This paper presents results from 18 people who have passed through a smoke filled building under six types of emergency lighting. Their walking speeds are analysed to show which lighting systems allow people to walk along the route most quickly. It is shown that high mounted lighting that is similar to that called for by British Standard 5266 causes people to walk significantly slower than the tested wayguidance systems. Normal overhead lighting also causes people to walk more slowly than some of the wayguidance systems tested.
