Hello,
Many emergency lighting units (BAES) are installed without a remote control. The unit works very well without one. The main role of a remote control is to neutralize the units (in case of a power failure) when we don't want them to discharge or to turn them back on later.
However, the remote control is legally required, except in residential buildings and covered parking areas of residential buildings.

Your response is not quite right. I would even say it's incorrect. First, we no longer speak of BAES 60 lumens because this flux corresponds to a duration of 5 minutes while current standards take the flux over one hour, which is 45 lumens.
In residential parking lots, the blocks are 45 lumens, and there is no remote control either. If there are none in residences, it is because the majority of the areas where they are located (stairs, corridors in floors or basements, covered parking ...) are left in the dark in case of a power outage. Therefore, neutralizing these blocks would endanger the evacuation of residents.
Furthermore, residential blocks also work with a remote control. 1) They also have the connectors for the remote control line. 2) I control about 50 blocks a day. In the basements of residences, mixed blocks of 45 and 8 lumens are commonly seen, with installers using a bit of everything and anything. Sometimes there is a remote control, and often electricians connect the blocks in basements and garages to it. I can guarantee that all 8-lumen residential blocks work properly with the remote control. 3) I have installed in some hotels by doubling the BAES with BAEH. The BAES were connected to the fire alarm via a remote control, and I often proposed, as an option, a remote control for the BAEH to preserve them: it works perfectly. 4) However, there are dual-function blocks that contain both a BAES and a BAEH. In these blocks, the BAEH does not have a driver module, which makes sense.
Here is a link:

This is the technical sheet of an 8-lumen BAEH. If you read the document, you will see that it can be connected to a remote control. The same is true for all brands.
Furthermore, a remote control can operate blocks from different brands; you just need to be careful about certain compatibility issues.
