We survey lux-critical points—changes of direction, stairs, exits, fire equipment and open areas—then specify maintained or non-maintained luminaires accordingly. Installation includes correct legends, spacing and central battery or self-contained autonomy as designed. Planned testing regimes catch failed batteries before an evacuation is compromised.
