What you get

Emergency lighting calculation to EN 1838

Escape routes

Minimum 1 lux along the centre line of escape routes, with uniformity per EN 1838.

Anti-panic areas

Open-area (anti-panic) lighting with the required level and coverage.

High-risk task areas

Higher levels for high-risk task areas where required by the application.

Compliance proof

Calculation report documenting compliance — ready for handover and tender review.

Compliant with EN 1838

EN 1838 sets the minimum levels, uniformity and duration for escape-route, anti-panic and high-risk-area lighting. We calculate with real luminaire photometry so the result is defensible at handover.
