What are the different types of emergency lighting systems?

1. Self-contained emergency lighting system: This type of system has self-contained battery backup units that are capable of providing power to emergency lighting fixtures in case of a power outage.

2. Central battery emergency lighting system: This system centralizes the battery backup units to one central location, known as the central battery room. The emergency lights are connected to this central source of emergency power.

3. Computer-controlled emergency lighting system: This system is a combination of self-contained and central battery emergency lighting systems operated by a computer. It provides constant monitoring and testing, and any faults are immediately indicated.

4. Automatic sensing emergency lighting system: This system uses motion sensors to detect movement and automatically turn on emergency lighting only when human activity is detected.

5. Standby power emergency lighting system: This system includes a standby generator that provides power during a power outage, making it ideal for high-risk or mission-critical applications.
