The Question you need to ask ....

What do I have in place should the emergency backup system fails during an evacuation ?

Many stairway has been designed without any windows... therefore all light sources are from the buildings own lighting system.  Should the power system fails,  the entire stairway may be subjected to total darkness....What can you do to ensure the evacuees are able to exit the building safely ?  

Our solution has been designed to address this critical issue :

* Provides tread-level illumination for evacuees
 
* Independant of building's power system.
 
* All-Aluminum-based system - longer durability & higher temperature resistance.
 
* Complements the stairway's current emergency backup system - Enhance its reliability by providing guidance to evacuation during emergency electrical system failure/damage.
 
* Can be fully charged by the stairway's  current lighting levels in most cases.
 
* Help to reduce stampede, panic, and risks of injuries, helps to facilitates an ordering evacuation.

Photoluminescent markers installed at the left and right sides of each stair tread surface.  providing limited illumination for stair tread proximity identification.

 
Tread side and partial edge illumination for the tread-level identification.   

 
 
Full illumination of stair tread-level across the entire width. Helps to identify the edges of the stair steps.

 
Perimeter-marking Systen assists in :
 
1) Identifying the decline angle of the stairway.
2) Provide partial illumination of the stairway.
3) Provide a point of reference along the walls for evacuees to follow as they descend the stairway.
 
Can be equipped with directional arrows for evacuation direction guidance.
