Acuity Brands has released STAR-enabled life safety solutions that allow mobile devices to have wireless access to code-required emergency lighting test and status reports. STAR, or Self-Testing Automated Reporting, is an app for iOS or Android mobile platforms that pairs with STAR-enabled emergency lighting products from Lithonia Lighting and IOTA.
Exit signs and emergency lighting units with this feature have Bluetooth technology that allows users to view and download test data for emergency lighting within the STAR app. Monthly and annual test data can be stored or shared for reference to comply with life safety record-keeping requirements.
