LED Emergency Panels | Reliable & Energy-Efficient Lighting
FAQ's
A: Emergency LED panels function as both standard lighting and backup emergency lighting. During normal operation, they work like regular LED panels, offering bright and efficient illumination. However, in the event of a power failure, an integrated battery backup automatically activates, providing emergency lighting for a minimum of three hours. These panels are crucial for maintaining safety in commercial and public buildings, ensuring compliance with UK emergency lighting regulations.
A: The battery lifespan of emergency LED panels depends on usage and environmental factors but usually lasts between 3 to 5 years before requiring replacement. To ensure proper function, monthly functional tests (brief activation) and annual full-duration tests (3-hour operation) should be conducted. Many emergency LED panels include self-test functionality, which automatically monitors performance and alerts users when maintenance is needed.
A: Emergency LED panels used in commercial and public buildings must adhere to British Standard BS 5266-1, which governs emergency lighting installations. Additionally, EN 60598-2-22 sets safety requirements for self-contained emergency luminaires. Compliance ensures that panels provide adequate illumination in an emergency and meet fire safety requirements. It’s essential to install emergency lighting according to local building regulations and conduct routine testing to remain compliant.
