Fire safety light
View Patent ↗A system is disclosed comprising a smoke detector, a transmitter, several fire safety lights, and control circuitry, mounted on or near the bottom rail of interior and exterior doors along exit paths within the living space. The fire safety lights on all doors along an exit path are wired together and illuminate during a fire in response to a trigger signal from the control circuit to provide a viable exit path for the occupants. The fire safety lights along the exit paths of the living space provide for faster evacuation of the living space, thus potentially reducing injury and possible deaths from the fire.
1 . A fire light safety system comprising:
a smoke detector for generating a fire signal in response to a fire in an interior living space;
a first transceiver located adjacent said smoke detector, responsive to said fire signal from said smoke detector for transmitting said fire signal wirelessly to a control circuit adjacent said fire safety lights;
a control circuit responsive said fire signal for generating a trigger signal to control the illumination of said fire safety lights, wherein said control circuit includes a second transceiver for receiving said fire signal from said first transceiver and generating a trigger signal;
a plurality of fire safety lights responsive to said trigger signal; and
an enclosure for carrying said plurality of fire safety lights and said control circuit, said enclosure open on one end adjacent said fire safety lights and mounted to a bottom rail of an interior door along an exit path of a building.
2 . The fire safety system as recited in claim 1 , wherein said enclosure is mounted to the bottom rail of an exterior portion of the interior door.
