Lighting Design Considerations

Current legislation and design increases the attraction of using
9 central battery systems to provide emergency lighting in a
building.
In particular, an increase in the use of static inverter systems,
which provide an alternative source of power to normal mains
luminaires. These considerations can be summarised as follows:
1. BS 5266 part 7 (EN 1838) specifies increased emergency light

levels than previous standards
2. Slave luminaires, operating from AC/DC and AC/AC central
systems, offer a higher light output and improved spacing
characteristics over comparable self-contained versions of the
same luminaire
3. Compact fluorescent lamps make ideal slave luminaires,
offering high efficiency and appropriate light output for areas
with low ceilings
4. There is an increasing requirement from architects and users
to make emergency lighting as unobtrusive as possible, so
utilisation of the normal mains luminaires is an ideal solution
Through the use of dedicated slave luminaires and conversion

modules for mains fluorescent luminaires, these considerations
can be catered for by both AC/DC and AC/AC central systems. An
illustration of the increased output that can be expected from 8W
slave luminaires compared to self-contained versions is shown in
figure 1.
Fig 1. Light output of different types of luminaire (nominal lamp lumens

based on standard 8 watt fitting)
When performing photometric calculations for converted mains

luminaires with static inverter systems, the full design lumen
output of the luminaire must be taken into account, as the lamps
are powered by conventional ballasts. It is important to ensure
that the use of such high output luminaires in low ceiling areas
does not exceed the uniformity factor limitations. The utilisation
factor should be taken at zero reflectance in line with BS 5266 Pts.

which usually results in significantly improved luminaire spacing
for mains slave luminaires compared with an equivalent low
voltage AC/DC unit. In addition, the combination of higher
supply voltage and the resultant reduced input current reduces
installation costs by allowing the use of smaller distribution
cables than would be required with a lower voltage AC/DC
system.

System Control and Mode of Operation

It is a requirement of any correctly designed emergency lighting
system that the emergency lighting is activated both in the event
of complete mains failure, and also in the event of a local mains
failure. The emergency lighting system can have luminaires that
are maintained or non-maintained. Similarly, the central battery
unit can also be maintained or non-maintained operation. The
following diagrams explain how activation of the emergency
lighting is achieved, using the main types of central battery
systems.
Central systems with dedicated slave luminaires
9 a. Non-maintained central battery unit with sub-circuit

monitors
With this method, relays are used to monitor the normal
lighting supplies. The contacts of these relays are wired in a
series loop such that in the event of failure of any of the normal
lighting supplies, the loop is broken, sending a signal to the
central battery unit to activate all of the emergency luminaires.

Battery Room Ventilation

Vented batteries, such as nickel cadmium, plante and flat plate
lead acid emit potentially explosive gases under charge conditions.
Therefore it is important when selecting rooms for emergency
lighting central battery systems with these types of battery, to
calculate the amount of ventilation required. The required number
of air changes per hour (A) is given by the following formula:
A = 0.045 x N x I
V
Where:
N = Number of cells in the battery
V = Volume of room in cubic metres
I = Charge rate in Amperes
This formula will give the number of air changes per hour required
during boost charge conditions. On float charge (systems are
on float charge for most of their service life), the amount of gas
emitted is approximately 1.5% of that liberated whilst on boost
charge and under most circumstances this will be dissipated by
natural ventilation, and will not present a hazard. However, we
recommend that the boost charge condition is allowed for at the
design stage to ensure the appropriate decision on ventilation
requirements is made.
Although Valve Regulated Lead-Acid Batteries require little
ventilation under normal operating conditions, it is good practice to
apply the formula to calculate the number of air changes required
to achieve minimum risk under battery fault or failure conditions.

I = maximum load current • Using larger cables (= lower resistance and therefore lower volt
VDM = volts drop per amp per metre (obtained from fig. 5) drop)

therefore lower volt drop)
Example:
Fig. 6 and 7 show an example comparison for a central battery
system with a total connected load of 1500W and a 50m run of
16mm2 cable supplying the luminaires.
This example shows that for this configuration, a 230V system
would be most suitable to meet the requirements of BS 5266. The

Note: SMCB units use changeover relays, so the maintained function should be provided by the normal mains control gear. However, the module
will operate on either AC or DC enabling it to operate with a maintained central system in the emergency conditions.

Notes:
1. VA ratings assume power factor capacitors are fitted
2. Watts and VA figures based on typical control gear data, for system design purposes
3. The above lumen data is based on output from triphosphor lamps. De-rate by 15% if halophosphate lamps are used
4. Lumen output figures include the effects of lamp and luminaire ageing, end of discharge voltage and cable volt drop
5. Data for 230V AC/AC SMCB unit available on application
