Will Your Emergency Lights and Lighting Work WhenYou Need Them?

Emergency lights and emergerncy lighting provides lighting in corridors, stairwells, ramps, escalators, aisles, and exit passageways during power outages. If your emergency lights fail to operate properly, the building occupants can become disoriented.

Routine maintenance of emergency lights and emergency lighting is frequently overlooked until and emergency occurs--and then its too late. Regular maintenance is required by NFPA Standard No. 101, chapter 31, section 1.3.7.
