What are the risks businesses face today?
The ongoing risk of fire
Over a third of businesses never resume operations after a major fire - losing orders, contracts, and key employees. This results in lost jobs and services to the community.
Non-traditional threats
Power outages, terrorism and domestic extremism are a rising cause for evacuation. These risks demand a different approach when planning for safe evacuation. High-profile terrorist attacks can shape regulation.
Each emergency lighting system is important, it protects life and health.
Innovation, tests and compliance for more reliability - We constantly innovate for contemporary design and technologies. Customers light engineering requirements are fully tested at an in-house lighting laboratory.
We also expose newly developed products to extreme conditions and life cycle testing. As a commitment to deliver high quality for all products and employees, Eaton’s emergency lighting manufacturing facilities are certified ISO 9001. Most of our products and complete systems are 3rd party certified.

A self-contained emergency luminaire has its own battery. Under normal conditions, this remains permanently on charge via the mains lighting circuit until the power supply to the luminaire is lost and the battery takes over.
All elements of an SC luminaire micro-system, including battery, lamp, control unit and any test or monitoring equipment, will either be located within the luminaire housing itself or in a directly adjacent enclosure, connected via short cabling (i.e. less than 1m).
A central battery system features ‘slave’ emergency luminaires with no on-board battery. Instead, the luminaires automatically draw power from one centralised battery in the building, supported by a charger, alarms and instrumentation, should mains lighting fail.
Some ‘decentralised’ central battery systems may, however, feature multiple centralised power supply systems – to serve individual floors for example.
