Emergency Lighting and Nurse Call Systems

Emergency lighting systems are essential safety installations that activate automatically during power failures, ensuring continued illumination in critical areas. These systems comprise backup power supplies, LED-based lighting units, and sophisticated control mechanisms that maintain visibility during evacuations or emergency procedures.

Nurse call systems are advanced communication networks that enable patients or residents to alert healthcare staff when assistance is needed. These systems range from basic push-button alerts to sophisticated platforms integrating multiple safety and communication features.
