SmartScan Emergency
Thorlux has led the way in developing automatic testing of emergency lighting and visitors will be introduced to our latest system, SmartScan, which brings with it the advantage of wireless technology.
Live Action Emergency Evacuation
Visitors experience an emergency evacuation from a typical school classroom with and without operational emergency lighting. The interactive experience highlights the importance of a compliant installation. Night vision high technology cameras record the event for subsequent review and analysis.

CPD - Lighting for Emergency Situations (LG12)
Emergency Lighting and signage present a number of challenges for the designer, the installer and the end-user. Design requirements vary between different types of buildings, and the needs of specific users should be considered. The building owner has a legal obligation to regularly test and maintain emergency luminaires, but this can be time-consuming and costly.
This presentation considers the issues raised by the current legislative requirements particularly for the designer and the end-user.
It shows how new technologies can be used to address the issues relating to effective emergency lighting provision, and to reduce life-cycle costs for the end-user.
