Emergency lighting is required by codes in all commercial buildings to enable safe egress in the event of a power disruption and emergency lighting controls engage when the disruption in power is sensed. These controls override energy efficiency functionalities in the event of an emergency to ensure minimum illumination requirements are maintained and must have the capability to integrate with the overall “smart building” ecosystem. Due to their critical nature during power crises and the increase of smart buildings, emergency lighting controls are growing rapidly and heavily regulated. LVS is a leader, innovator and technical expert in this field, offering a wide range of high-quality products across all three classes of controls, a patented self-testing feature and excellent customer service.
