Emergency Lux Levels in fornt of a DB

Apostolos

Good morning

Excuse my question if it sounds a bit naive

What is the Emergency Lux Level we need in front of a Distribution Board?

I always thought this was a case of 15lux (high risk area) however checking again BS5266 I cannot verify it unless its in front of my eyes and I am missing it.

Thanks

    Do you need to have any fixed source of  light at a DB at all ?  I've certainly stood in front of some where to bring your own  torch  was an essential pre-requisite.

    I assume this is in a building which already has electric lights, but I suspect many outbuildings, basements, service tunnels etc are not lit to any recognized  standard as they are not occupied areas or routes to or from other places

    Candles when I were a lad. And you had to replace the fuse wire.
