A method for testing an emergency lighting product connected to a network includes creating, at a network control device, a first test schedule for causing the emergency lighting product to perform a test, where the test is scheduled to be performed by the emergency lighting product based on a signal received from the network control device after a first time period. The method further includes creating, at the emergency lighting product, a second test schedule for causing the emergency lighting product to perform the test after a second time period, where the second time period is longer than the first time period and begins at the same time as the first time period, and determining, by the emergency lighting product after the second time period, that the signal has not been received from the network control device, and performing, by the emergency lighting product, the test.

Aspects are described for a test configuration for emergency lighting fixtures. In one example, a light fixture includes a lighting element, a battery, a clock, and a processor. The processor is configurable via a user interface. The processor is configured to test the light fixture. The testing includes illuminating the lighting element for a predetermined duration using the battery as a power source. The testing is initiated by a timer that uses the clock. The processor of the light fixture receives input, via the user interface, adjusting a value for the start timer. Based on the start timer expiring, the processor initiates a test of the light fixture for the predetermined duration. The processor further indicates a result of the test via the user interface. Based on the test being successful, the processor resets the start timer.

Test configuration for emergency lighting fixtures

Aspects are described for dual-distribution lighting devices. For example, a dual-distribution lighting device includes a forward-throw module with a first lighting element that can provide directional light, a wide-throw module with a second lighting element that can provide light with a wide distribution, an interface element that can to receive input, and a processing device. In response to the input being received via the interface element, the processing device deactivates one of the forward-throw and wide-throw modules and activates the other of the forward-throw and wide-throw modules, thereby causing the dual-distribution lighting device to switch between providing directional light and a wide distribution of light.
