Emergency lighting provides direction to evacuation routes and active, even when the electric supply to the general lighting fails.

Emergency lighting provides illumination and guidance for occupants to safely exit a building in the case of an incident.

Emergency lighting allows hazardous processes to be made safe when the main supply has failed, as a part of a building evacuation procedure.

Emergency lighting is mandatory, needs continuous assessment and should be appropriately maintained.
