Emergency Lighting Design Requirements

I. TRADITIONAL MINI INVERTERS

ISOLITE

E3MINI: TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

Chalk Talk

- Emergency Lights Must Activate within 10 Seconds of Emergency

Performance Requirements

- 0.1fc Minimum at Any Point on Egress Path

- 40:1 Or Less Ratio of Maximum:Minimum Brightness

- Emergency Lights Must Remain Illuminated for At Least 90 Minutes

Opportunities for Innovation

- Fixtures Are Either On or Off

- 100% Power Utilized In Emergency Mode (Often a Benefit)

Simple Switched Interfaces

Opportunities for Innovation

Potential Issues

- Number of Zones vs. Battery Capacity vs. Emergency Light Level

- Limiting Zones Poorly Utilizes Battery Capacity

​- Utilizing Battery Capacity Could Result in Out of Compliance Light Levels

- Optimizing Light Level Requires External Hardware 

Balancing Act
