Which locations illuminate when the emergency lighting system is activated?

• A. Exit signs at each exit; Lights on sides of overhead bins or ceiling; Exterior lighting; Emergency escape path lighting
• B. Only exit signs at each exit
• C. Only emergency exit path lighting
• D. Only lights on sides of overhead bins or ceiling

Answer: (A)

Emergency lighting is meant to reveal every element that helps people find exits and move to safety when normal lighting fails. It lights the exit signs at each door so the exact location of the exits is obvious in darkness or smoke. It provides escape path lighting along the cabin, including lights on the sides of overhead bins or the ceiling, so you can follow a clear illuminated route rather than searching for a way out. It also includes exterior lighting around doors and other external areas to aid evacuation from the aircraft and to help locate open exits from outside. All of these components work together, so during an emergency the system illuminates all those locations, not just one part. Other options fail to provide the full, integrated illumination that supports a safe evacuation.
