Emergency Battens for Maintained & Non-Maintained Lighting
Emergency battens are used in safety lighting systems where elongated light fittings are required to provide emergency illumination during mains failure. They are commonly installed in corridors, shared spaces, utility areas and commercial buildings where compliant emergency lighting is needed. Emergency battens support maintained and non-maintained applications depending on building design and system requirements.
What Is an Emergency Batten?
An emergency batten is a batten-style luminaire designed to provide illumination under emergency operating conditions. It is selected where a wider emergency light spread or a more linear fitting format is appropriate for the installation.
These fittings are commonly used in buildings requiring designated emergency lighting coverage and are selected based on mounting location, output and emergency operating mode.
Applications in Emergency Lighting Systems
Emergency battens are used in apartment common areas, commercial corridors, amenities, back-of-house areas and public buildings where emergency illumination is required for safe movement during power loss.
They may be installed alongside other emergency lighting products such as emergency lights, with testing supported through an emergency test switch.
Selecting the Right Emergency Batten
Selection should consider maintained or non-maintained operation, fitting size, battery backup requirements, mounting conditions and compliance obligations for the building type.
Application & Integration
Correctly specified emergency battens support compliant backup illumination across internal circulation and service areas, helping maintain safe egress and emergency visibility when normal supply is lost.
