Tel No

Following a number of well publicised disasters involving major loss of life in high rise buildings, night clubs, underground subway stations and at sea, the Directors of Lightstep increased their efforts to come up with a significant step forward in Life Safety systems.

While the fire and safety industry have adopted the terminology, in reality, little progress was made in developing and making available to the market, any new systems to increase the chances of escape from burning buildings, gas leaks, underground black outs, explosions on land or at sea, capsizing vessels or collapsing tunnels.

Night clubs continued to be a serious concern around the world, high rise buildings over seven storeys remain out of reach of the rescue services, nothing has emerged which can guide the occupants from these environments other than photoluminescent strips on stairwell step treads. But how to find those stairwells?

The age old standard signs above doors, quickly obscured by smoke, and utterly incapable of determining whether the exit is actually safe to go through, or if it will lead into a greater risk area, are still specified into the newest and most stunning and architecturally ambitious projects throughout the world.

In order to achieve a high probability of escape, a system had to be designed which would take advantage of all the development in real time sensors, a system which would use intelligence gathered from sensors throughout an area and over the expanse of a building, no matter how high or complex, to guide the human beings in the building, out of it to safety. In answer to this global need, LIGHTSTEP created the world's first Situation Sensitive, telemetry reactive Intelligent Evacuation System.
