  • a typical 'size' dimension for a flat lighting panel is 600mm by 600mm, in line with commonly used dimensions in ceiling square system or arrangement.
  • the LED flat lighting panel in the present invention also has a height or depth which is not limiting, but which is typically several millimetres so as to provide a 'flat panel' shape in relation to the dimensions of the back support panel and front illuminating panel.
  • LEDs can provide power ratings of 10-100 watts, such as 35W or 45W.
  • the arrangement and powering of the LEDs is not further described herein, and is known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the present invention further comprises an emergency lighting pod.
  • the pod may have any suitable size, shape, design and dimensions.
  • the width of the emergency lighting pod is substantially smaller relative to the 'size' dimensions of the back support panel.
  • the emergency lighting pod may be conjoined to the back support panel to form the lighting panel assembly using any suitable 'insert and twist' conjoining system or arrangement. This can include any form of male-female interaction. Preferably, the conjoining achieves securing of the emergency lighting pod to the back support panel.
  • the emergency lighting pod is conjoined to the back support panel via the aperture in the back support panel.
  • the conjoining of the emergency lighting pod to the back support panel may not require locking or another form of conjoining which must be robust against any 'every day' contact.
  • the emergency lighting pod comprises at least one tongue
  • the aperture in the back support panel comprises at least one complementary cutaway.
  • the emergency lighting pod comprises two or more, typically two, three or four, tongues extending from a lower part or base of the emergency lighting pod, and there are a complimentary number of cutaways around the aperture in the back support panel to accept the tongue(s), followed by a twisting motion of the emergency lighting pod relative to the back support panel to move the tongue(s) into a position on one side of the back support panel opposite to the remainder of the emergency lighting pod on the other side of the back support panel.
  • the emergency lighting pod may comprise one or more lights or lighting means known in the art, including LEDs, able to provide sufficient illumination to qualify as emergency lighting in relation to the above defined standards.
  • the emergency lighting is provided through an aperture in the back support panel, optionally the same aperture used to conjoin the emergency lighting pod with the flat lighting panel.
  • Emergency lighting can be defined as 'maintained', i.e. on all the time, or 'non-maintained', i.e. only operating when the normal lighting fails.
  • Emergency systems or individual lighting units can be designed to operate for durations of between 1 and 3 hours after a main power supply fails, and in practice, the 3-hour design is the most popular.
  • Some emergency lighting can be available as switchable units between maintained and non-maintained modes of operation where desired or useful.
