Interior Emergency Lighting
Interior emergency exit lights are located:
• in the lower inboard corner of stowage bins to illuminate the aisle
• over the entry/service and overwing emergency doors to indicate the
door exits
• in the ceiling to locate the exits and provide general illumination in the
area of the exits.
Self–illuminating exit locator signs are installed at the forward, middle, and aft
end of the passenger cabin.
A photoluminescent floor path marking system is installed along the cabin aisle.
The photoluminescent material, when excited by light, will glow and provide exit
path guidance. At the exit, electrically operated lights and markers provide exit
identification.
The photoluminescent strips need to be properly charged. The table below
contains charging information and can be used to determine how long the strips
remain illuminated. For charging, the cabin ceiling, and sidewall lights need to be
on at full intensity, and the strips should not be covered or blocked.
Photoluminescent Lighting systems with strip colors other than blue.
