How much light do the EL lamps in the LiteGuide system generate?
Electroluminescent light output can be adjusted based on the power it is given with typical usage values of 20 Foot Lamberts or 68,000 millicandelas. Extensive testing in smoke filled environments has shown that a light output of 1Foot-Lambert or 3500 mcd/m2 is visible from over 20 feet in 100% smoke obscuration. The LiteGuide system using EL is designed to have a minimum output of 5 FL or 17,000 mcd/m2.
