Get a quick first allowance for emergency luminaires, exit signs and product ranges before the formal emergency lighting design is completed.
Project type, area, floors, escape route length and final exit doors.
Stairs, open areas, high-risk rooms, monitored testing and track emergency.
Carry the allowance into quotation notes, product selection and design review.
This emergency lighting calculator gives a first allowance for escape-route luminaires, open-area provision, stair coverage and exit sign positions. It is designed for early quotation and product selection before the full emergency design is drawn.
The result is not a substitute for compliant emergency lighting design. It is a practical way to turn site basics into a product selection and a clear list of checks to carry forward.
The calculator uses area, escape route length, floors, exits and emergency conditions such as stairs or high-risk tasks to estimate a first allowance. It then separates the project into route luminaires, open-area provision, exit signage and checks for the designer.
This gives a practical starting point for contractor pricing, product selection and early coordination before detailed spacing and lux checks are carried out.
Final emergency layouts must still be checked against the relevant standards, building use, risk assessment, mounting positions, testing strategy and site-specific escape paths. A point estimate alone is not enough for compliance.
Self-test, DALI monitoring, maintained versus non-maintained operation and emergency duration all need review against the project brief.
The product suggestions separate general emergency luminaires, exit signs, robust bulkheads and track-compatible emergency options. That makes the result useful for quotation planning as well as concept-stage design review.

No. It is a planning tool only. Final emergency lighting must be designed, installed, tested and commissioned against the applicable standards and building requirements.
No. It estimates likely point count and category mix. Formal design still needs path-by-path photometric validation.
Longer paths usually need more emergency points and more sign coordination, especially where stairs, direction changes or multiple exits are involved.
That depends on the scale of the building, maintenance strategy and compliance process. Larger or more operationally complex sites often benefit from monitored testing.
