Emergency lighting for ships
Emergency lighting is an important part of the lighting on a ship. Even in the case of emergency, the environment must be illuminated, which the case itself can bring. Exit lighting, Low Location Lighting (LLL) and luminaires with an emergency battery are all part of this.
Lighting for emergency situations
The emergency lighting that we offer can be roughly divided into three different types of lighting:
- Emergency fixtures, fixtures based on 24V or fixtures with built-in battery or emergency lamp
- Escape route marking (incl. EXIT signs)
- Escape route marking at the ground, known as low location lighting

Technical lighting with battery
Glamox offers various fixtures that provide minimal lighting when the main power fails. There are various fixtures, including fluorescent fixtures, LED fixtures and LED downlights, which are available as emergency lighting. In practice, a small proportion of all ceiling luminaires are often equipped with an emergency battery, so that at least minimal lighting is maintained at the most important locations during a power outage.
The emergency lighting fixtures can be roughly classified as follows:
• Central, with an extra connection option for 24VDC, with a B15 or E14 fitting;
• Decentralized, a built-in battery;
• Small LED luminaires, which are only intended for emergency lighting
The separate LED fixtures therefore light up on the basis of the emergency network, instead of the normal lighting. An example of this stand-alone lighting with built-in battery are the types E85 and E20, which are available in a

Stand-alone emergency lighting
Glamox has various stand-alone emergency lighting fixtures in its range:
- E85R
- E85S
E85R
E85-S is a recessed escape route lighting or anti-panic emergency lighting system based on LED. The housing is made of aluminum and a galvanized sheet steel housing, the insert is made of polycarbonate. There are two different reflectors, a C-reflector for corridors and a wide beam (WB) reflector. The E85R is available in white, other colors on request.
E85S
E85-S is a surface-mounted escape route lighting or anti-panic emergency lighting system based on LED. There is also an E85 luminaire that can be used as an escape route marking. The escape route system, E85-S C, is specially designed for corridors and covers a length of 17 meters with 1 lux on the center line. The anti-panic lamp, E85-S WB, has a circular wide beam light distribution that covers 8 x 8 meters with the required 0.5 lux. E85-S can be supplied with manual activation, self-test execution and centrally controlled testing and monitoring. The battery used is an environmentally friendly NiMh battery. If desired, the luminaire is also available for connection to a centralized battery. With the integrated battery, 1 or 3 hours of emergency operation is possible. The housing is made of aluminium, the surface-mounted box is made of galvanized sheet steel and the insert is made of polycarbonate. Available in white, other colors on request.

Low Location Lighting (LLL)
In addition to the normal escape route marking emergency lighting signs, Glamox also offers an electrical system for escape route marking that can be placed at floor level, which can function as signage during calamities. The system is called Low Location Lighting (LLL or 3L).
A distinction is made between normal emergency lighting and Low Location Lighting. Normal emergency lighting is integrated into the ceiling, but experience has shown that it is ineffective once there is a spark of smoke during a fire. In that case, the installation of a Low Location Lighting system significantly increases the chance of a successful evacuation.
The guidelines of IMO Resolution A.752 (18) and ISO 15370v2 describe the design, approval, installation and maintenance of such a Low Location lighting system. The Glamox Low Location Lighting system meets the requirements of the above-mentioned guidelines and is also MED certified.
The Glamox Low Location Lighting system is based on fixed profiles. In addition to illuminated lines, illuminated symbols can also be integrated into the profiles, such as signs marking an exit or staircase. The Glamox Low Location Lighting System can also be set up dynamically, with the LED lamps showing a direction of movement that points to the nearest exit. In that case, the 3L system is often linked to a central alarm system or fire alarm system, whereby the optimal escape route is dynamically tuned to the spread of the fire on board.
