  Increasing the number of construction projects to boost the market growth

  
  

Emergency lighting is used to give illumination when the primary lighting system is damaged, fails, or lights have been switched off or when there are power outages, power shortages, natural catastrophes, or accidents. These lights are placed above or beside exit signs, egress paths, emergency lamps, and refuge zones to allow people to see and safely depart the area. Government rules in nations throughout the globe demand the deployment of emergency lights and signage near exits and emergency routes for appropriate lighting. There are three forms of escape lighting. The growing number of commercial and industrial building projects is driving the need for such lighting goods and consequently has enhanced the emergency lighting market CAGR globally in recent years.

For Instance, some of the regulations for testing and maintaining 'Exit and Emergency Lighting' systems around the world include the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Code of Federal Regulations, NFPA 70 - National Electric Code, NFPA 101 - Life Safety Code, International Fire Code, NFPA 1997 5-9.3, and Standard Fire Prevention Code 1999.

Moreover, rising urbanization across multiple nations and improved living conditions in various locations would likely stimulate demand for emergency lights throughout the study period, another factor driving the growth of the emergency lighting market revenue.

Emergency Lighting Industry Developments

October 2023: With the all-new extreme off-road Emergency Light Kit featuring Infrared (IR) and Blackout, the Polaris GENERAL XP 1000, which combines the unrivaled performance of RZR with the hardworking utility of RANGER, is now prepared for any situation. The durable light system, which comes mounted on a four-seat General XP 4 1000 UTV, will make its public premiere from October 14–17 at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference and Exposition in San Diego, California. 

Additionally, the Polaris XPEDITION, which debuted in June 2023, will make its debut at IACP. The Polaris XPEDITION is a first-of-its-kind crossover side-by-side that combines the all-terrain capabilities of conventional side-by-sides with the comfort and load capacity usually associated with overlanding. With a fuel range of more than 200 miles, a payload capacity of 1,160 pounds, and a towing capability of 2,000 pounds, the vehicle is built to hold more equipment and provide better weather protection. Visitors can also see a three-seat RANGER XP 1000 NorthStar with emergency lighting and a rescue skid on show at the Polaris exhibit. Additionally, the all-electric RANGER XP Kinetic, which has a standalone emergency light system, will be available for hands-on inspection.

A 50-inch tactical lightbar, a 35-inch lightbar, and integrated emergency lights around the vehicle body make up the new robust Emergency Light Kit with IR and Blackout, which offers a complete 360-degree package in a variety of color combinations. When discretion is required, infrared and blackout light solutions provide law enforcement officers the assurance and readiness they need to carry out their duties. For effective communication and vehicle warning, the emergency light package also includes a digital control panel with PA system and a 100W siren speaker. When a car is equipped with PriorityStart, low voltage is recognized and the battery is immediately unplugged to help restart the car when it is most required.   

June 2022: Energy Focus, Inc. has announced the inclusion of three major product lines in the LightFair 2022, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from June 21 to June 23, 2022. RedCap LED Emergency Battery Backup is a general-purpose illumination and emergency backup solution.
