Hätälyhty

Hätälyhty, also known as an emergency lantern or escape light, is a type of lighting fixture designed to provide illumination during power outages or other emergencies. These devices are typically battery-powered and are activated automatically when the primary power supply is interrupted. The primary purpose of a hätälyhty is to ensure visibility and safety, allowing people to navigate their surroundings and evacuate buildings if necessary.

Hätälyhdyt are commonly found in public buildings such as schools, hospitals, theaters, and office complexes, as well as in residential buildings. They are often mounted near exits, stairwells, and along escape routes to guide occupants to safety. The brightness and duration of a hätälyhty vary depending on the model and its intended application. Some are designed for short-term use, while others can provide light for several hours.

The design of hätälyhdyt prioritizes reliability and ease of use. They are typically constructed from durable materials and are designed to withstand potential impacts. Maintenance is crucial to ensure their functionality, with regular checks of battery life and light output being standard practice. In many jurisdictions, the installation and maintenance of emergency lighting systems, including hätälyhdyt, are mandated by building codes and safety regulations.
