What is the purpose of emergency lighting in the machine room?

Emergency lighting in the machine room is essential for ensuring safety during power outages. In situations where the main power supply is lost, emergency lighting provides critical illumination, allowing personnel to navigate safely through the machine room. This illumination helps to prevent accidents and injuries that could result from the sudden loss of light, which might obscure hazards or lead to missteps in an area where heavy machinery is present. By maintaining visibility, the emergency lighting ensures that operators can effectively respond to emergencies, perform necessary functions, or evacuate the area safely. The presence of such lighting is often mandated by safety regulations to protect workers and facilitate emergency protocols.
