        Emergency Lighting

        by Bruno Weis, Hans Finke

        Our reference book on emergency lighting! Focus is on the lighting and electrotechnical requirements for emergency and safety lighting. A large area is taken up by the diverse European and national standards, regulations, and laws.Due to the massive changes in emergency lighting since the previous edition (2017), the book has been completely revised. Extensive changes are made in particular by new possibilities and their implementation by LED technology, which today is used almost exclusively within. "Lighting Requirements" have also been completely revised. New aspects have also been added, such as assembly points, escape routes in outdoor areas, escape route marking for people with mobility impairments, and escape and rescue plans. All current standards, regulations and guidelines have been taken into account. This book covers  - which European and national requirements from product law, occupational health and safety, and building law must be observed, as well as which electrical and lighting engineering standards must be observed, - what the central principles and terms of lighting technology are and mean, - which lighting requirements apply, e.g. for escape and rescue routes, - which specifications apply to emergency lighting - how the specifications for emergency luminaires are to be correctly interpreted and implemented, - how optical safety guidance systems interact with emergency and safety lighting.
