EMERGENCY LIGHTING MONITORING AND REPORTING SYSTEM
An emergency lighting system with central batteries power remote LED fixtures and exit signs, with all components integrated throughout a single or multiple buildings. Status reports are available on demand and the system will generate written records required by the Life Safety Code. A wide range of fixtures optimized for emergency lighting are available for interior and exterior applications and all can be monitored via internet, with report displays available on any digital device. Easy access to batteries, automated testing, high lumen outputs, efficient optics and long lamp life ensure the lowest possible life cycle costs.
1 . An emergency lighting system comprising:
at least a first circuit that includes a plurality of light emitting diode lighting fixtures which are powered by line power;
a central battery system that provides direct current backup power to the at least first circuit of light emitting diode lighting fixtures;
the central battery system including at least one battery that is adapted to supply direct current to the at least first circuit when the line power is off or fails;
a battery charger connected to the line power; the battery charger maintaining the at least one battery in a charged condition;
a transfer switch configured to connect the battery to the at least first circuit when the line power is off; and
each of a plurality of the light emitting diode lighting fixtures of the first circuit including an emergency lighting control module associated with the fixture; each emergency lighting control module being connected to the first circuit and, in response to battery power in the first circuit, changing the light emitting diode lighting fixture with which it is associated to an emergency operation mode to save battery power using a dimmer control of the light emitting diode lighting fixture.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of light emitting diode lighting fixtures is an exit sign that includes an emergency light emitting diode lighting fixture.
3 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a second circuit that includes a plurality of light emitting diode exit sign lighting fixtures that include emergency light emitting diode lighting fixtures.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein an internet protocol address is provided for each of the light emitting diode lighting fixtures.
