This is Part 2 of a two-part series on emergency lighting. Picking up where Part 1 left off, we’ll start by exploring how you can provide emergency lighting using distributed sources of emergency power (e.g., integral batteries). Next, we’ll present a review of new methodologies that various Networked Lighting Control systems use to provide emergency lighting, while complying with current code requirements (such as NFPA 101). We’ll then provide a detailed review of the process of using computer software to perform calculations verifying normal and emergency egress lighting requirements, as well as touch on a few other emergency lighting-related issues.
