The thesis consists of an overview of existing and applicable laws and standards in the field of emergency lighting. Good and consistent maintenance of security lighting requires knowledge of all the rules and guidelines, set to certain standards and regulations.
The subject of the thesis is limited to the maintenance of security lighting in a primary school and kindergarten. Inspectors within the Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief carried out research in 2002 which showed that the emergency lighting was implemented and regularly controlled in less than half of the surveyed childcare facilities and schools. We have described all preparation for the examination and control of security lighting in the building. Since the certificate of faultless operation of the built-in fire protection (emergency lighting system) had just expired, we prepared everything necessary for review, carried out by a technical inspector. After the completion of the review and the report of the technical inspector we were awarded another two-year certificate.
We also described the production of a simple autonomy and battery usefulness control system in safety lamps. We used the Arduino system as well as added a display and a flow meter. Circuit measures the current that flows from the battery to the lamp, while the display shows the operating time. At the end of the measurement we are able to read whether the battery had sufficient capacity for a one-hour operation.
