In a fire situation it takes less than thirty seconds for conventional ceiling lighting 
and escape route signage to be rendered totally ineffective. Hot smoke rises rapidly
forming a hot layer from the ceiling downwards, naturally, our reaction forces us close
to the floor
where the air is cooler and the smoke less toxic and dense. Inevitably building occupants,
in often unfamiliar surroundings, are faced with reduced visibility and poor directional
guidance, frequently leading to panic and disorientation. As a result, people have been
known to die tragically only a few metres from exits which could have led them to safety. Independent research has proven low mounted emergency lighting systems continue
to provide a highly visible line of light at, or close to floor level, long after other lighting
systems have been completely obscured by smoke.
Low mounted emergency lighting systems clearly identify the escape path and illuminate the escape route, thus improving evacuation times, reducing panic and .ultimately saving lives.
Due to Health and Safety legislation, all buildings in the commercial sector require an emergency escape lighting installation which complies with the relevant standards. Low mounted emergency lighting
systems can exceed these requirements, providing long term safety benefits for the protection of the
building occupants and the commercial reputation of building owners. These systems are effective in
both smoke logged and clear air conditions and can be of major life saving importance in the event of any emergency situation, particularly when smoke may be present.
