Emergency lighting falls into two groups. Commercial emergency lighting includes illuminated exit signs, battery-backed emergency fixtures and combination units that switch on automatically when power fails, helping people leave buildings safely. Home and personal emergency lighting includes plug-in night lights that turn on during outages, rechargeable lanterns, solar and hand-crank lights, and headlamps.
For commercial buildings, fire and building codes set requirements for exit signs and emergency lighting, including placement, duration, illumination and regular testing, and installation is typically done by qualified electricians. Specifications include battery type, backup duration, lumen output, self-test features and mounting.
For home use, look at brightness, runtime, charging options such as USB, solar or crank, and water resistance. Keep lights charged and stored where they are easy to find in the dark.

- Compare battery backup duration and lumen output for commercial units.
- Look for self-testing fixtures to simplify required inspections.
- For home lanterns, compare brightness, runtime and charging options like USB, solar or hand crank.
- Have hardwired fixtures installed by a qualified electrician.
