In many instances, lack of good lighting management results in an enormous amount of energy wastage when luminaires are left on in plant rooms that are unoccupied for days.
SmartScan Internal can ensure that energy is not wasted by turning luminaires off when the plant room is vacated.
More DetailsEmergency Lighting
BS 5266-1 recommends emergency lighting be provided to allow safe egress. If, in the event of an emergency, some-one needs to access control panels or other items in the plant room, then 15 lux is required in the plane of the visual task. A Risk Assessment should therefore determine where emergency lighting is required and the appropriate illumination level.
High ambient temperatures can be an issue for maintained emergency luminaires, so the surface mount %Firefly Surface% and %Firefly Plus Surface% are ideal.
