There's no fixed mounting height specified on the datasheet or instructions, because the correct height depends on the illuminance required at floor level and the spacing between fittings.
The heights below assume the design criterion is 0.2 lx minimum at floor level on the escape route, being the minimum required by AS/NZS 2293.1. If a higher illuminance is required — for example 1 lx along the centreline of a clear path, or elevated levels for high-risk task areas, plant rooms or open areas — mounting heights and spacings will need to be reduced accordingly.
Based on the photometric data for this luminaire (223 cd peak, ~572 lm, ~97° beam, adjustable heads):
- 2.4–3.0 m — standard wall-mount range for corridors, offices, plant rooms and retail. Comfortable spacing, heads aimed along the escape route.
- 3.0–4.0 m — works well in industrial and back-of-house areas; heads aimed more steeply.
- 4.0–6.0 m — achievable in warehouse and high-bay applications, provided spacing is reduced accordingly and the heads are aimed to suit.
- Minimum ~2.2 m — keep above door head height, out of reach, and out of direct line of sight to limit glare.
Please note: the figures above are indicative only, derived from the luminaire's photometric file under ideal conditions and based on the 0.2 lx minimum. Actual performance depends on room geometry, surface reflectances, obstructions, luminaire spacing, aiming angle and the maintenance factor applied. Emergency lighting layouts must be confirmed by a qualified lighting designer or electrical engineer against AS/NZS 2293.1, using the luminaire's AS/NZS 2293.3 classification and the corresponding spacing tables. Evolt does not provide compliance certification for a specific installation.
