Energy consumption
Emergency lighting consumes an enormous amount of energy. In addition, in the Netherlands we produce a total of 456 million kilos of CO2 emissions per year in emergency evacuation lighting and standby or replacement lighting. The so-called combination luminaires for escape route lighting and escape route indication consume a large part of the energy consumption. For example, in addition to the environmentally harmful CO2 emissions, there are also a lot of costs such as inspection, maintenance and energy consumption that come back every year.
The transition from fluorescent to LED already saves around 40% to 50% energy, but these are still much more expensive than the emergency lighting from Betalux because this emergency lighting consumes no energy at all and does not require maintenance and checks.
