Emergency Indicator LEDs for Emergency Lighting Systems
FAQ's
A: An emergency indicator is a small light, usually LED-based, that shows whether an emergency lighting circuit is receiving power. It is used in conjunction with non-maintained emergency lighting systems to confirm that the battery pack is being charged and that the fitting will operate in the event of a power failure. The indicator is usually mounted externally for visibility, allowing for easy inspection without accessing the fitting itself.
Emergency indicators are essential in maintaining safety compliance and ensuring peace of mind. By offering a visual cue, they make it easy for maintenance personnel to identify faults or confirm readiness. Without them, it would be difficult to know whether emergency lighting systems are functioning correctly until an actual outage occurs.
A: Emergency indicators are commonly installed in locations where non-maintained emergency lighting fittings are not immediately visible, such as in ceilings, inside luminaires, or hidden fixtures. The indicator is mounted in a more accessible or visible location to display the system status clearly. This is especially important in commercial and industrial buildings, where quick checks and regular maintenance are necessary for safety compliance.
In many cases, the indicator is placed near the entrance to a room or along escape routes, making it easy to confirm operational status at a glance. They are especially useful in places where aesthetics matter, as slimline and chrome-finished indicators can blend in seamlessly while still serving their safety function.
A: Emergency indicators require minimal maintenance, as they are typically powered by long-lasting LEDs that offer thousands of hours of operation. Regular function tests as part of routine emergency lighting maintenance should include visual checks of the indicator to confirm it's operational. If the indicator fails to light when it should, it may point to a fault in the emergency lighting circuit or battery pack.
Replacement is generally straightforward and cost-effective. Most indicators are designed to be easily installed using standard tools, and they are usually universal in design, making them compatible with most emergency lighting kits. Keeping indicators functional is a vital part of a compliant emergency lighting strategy, helping to avoid costly failures or safety breaches.
