What is the difference between emergency lighting and evacuation lights?


Fire emergency lighting and evacuation indicators have the same effect on emergency, and need to be able to supply power to emergency bulbs when the normal power supply disappears. But the function is different. Install emergency lighting in places with evacuation lighting such as stairs, passages, gates, etc. The emergency lights of emergency lighting manufacturers are lights that indicate the position and direction required for evacuation, such as "safe passage", "forward", etc.

1. Fire emergency lighting and evacuation indicators need to be equipped with two power sources, namely normal power and emergency backup power. The emergency backup power supply is generally powered by self-supplied power supply and battery. If a battery is used, the continuous power supply time cannot be less than 200 minutes.




2. The illuminance of fire emergency lighting and evacuation indicators should not be less than 0.5lx to fully illuminate evacuation routes such as sidewalks and stairs. The fire control room, fire pump room, self-provided generator room and the parts that still need to work in the event of a fire also need to ensure normal lighting.

3. Safety evacuation signs should be set at the top of the fire escape or evacuation passage and at the corner of the wall below 1 meter from the ground. The spacing of signs on pedestrian bridges should not be greater than 20 meters. Fire emergency lighting and safety evacuation indicators should be equipped with protective covers made of non-combustible materials such as glass.




4. There should be obvious signs in the evacuation stairwell, indicating the location and the number of floors, so that the people in the building can know the location in time and facilitate safe evacuation.




Before installing the fire emergency lighting, a simple inspection of the fire emergency lighting should be carried out to test whether the emergency function of the fire emergency lighting is normal. The test method is very simple. The new national standard fire emergency lights produced now generally have a test button on the front of the fire emergency light panel. After the fire emergency light is powered on, the user only needs to press the test button with his finger, and the two fire emergency light sockets will light up at the same time.




It also explains the issues that should be paid attention to when installing recessed wall-mounted fire emergency sign lights (recessed evacuation indicator lights). Before installing the embedded fire emergency indicator (embedded fire emergency evacuation indicator), it is necessary to clearly understand the size of the hole (hole) reserved in the wall. The fastening position of the screws on the embedded box is fixed. Each embedded fire emergency beacon (safe exit evacuation indicator light) is available in different sizes, specifications and models. The position of the fixing screw of the fire emergency sign light needs to correspond to the position where the screw is fastened and anchored in the embedded box.
