Lighting for use when the supply to the normal lighting fails; it includes emergency evacuation lighting, illuminated emergency exit signage, high-risk task-area lighting and stand-by lighting.

An exit light is a device in a public facility denoting the location of the closest emergency exit in case of fire or other emergency. Most relevant codes require exit signs to be permanently lit. Exit signs are designed to be absolutely unmistakable and understandable to anyone. In the past this generally meant exit signs that show the word “EXIT” or the equivalent in the local language, but increasingly exit signs around the world are in pictogram form, with or without text supplement.

A system of emergency lighting in which a number of emergency luminaires, or exit signs,
or both are supplied from a common power source.
Within a building there may be more than one power source, each of which supplies the
emergency luminaires and exit signs in a particular section of the building.

A Logbook is a register of the periodic inspections and maintenance report in a hard-copy or digital logbook.

The logbook must be kept on site and contain information related to:

• Exit and emergency luminaire identification and location, circuit identification and location,  discharge test results, diffuser ect.
• Any maintenance task performed.
• The personnel of those carrying out the maintenance and testing and the date the test was completed.
• Here at emergencylighting.au we use an online dashboard to manage all of our results. This dashboard is managed by Adapt Essential Services, you can Register or Access your Emergency Lighting Log Book HERE

Owners Corporations are responsible for the maintenance of a building’s ESMs. If a fire occurs, well maintained ESMs can provide residents with more time to exit the building and lessen the chance of fire spreading. ESMs require ongoing care and maintenance.

Emergency light fittings are tested and based on performance, assigned classifications to a number of classes (Class A to Class E). Fittings with a single light source are generally classified in two axis, C0 and C90. A
