Emergency light fittings are important to light up areas in commercial and residential buildings in instances where the main power has failed. They include batteries as a backup power source, continuously charging to ensure there is always an alternative in the worst circumstances. A battery power source must be able to power a light fitting for at least 3 hours and with emergency light fittings, output is reduced to conserve power.

There are five primary product areas for which emergency light fittings are particularly suitable; LED edge lit "Green man" signs, LED backlighting "Green Man" signs, Escape route markers, Open area lighting and First Aid Station Area Lighting.

For each of these areas, emergency light fittings are important to offer a backup source of light when power is cut, but also to illuminate exit points and escape routes should the need arise and also to ensure that first aid areas are clearly signposted even in the worst circumstances, so help can be attained. Emergency light fittings can either be maintained fitting, built in as part of the normal light fittings, continuing to operate when the main power fails. Non-maintained fittings are switched off but continuously charging, kicking in to power when the main source fails.
