For embarking launched life rafts or for maneuvering lifeboats and rescue boats at night, it is important to have sufficient light at sea level. Powerful floodlights facing downwards onto the sea illuminate the surface of the water and help the crew attach life rafts to rescue boats to be towed out of the dangerous area.
Instantaneous light
In emergency situations, time is critical and so there is no time to wait for discharge lamps to warm up. Light must be available instantly to reduce the risk of injuries.
Emergency backup lighting systems
In a black-out situation, lighting must have a backup system, either centralized or decentralized with an integrated battery backup system.
