There’s no universal code that sets a single mounting height for emergency lights. However, many installations use mounting heights of approximately 7 to 8 feet (about 2.1 to 2.4 m) to ensure visibility and unobstructed paths. In spaces with standard ceilings, mounting emergency luminaires within this range typically supports good coverage and accessibility. Always check your local building code, manufacturer guidance, and perform a lighting layout to ensure the egress path meets required illumination levels during an emergency.
