I'd suggest leaving the "pipe" to the plumbers, and using "conduit" instead....

To anwser your question.
If the emergency lighting circuit is low voltage, usually 24VDC ... no you can't

Lets start by clarifying: is it an Emergency System NEC article 700 , a Legally Required Standby System NEC Article 701, or an Optional Standby System NEC Article 702.

Art. 700 Says NO -see 700.9(C)
Art. 701 Says YES - see art 701.10
Art. 702 Says YES - see Art. 702.9

It all depends on the "Emergency" system you have.

Oh yeah use the term conduit.
Poop goes in pipes,electrical conductors go in conduit

i was installing an optional standby system one time and the inspector told me the transfer switch had to transfer within 10 sec. i told him it was a manual switch and explained the difference between legally required and optional standby systems
