Having been an electrician for 20 years in the U.S., I find that the regulation/s for emergency light/s output assuming that by lux you mean lumens, are at best inadequate and worst dangerous. 15 lux seems a bit too low, particularly in a fire emergency with thick black smoke and other toxic fumes taking place. One would think that emergency lights should have greater lumen than general lighting considering they are spaced apart and not as many as general lights.
Question. With more and more people working from home will high-risk task area lighting start creeping into the average dwelling?
It's a good question but I think it's highly unlikely to be fair. Time might prove me wrong though...
Not unless you're a welder working from home in a spare bedroom 😂

I'll leave this nonsense to the architect software to do for me.
