vészvilágítást

Vészvilágítás, also known as emergency lighting, refers to a backup lighting system that activates automatically when a building's primary power source fails. Its primary purpose is to ensure safe egress from a building during power outages, fires, or other emergencies. These systems are crucial for illuminating escape routes, stairwells, exit signs, and other critical areas, allowing occupants to navigate safely and find exits.

The activation of vészvilágítás is typically triggered by a loss of mains power. Upon detection of a power failure, the emergency lighting system draws power from a dedicated battery source, which is designed to provide illumination for a specified duration, often mandated by building codes and safety regulations. These batteries are regularly tested and maintained to ensure their reliability when needed.

Vészvilágítás systems can take various forms, including self-contained units, central battery systems, and generator-powered systems. Self-contained units have their own battery and are often used in smaller installations. Central battery systems serve multiple lights from a single battery bank, while generator-powered systems provide a more robust backup power solution for larger buildings. The design and implementation of vészvilágítás are governed by strict safety standards to guarantee effective operation in emergencies.
