Technology
In schools in particular, gymnasiums are often fitted with ball-proof equipment to prevent damage from flying balls and to protect the facilities.
When equipping this school in the Ländle region, the architect clearly wanted to design an emergency sign that was both ball-proof and attractive.
A STRING ARC emergency sign luminaire was installed with a Plexiglas cover, flush with the wall and rimless to prevent balls from being thrown. The approval and implementation of the project proved to be time-consuming, as the sampling went through several instances before it could finally be approved and realised. Since then, nobody in this gymnasium has had to worry about damaging anything in the event of a sharp shot – at least not the emergency lighting.
Revitalisation
Our challenge was to develop suitable safety luminaires that can be used both in continuous operation and in emergencies and can be integrated in the same housing as the general luminaire.
Not emergency light
The solution was an escape sign disc with rope suspension, which is mounted above the checkout. This gives customers a clear indication of whether the checkout is currently occupied.
