The story behind the product

"balance and refinement are the key elements of the PENDULUM collection, inspired by the timepiece, with its mesmerizing and hypnotic qualities. The PENDULUM collection emanates light, which appears to oscillate in concentric bands from the light source, encased and diffused by the mouth-blown, curved glass."

Emergency Egress Lighting

How to set up your system and what you need to know

02-EMERGENCY-essential-header-980x277 image

Egress” is a term meant to describe exiting / getting out of a place. You may hear the term “path of egress” or “means of egress” to describe the actual hallway that directs people to safety during power outages, for instance. (This is in contrast to the word “ingress,” which describes getting inside, e.g. electronics that safeguard against water getting into them are said to have ingress protection and use “IP” ratings to indicate how water resistant they are, etc.)

However, emergency / egress lighting solutions are those that illuminate paths of egress and/or indicate to building occupants what the fastest exit route is in which direction when there’s an outage or emergency. This can take the form of Emergency LED lighting solutions, LED Exit signs (with or without chevrons) or combination EXIT and Emergency lighting to provide a path of egress during outages.

What exactly is emergency egress?

It’s a means of egress / exit access for life safety purposes that, when there is a power failure, usually involves the use of emergency lighting systems to direct building occupants to safety. There are life safety code or building code lighting requirements for adequate means of egress illumination. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) publishes the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code® which, according to their website “is the most widely used source for strategies to protect people based on building construction, protection, and occupancy features that minimize the effects of fire and related hazards.” They continue by describing the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code as being “unique in the field,” and that “it [the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code] is the only document that covers life safety in both new and existing structures.”

You may look up the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code or any of their other codes here.

Emergency egress lighting requirements are present beyond the U.S., however, and must comply with the respective international building code of any region that Fulham emergency egress lighting systems are exported and used.

Emergency lighting systems are used beyond providing emergency illumination indoors. Outdoor rated EXIT signs or emergency fixtures can also provide a means of egress or path of egress in exterior lighting emergency illumination. These means of egress have their own egress lighting requirements as recommended in order to conform with building code.
