Emergency stairways are seldom used by employees and almost never used by members of the public until an emergency situation occurs. Emergency stairways and their adjoining corridors can be unwelcoming places with bare plaster walls and minimal lighting and this can be made worse by smoke and panic. There is often uncertainty about where the route will lead, and how far there is still to travel to reach the final exit. This can be a very anxious time, with the fire alarm still sounding and no knowledge of the whereabouts of any emergency, event or potential building collapse. This situation is considerably more anxious for the disabled and visually impaired.
Lightstep will provide a global market with the answer to a global need for new standards of Life Safety, providing their unique Intelligent Evacuation Technology which for the first time, enables building designers to install a Situation Sensitive and Reactive Led Lighting pathway and safe Exit Door identification system, combined with the best available Stairwell illumination product in the world.
Lightstep will incorporate RF ID into our systems to enable identification of those inside the danger area, define numbers gathered or evacuating all parts of buildings, allowing First Responders to accurately plan the Rescue Strategy while monitoring their own teams to ensure both their safetly and ability to provide optimum service.
Lightstep have developed a range of products for use in office blocks, shopping centres, airports, train stations, underground stations, restaurant, pubs, clubs, hotels, football stadiums or any enclosed area which are designed to dramatically improve the ability of people to evacuate these closed spaces in the event of an emergency or terrorist attack.
The company is recognised as a leader in the field of intelligent evacuation technology with its products having the unique ability to direct evacuees away from any event, rather than being blocked into a predetermined fixed evacuation plan that may lead people into rather than away from danger.
