In addition to knowing how the facility is used and by whom, you’ll need to know the lay of the land. You may be working with grid ceilings, drywall, or open ceilings with fixtures mounted to rafters.
You’ll want to have multiple options available to you to fit the LED emergency light to the needs of the customer’s space and the demands of occupant safety.
High-bay Emergency Lighting
In high ceiling applications (greater that 25’), such as warehouses or large retail centers, customers will need more power to deliver sufficient light to the surfaces below. In those cases, an LED emergency light designed for high ceilings, like this one from Litetronics, is an ideal fit:
It automatically switches to battery power during a power outage
Using only 30W, it delivers 4,000 lumens for 90 minutes.
It can also be set to 21W for 120 minutes of emergency light at 2,800 lumens if that is all that is needed to allow safe egress.
Emergency Backup Battery
An emergency backup battery option makes it easy to outfit a building that doesn’t already have emergency lighting. You don’t have to run wiring to new lights, just add a backup battery to an existing fixture. This gives you the flexibility to choose how many fixtures to convert while providing a better quality of emergency light.Emergency Backup Battery
You’ll want to have plenty of battery backup options to outfit a range of fixtures, like this LED emergency battery backup from Litetronics. Our battery backups convert most LED fixtures into an emergency light offering 90 minutes of light. 10W models are suitable for lower ceiling spaces and the 20W model is for high-bay fixtures.
Self-testing LED Emergency Lighting
LED lights are known for their long, maintenance-free life, but testing is still vital when it comes to emergency lighting. Litetronics’ lights and batteries come with an automatic monthly self-testing function that is complemented with a status indicator light to show if it’s fully charged, in emergency mode, or about to run out of juice. Manual testing via optional remote is an add-on you may want to offer.
LED Surge Protection
Power outages aren’t the only concern for customers. Electrical storms can bring the dual threat of a power outage and a power surge—potentially damaging tens of thousands of dollars of LED lights. Choosing fixtures equipped with surge protection will ensure your emergency lighting systems are safe and can continue to provide light when needed.
