when power is lost, the emergency lights immediately turn on and are powered by a battery that is usually contained inside of the unit though sometimes a light may be powered by a separate battery pack. when there is power, the battery is kept charged so it is full when power is lost.

I'm not a generator expert. But I believe I know why you don't have generators backing up your house: 1: You'd then need to evenly split the load between the generators (therefore being 4 headaches on figuring that out.) Therefore it'll hopefully prevent overheating/overload of 1 or all of them. 2: With that, you'd need probably 4 if not more generators. You'd then need them to come on at the same time. 3: You'd have to figure out where to safely exhaust them. 4. With this project all together you'd probably be spending more money then you'd like to. There's probably more reasons but my comment would be super long. But i think those are some of the reasons why.

@wibwabz8 күн бұрын
IDEA: what if you turned the recessed light in the stairwell above the fire door in the house to an emergency light? (same fixture, just with a battery connected somewhere). there is a way to do this, i see AC fixtures all the time with a plate on the ceiling next to it with a battery charge indicator and test button. the light switch still controls the light but when power is lost, the light is always on, the switch position doesn't matter.
