Flexibility and security for your lighting
Our central battery systems (CBS) centrally supply light to safety and escape signs and ensure they operate in all fire compartments. This provides reliable lighting in the event of an emergency.
Technology & practical benefits
Cross-fire compartment supply:
Functional integrity cables ensure reliable power supply to each fire compartment.
Flexible expansion:
Systems can be flexibly expanded via sub-distributors and substations.
Mixed operation:
Emergency and escape sign luminaires can be operated on the same circuit.
Centralised monitoring:
The status of each luminaire is displayed on the PC via web visualisation; automatic tests and storage of the results in the test logbook are included.
Modular design:
Our solutions are modular and are designed individually according to your project specifications.
Easy to maintain:
Our central battery systems are maintenance friendly and easy to service.
Battery technology:
Lithium battery technology systems
Advantages of lithium battery technology
Lithium battery technology offers many advantages over traditional battery technologies. One key advantage is that they are gas-free, which means no special ventilation systems are required, significantly reducing installation costs. Lithium batteries also have an impressive lifespan of over 15 years, reducing maintenance costs and minimising the need for frequent replacement.
Gas free:
No special ventilation systems required, significantly reducing installation costs.
Longer life:
Over 15 years, reducing maintenance costs and minimising the need for frequent replacement.
Less weight and space:
Lithium batteries are up to two-thirds lighter and more compact than conventional batteries.
Intelligent safety monitoring:
An advanced Battery Management System (BMS) continuously monitors key parameters such as temperature and voltage and protects against deep discharge and overcharging.
High efficiency:
Up to 90% of stored energy can be recovered, regardless of the duration of discharge (1hr, 3hr or 8hr).
Temperature resistant:
Lithium batteries work reliably at temperatures from -30 to +60 degrees Celsius and their life is hardly affected at temperatures up to +40 degrees Celsius.
Environmentally friendly:
No acid resistant paint required, less hazardous waste due to longer life and less frequent replacement.
Applications and uses for our central battery systems
Our central battery systems are ideal for a variety of applications:
- Commercial buildings: Providing emergency and security lighting in office and industrial buildings
- Public institutions: Reliable lighting for schools, hospitals and government agencies
- Residential complexes: Ensuring escape route lighting in large residential complexes
Central battery systems provide a flexible and reliable solution for emergency lighting in a variety of applications. Our systems are easy to maintain and provide safe lighting in an emergency.
FAQ
Why is professional safety lighting essential in businesses and public institutions?
Safety lighting ensures the safe evacuation of people and the protection of property in an emergency. It is required by law in buildings with high human occupancy, complex escape routes or critical infrastructure, and minimises risks in the event of power failure, fire or other hazardous situations.
Which standards and regulations are relevant for emergency lighting in commercial and public buildings?
The following standards apply in particular to planning, installation and operation:
- DIN EN 1838: Lighting requirements for emergency lighting and replacement lighting.
- DIN EN 50172: Operation and maintenance of emergency lighting systems.
- ASR A2.3 and A3.4/7: Requirements for escape routes, emergency exits and emergency lighting in workplaces.
- DIN EN 60598-2-22: Product standard for emergency luminaires.
- DIN VDE 0100-560, 0108: Electrical installationssafety lighting. These standards specify minimum illuminance levels, operating times, positioning and maintenance requirements.
What systems and technologies does PERMALUX offer for the B2B sector?
PERMALUX offers: *
- Central battery systems for the central supply of large building complexes
- Decentralised systems for flexible expansion and redundancy
- Dynamic escape route signage and intelligent emergency exit lights
- Customised solutions for industry, healthcare, logistics and public buildings
What requirements apply to the lighting design?
- Escape routes: at least 1 lux illuminance along the centre line
- Open areas: at least 0.5 lux
- Safety signs: must be clearly visible at all times and positioned in accordance with standards
- Colour rendering index: at least Ra 40
- Operating time: generally at least 1 hour, up to 3 hours in sensitive areas
- Uniformity and fast switchover times: required to minimise the risk of tripping and accidents
How is the visibility and effectiveness of emergency signs ensured?
Emergency exit signs must stand out clearly from their surroundings during normal operation and in the event of a power failure. The mounting height and placement are based on the specifications of ASR and DIN EN 1838 to ensure optimum visibility.
What advantages do centralised safety lighting systems offer for larger facilities?
- Centralised monitoring and control
- Efficient maintenance and regular self-tests
- Scalability for complex building structures
- Easy integration into existing building management systems
How does PERMALUX support companies in planning, implementation and operation?
PERMALUX offers:
- Professional needs analysis and lighting simulation
- Project planning and standard-compliant design
- Installation, commissioning and training
- Maintenance, inspection and 24/7 service
- Support with official approvals and documentation
Which industries benefit most from professional safety lighting solutions?
- Industry and production
- Hospitals and care facilities
- Data centres and IT infrastructure
