Emergency Lighting
Authentic Emergency Luminaires
Genuine Thorn Emergency Products
With over forty years experience in emergency lighting manufacturing,
Thorn only offer products that are designed, manufactured and tested to meet
the latest European legislation, including:
•EN 60598-1 1998
•EN 60598-2-22 1998
•BS 5266-1 and 7: 1999
•BS 5499-1 and 4: 2000
•CE mark
Thorn only produce specifically designed emergency luminaires to comply with
these increasingly stringent requirements. Thorn does not convert standard products.
High quality components, such as diffusers and batteries, are always used by
Thorn to ensure optimum performance in all situations and full compliance with
the full range of standards and regulations.
Thorn emergency fittings are tested in our BSI-registered photometric laboratory,
to ensure correct light output levels can be achieved. These figures can then
be used to calculate the best possible emergency lighting design scheme and
reduce the level of on-site testing prior to hand over.
Regulations on Electro-magnetic Compatibility (EMC) state that luminaires
should not emit or be susceptible to electro-magnetic radiation above certain
designated levels. Recent revisions to these standards require luminaires to still
meet these levels when operating in the emergency mode. All Thorn emergency
fittings comply with these requirements.
Integrated Emergency
Luminaires: Authentic Products
vs Third Party Conversions
There are two main ways of
producing integrated emergency
luminaires:
• Specific emergency versions
of standard fittings
This type of emergency fitting is
produced alongside the standard
versions of the same fitting, using
the same production methods but
to a specific and tested design.
• Converted standard
luminaires
These products are finished
versions of standard luminaires
that are then fitted with an
emergency kit at a later date.
