Tools for emergency lighting design, installation & management

Emergency lighting design follows building design

When you start designing an emergency lighting system for a commercial property, the first things you need to consider are related to the building design. Even if you are familiar with the basics of emergency lighting and know how to design the correct system, it is of utmost importance that the system will fit the building type and usage. A deep understanding of the building and its users is key when considering the right emergency lighting products for your project. 

From project planning to on-going maintenance, Eaton's tools help you at every step of the way

Designers of emergency lighting systems must consider many aspects like building size, building usage, product locations, formats sizes and distances and of course meet the regulations. Eaton offers architects, designers, builders, installers and engineers a variety of tools including, videos, guides and 3D BIM CAD models to model every detail of a building with Building Information Modeling.
