An emergency light is designed to come on when the power goes out. It is really essential for any public places or residential area. Usually this refers to a lighting fixture that is specifically intended to provide light for a crisis, or power outage.
The emergency lights usually consist of one or more incandescent bulbs or one or more clusters of high-intensity light-emitting diodes (LED). LEDs are not new. LED means Light Emitting Diode, a semiconductor device that converts electricity from the motion of light electrons. It was invented in Russia by a technician named Oleg Vladimirovich radio Losey in 1920s.
The earliest models were incandescent light bulbs which could dimly light an area during a blackout and perhaps provide enough light to solve the power problem or evacuate the building. It was quickly realized, however, that a more focused, brighter, and longer-lasting light was needed. The modern emergency floodlight provides a high-lumen, wide-coverage light that can illuminate an area quite well. Some lights are halogen, and provide a light source and intensity similar to that of an automobile headlight.
Most emergency light will run off of battery operated power that you install with the emergency lighting fixtures. This is so that the lights will successfully operate in any situation, and during a power outage. Escape route lighting is probably the most commonly found battery operated emergency light type.
We can find many types of emergency lighting at a standard department store. But for larger fixtures, or more complicated settings, you’ll need a home improvement store where we can find the right type of emergency lighting for our space, so that we can feel safe no matter what a power outage. What we need is just to make sure to change emergency light batteries when necessary, and test the lights at least once a month to ensure that they still function.
