Where are EEPL lights located?

Where are EEPL lights located?

• A. Under seats
• B. Ends of seat groups and aisle bulkheads
• C. On the ceiling above passengers
• D. In overhead bins

Answer: (B)

Emergency Escape Path Lighting is meant to mark the actual path passengers should follow to exits, even in smoke or darkness. To be effective, these lights must be at floor level along the route, where they won’t be obscured by seats or overhead structures and will remain visible as you walk. That’s why they’re placed at the ends of seat groups and along aisle bulkheads—the points where the escape path changes direction and where the floor path is most easily followed toward the exits. Ceiling lights are for general illumination, and lights under seats or in overhead bins wouldn’t reliably highlight the path or remain visible in an evacuation.
