Emergency Lighting in Elevators: Why It Matters and How to Choose

Why is emergency lighting in elevator cabins so important?

Imagine a real-life scenario: a passenger becomes trapped due to a power outage or technical failure.

This situation can lead to stress and discomfort, potentially causing unpredictable reactions and even accidents.

While exact figures are scarce, an estimated over 40,000 people are trapped in elevators each year, sometimes with serious consequences.

For this reason, it is crucial to create the right conditions to help passengers feel calm and secure while they wait inside the elevator cabin.

Solution: Equip the elevator cabin with emergency lighting and safety devices to provide timely assistance while technicians arrive.

Which solutions should you choose for emergency lighting?

The selection depends on several factors: elevator characteristics, user needs, emergency battery autonomy, most importantly: budget considerations.

1. LED LIGHTING WITH INTEGRATED EMERGENCY

A practical and usually cost-effective choice: LED fixtures with built-in emergency lighting. Nauled offers various options depending on the application, such as:

2. DEDICATED EMERGENCY KITS FOR LED SPOTLIGHTS, LED BULBS, CEILING LIGHTS, ETC.

If you already use specific LED light sources (spotlights, bulbs, ceiling fixtures), you can pair them with external emergency kits, for example:

3. POWER SUPPLIES WITH INTEGRATED EMERGENCY

When both regular LED power and emergency backup are required. Examples include: Power Supply L12/41 with Built-in Emergency:

> Compatible with high-power LEDs (up to 4 modules × 1 W) or 12 V / 24 V LED modules

> Supports both continuous lighting mode and emergency-only mode

IN SUMMARY: CHOOSE THE EMERGENCY LIGHTING SOLUTION THAT BEST ALIGNS WITH YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS — EVALUATING ELEVATOR TYPE, USER EXPECTATIONS, BATTERY AUTONOMY, AND BUDGET — WHILE NEVER UNDERESTIMATING HOW VITAL EMERGENCY LIGHTING IS FOR ELEVATOR SAFETY AND USER REASSURANCE.
