What Are LED Emergency Lights?

LED emergency lights are fixtures that provide illumination during a power outage or other emergencies. LED 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.

Types of LED Emergency Lights

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

Exit Signs: Designed to clearly indicate exit routes in buildings

Emergency Bulkhead Lights: Ideal for outdoor use, these durable and weatherproof 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 lights activate automatically when the main power supply is interrupted.

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

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

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

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

Emergency Lighting Code Requirements

Adhering to local, state, and federal code requirements for emergency lighting in commercial buildings is critical for ensuring the safety of occupants during power outages or emergency situations. Failing to comply with these 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 lighting, 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 lighting that meets strict safety criteria, protecting both employees and visitors.

Is Wall-Mounted Emergency Lighting Required by Law?

Wall-mounted emergency exit 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 systems 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 lighting system inspected and tested regularly by a qualified professional to ensure compliance with these requirements.
