In hotels, restaurants and bars guests change every day – many know neither the stairwells nor the exits. In a fire, smoke or power cut the escape route must therefore be visible immediately. That takes properly planned exit signs, safety and escape route lighting, regular testing and complete documentation – easiest done digitally via app.
Changing guests, unfamiliar routes
In hotels, restaurants and bars, guests change daily. Many don't know the building or where the stairwells and exits are – and hotel guests may have to find their way at night, woken from sleep.
This high turnover is exactly what makes reliable escape route and safety lighting indispensable.
Fire, smoke or power cut: the escape route must stay visible
Restaurants add further risks: hot surfaces, electrical equipment, fats and oils or open flames in the kitchen. At the same time, dimmed lighting, full dining rooms and an unfamiliar setting mean exits must be recognisable quickly and clearly in an emergency.
Yet emergency lighting is easily overlooked day to day. Test deadlines slip, batteries age unnoticed and, at worst, defects only show up at the fire inspection.
Upgrading means more than installing new luminaires
A reliable solution includes:
- properly planned exit signs to ISO 7010,
- safety and escape route lighting to EN 1838,
- regular function and duration tests and
- complete documentation in the logbook.
The detailed requirements are described on emergency lighting for hotels and emergency lighting for restaurants.
Maintenance via app: an overview instead of paper folders
With NOTLUX, management and department heads can easily follow the condition of the emergency lighting: tests, results, deadlines and defects are documented digitally and quickly available when needed – even across several buildings or sites.
What is easily overlooked stays visible. And for a fire inspection, test or insurance question, the proof is right there.
Emergency lighting you no longer have to worry about
