Firstly, to ensure the safety of life

In emergency situations, such as natural disasters such as fires, earthquakes or man-made accidents, the power supply may be interrupted or the lighting equipment is destroyed. So，it is difficult to find an escape channel in the dark environment, and large places can not immediately find Windows, which is easy to cause panic and stampede accidents in the dark. At this time, emergency lighting becomes the first line of defense to ensure the safety of personnel. Emergency lights can play an important role at this time, it can help people quickly see the surrounding environment, find a quick escape route, reduce people's fear and panic, so as to ensure that personnel can safely evacuate.

 

Second, formulate laws, regulations and standards

In the United Kingdom, there are clear laws and regulations on emergency lighting, mainly BS EN 50172:2024, which details the operation and requirements for emergency escape lighting in non-domestic buildings, including the installation requirements for electrical emergency escape lighting, as well as the verification, operation and maintenance documentation and testing requirements of the system. This standard is very important to ensure the performance, compliance and flexibility of emergency lighting systems. The BS 5266 series of standards covers many buildings including hotels, clubs, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, licensed premises, offices, museums, shops, etc., providing clear guidance to emergency lighting designers on the type of emergency lighting, backup duration, and installation, maintenance, and testing requirements. The importance of emergency lighting in building fire safety is emphasized.

Last but not least, those who breach the UK's emergency lighting regulations will face legal liability and administrative penalties.

Therefore, the relevant units and individuals should strictly abide by the relevant regulations and standards to ensure the normal operation and effectiveness of emergency lighting facilities.

 

Third: the embodiment of social responsibility

A company that complies with the law and is responsible for the safety of employees and the public is more likely to win the trust and recognition of the public, which is also very important for the long-term development of the company.

 

how often should emergency lighting be tested  in the UK?

Having understood why it is important to provide emergency lighting in the UK, we have to mention another key aspect that is equally important - and that is the inspection and testing of emergency lighting. As we know, emergency lighting systems play a vital role in emergency situations, but simply installing them isn't enough to ensure that they'll work when the time comes.

 

Specifically, the inspection cycle of emergency lighting may include the following aspects:

I. Regular inspection

1. Daily self-check: arrange for staff to check and record at regular intervals every day

2. Monthly inspection: In addition to the daily self-test, the emergency lighting system also needs a monthly inspection.

3. Annual inspection: A comprehensive emergency lighting system inspection is also required every year, which usually includes longer time and emergency work test, 30 minutes of emergency work every year to apple the condition of the system in a long time emergency condition.

 

Second, the detailed inspection content

 In the inspection process, in addition to the emergency lighting lamps and lanterns for inspection and testing, but also need to pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Lamps and lanterns installation location: to ensure that emergency lighting registered installed in easy to identify the location, such as stairwells, corridors, exits and other escape routes.

2. Lighting effect: check whether the lighting effect of the lamps and lanterns in the emergency state meets the requirements, such as lighting height, lighting range and so on.

3. Power supply and shop; check whether the power supply and circuit of the emergency lighting system are intact, including the capacity and status of the guaranteed power supply.

4. Record and report: Each inspection should record the results in detail, and report and deal with any problems found in time.

 

In order to reduce the enterprise's employment costs and personnel caused by the error, emtrons enterprises in the emergency lighting system inside the installation of a central emergency lighting monitoring system, the main advantages of the product Real-Time Monitoring, Automated Testing, Real-Time Monitoring, Automated Testing, Centralised Control, Centralized Control, Fault Detection, etc.

DALI Emergency lighting system: DALI system complies with international standards for digital lighting control

 

DALI has a communication speed of 1200bps, a maximum transmission distance of 300m, and can pass up to 64 short addresses

Or 16 group addresses to form a network. A host can control one or more slaves.

The voltage on the DALI bus is 16V, the high level range is 9.5-22.5V, and the low level is -6.5-6.5V

Our current DALI system is DALI 2.0

 

The main features of the system :

1. Digital addressable: In the DALI network, each unit has its own independent address and can communicate directly.

2. Multi-channel control: Many different groups are controlled through a pair of control cables in the DALI network.

3. Self-on-off control: The lamp can be turned off directly through the command in the DALI control system, without power control.

4. Two-way control: The user operates the system through the controller, which sends the contained address to all DALI ballasts

And command messages,DALI ballast feedback status information to the controller

 

DALI can realize a variety of control methods, including: single lamp control; Group control; Collective control

 

Advantages of DALI Emergency Lighting system:

1. Easy to install, no special requirements for the wire, no polarity requirements during installation

2. Free topological structure: line, star, tree

3. The system is easily reconfigured for capacity expansion

4. Very simple and flexible control and monitoring of lighting: such as electronic rectifier, LED light source, emergency lighting

The application of this system can be flexible according to customer needs to establish the emergency lighting test frequency, test results; Battery charging status;

Emergency lighting operating time; Charging circuit or battery problem. These detection data will be sent to the user's mobile phone by email, which can achieve real-time monitoring of emergency lighting equipment.

 

This system can be used in: high-end office buildings; The office; Conference room; Tunnel engineering

 

Why choose DALI Emergency System:

1. Meet industry standards

2.DALI system is dedicated for lighting control
