Abstract The purpose of safety lighting is to come into operation in case of a breakdown of normal lighting, to allow the evacuation of the occupants to the exterior of the building without panic.

Topics covered include: signalling lighting; ambience lighting; types of autonomous power supplies; types of buildings requiring safety lighting; classifications, standards and regulations applicable in France.
