, it wasn`t so easy for existing buildings. Industry had questions about individual exit sign replacements, multiple exit sign replacements in a single floor area, and the replacement of signs across multiple floors. At the same time, others were not asking questions before installing new signs. As a result, we observed every possible scenario, including the replacement of multiple signs within a single floor area. This led to red EXIT signs being installed within the same area as the new green pictogram signs. There seemed to be a lot of confusion from both industry and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs). Various jurisdictions provided interpretations on the how these new requirements were to be applied to existing facilities. Those interpretations were released based on when new code provisions were adopted. Interpretations were issued by several AHJs, including the cities of Winnipeg and Calgary, and the Province of Saskatchewan. The consensus, as stated in [Winnipeg policy on exit signs installations in existing buildings" was that generally speaking, mixing and matching of red EXIT signs and green pictogram signs in the same floor area will not be permitted. The requirements were similar throughout each document, with the exception that Winnipeg and Saskatchewan include a retroactive requirement to replace the red EXIT signs. In buildings where an addition is 15% or greater of the existing building area, the red EXIT signs are required to be replaced. If a building addition is less than 15% of the existing building area, the red EXIT signs can remain if new red EXIT signs are installed, otherwise green pictogram signs are required throughout. The Bulletin from Calgary did not specify a specific size addition that requires the retroactive upgrading of the exit signs. The moral of the story: always check with your local AHJ for specific requirements to avoid possible costly changes later. Where do we go from here? Earlier I wrote that exit signs are meant to identify egress routes and exit doors. Currently, exit signs are designed and installed with little regard for accessible design. I won`t delve into that now, but it opens the door to potential future changes that will incorporate inclusive requirements. Dynamic exit signage, meantime, has been discussed and studied for several years. These exit signs receive signals from the building fire alarm system, or potentially other systems, and flash a Green arrow or Red X on the exit sign to dynamically direct occupants toward a safe exit. Again, this is not something I will get into here but, for a deeper dive, check out the Fire Safety Engineering Group at of the University of Greenwich. Exit signs, exit lighting and emergency lighting will no doubt continue to evolve and change in the coming years. This may include more inclusive signage and/or designs, or maybe dynamic signage providing up-to-date building information to occupants during an evacuation. Or it may include smart sensors and devices to provide updates to occupants during an evacuation. These new designs will require a detailed and thorough design approach, as I expect exit signage will play a larger and a more integral role in a facility`s egress and exiting strategy. The design objectives and intent will need to be documented to ensure that not only the specific devices are maintained, but also that the egress and exiting strategy is maintained. As with all new technologies and change, there will be challenges and opportunities, but this is also what makes fire protection and life safety so interesting! A note on photoluminescence Photoluminescent or self-luminous signs are required to conform to CAN/ULC-S572 [Photoluminescent and self-luminous exit signs and path marking systems". They are permitted to be installed as per the National Building Code, provided they meet the requirements of the noted standard and are installed in conformance with the manufacturer`s instructions.

  • The life-saving importance of exit and emergency lighting
    Emergency situations can occur at any time in a building, which is why it`s important that all occupants know exactly how to head to the nearest emergency exit. By installing exit and emergency lighting, you will be demonstrating to your staff, customers and other visitors that your business prioritises safety and compliance with modern building codes. Why is exit and emergency lighting important? Fires, medical crisis, threat situations and disasters – there are a wide range of emergencies that can occur in enclosed spaces. These situations happen without a warning and can be very distressing for all involved; however, with a clearly defined path of egress you can ensure a safe and orderly evacuation. Even if there is a power outage, emergency lighting will remain on and clearly highlight where building occupants need to go. We`ve all seen emergency lighting before with the iconic `running man` pictogram and green background lit up in everyday places such as shopping centres, cinemas and train stations. Emergency lights can be affixed to the wall or ceiling, and they come in a range of different designs. The different types of emergency lighting Checkpoint Group`s range of emergency lighting includes: Exit Lights Available in a wide range of sizes and options such as weatherproof, recessed blade and various mounting styles, these lights are supplied with three UV related decals (standard Running Man, Running Man with left arrow, Running Man with right arrow). Emergency Downlights Available in Black and White options. Emergency Light Battens Ideal for use in areas such as fire stairs and car parks to increase light and visibility. How do emergency lights work? Emergency lights are designed to be energy efficient and long lasting, with most offering up to 50,000 hours of LED light runtime. They are connected to your building power supply; however, in the event of an emergency and subsequent loss of power, they are powered by the inbuilt lithium battery, which provides up to 3 hours of runtime. Emergency lights should be tested every 6 months by a qualified professional to ensure that the battery retains a healthy level of charge. Australian Standards AS 2293 requires that all exit signage and emergency lighting remain illuminated for a minimum of 90 minutes. Where should emergency lights be installed? Emergency lighting is most commonly seen in large event spaces, public transport hubs, warehouses, shopping centres, offices, hotels and multi-storeyed apartments in addition to stairs and hallways of buildings. If there are no available exits within the immediate vicinity, you should install a directional emergency exit light with an arrow pointing towards the nearest exit.
