The emergency lighting fixture is not designed to look attractive. It is not made and used for its artistic value. They serve a very specific purpose and are designed with function in mind rather than form. The question is where to place an emergency lighting fixture. First of all, the lighting fixture should be placed high enough so that it is not easily disturbed. The lighting fixture should not, however, be placed so high as to create problems for maintenance personnel. There should be a good balance between the two so the lighting fixture is not easily disturbed, yet accessible enough that maintenance personnel can perform the required services. They should also be placed in areas that do not receive natural light. Light can not bend, so if a room is situated at a ninety degree angle to an adjacent room, it will not receive any light from the outside. There should be enough lights placed so that the entire room remains sufficiently lit. Remember, these lights are specifically used in the case of an emergency, so their function is to guide people to the proper exits. The more lights you use to safeguard you building, the better. Remember these tips the next time consider your companies safety requirements.
