Abstract

An emergency lighting device for tunnels has a low power consumption and constitutes a simplification of emergency installations in tunnels. It comprises a hollow bar (1) adapted to be attached to a side- wall (2) of a tunnel, at an ergonomically appropriate height for its use as a support by the users of the tunnel, the bar (1) additionally comprising a plurality of LEDs (5) to illuminate the inside of the tunnel, said LEDs being insulated from moisture and dirt by being contained inside longitudinal cavities (7, 8) of the bar (1).
