EMERGENCY LIGHTING in Broughton-in-Furness
Emergency lighting in Broughton-in-Furness is used in case there is an unexpected power fail. These lights are designed to automatically switch on when they detect that there has been a power failure. These light fittings include a battery pack with a 3-hour minimum battery life. To help conserve the battery life, the light that is distributed by emergency lighting tends to be 10% of the normal light that is put out. These emergency lights in Broughton-in-Furness are beneficial as they not only provide a reliable source of light in the case of an emergency, but they are very cheap and quick to install. However, you must charge the light for a full 24 hours to ensure that the battery is full, before testing the light to make sure that it remains on for the minimum time required.
There are 2 main types of emergency light fittings in Broughton-in-Furness: Maintained Fitting and Non-Maintained Fitting. However, many lights have the ability to perform both functions.
Maintained fitting is when the lights are used as a regular light, being used at the same time as the other lights within the building, however, when the other lights switch off due to a power failure, these lights will continue to run at a lower light level.
Non-Maintained lights are usually kept switched off, with their batteries being constantly charged, with a green coloured LED light showing when the battery is fully charged. These lights are switched on automatically when there is a power cut within the building, using their battery supply, these lights are typically in the form of emergency exit signs, as opposed to the regular lights within the building.
