This guide has been retired

This page previously covered AS/NZS 2293 emergency and exit lighting compliance, but contained figures that didn’t match the current standard, including the escape route illuminance minimum, the required discharge test interval and the logbook retention period. Rather than leave two conflicting sources of truth live, this page has been retired in favour of a single, verified guide.

Go to the current guide: Emergency Lighting and LED: AS 2293 Compliance, Battery Backup and What Actually Gets You Failed covers everything this page did, with corrected figures and additional detail on central battery DC compatibility and LED light source life assessment.
