Path of egress mode for emergency applications
Luminaires that are part of egress lighting or powered by a backup generator or any other building
wide emergency supply source, can be configured with the “path of egress” mode setting. In this
setting, the luminaire behaves in accordance with the commissioned group and the only
difference is that it never automatically turns off; instead, if the space is unoccupied then
background light level of 27% will be delivered.
SpaceWise luminaires can also be ordered with a Philips emergency driver option. If this
configuration is purchased then luminaires don’t have to be configured as “path of egress”
because of the built in battery capability of the emergency driver and the non-reliance on the
generator back up system. During emergency, the battery will bypass the sensors and therefore
the luminaire will not shut off automatically. When normal power is restored the luminaire will
behave like a standard SpaceWise system.
The “path of egress” luminaire should be powered on the emergency circuit. As long as
the luminaire is powered an adequate light level will be delivered by the luminaire. The
emergency circuit is usually regulated by the backup generator so the system relies on
the generator’s ability to provide power for at least 90 minutes.
