Emergency Lighting
illumination and compliance, presenting electrical wholesalers with a unique opportunity. But with great opportunity, comes an even greater challenge. In today’s highly competitive lighting sector
there is a plethora of emergency lighting products available, making choosing the perfect emergency solutions to grace wholesaler shelves particularly demanding. Unfortunately, not all products are created equal, and there are very few emergency lighting solutions that can actually deliver the required level of performance, reliability and cutting-edge features that will enable installers to meet the more onerous standards now placed on modern buildings.
Emergency lighting reaches a new age The adoption of LED luminaires and the introduction of state-of-the-art battery technologies have further expanded the possibilities for emergency lighting applications, presenting electrical contractors and specifiers with safer and more reliable systems that far exceed the performance levels of heritage lighting schemes. All emergency lighting systems are designed
to come into operation when traditional light sources fail, typically during power outages. Such systems, therefore, necessitate a very flexible and reliable battery to guarantee they will keep running at the light levels required under new emergency lighting standards, often for long periods of time during building evacuations. Innovative emergency lighting solutions, such
as ground-breaking LED emergency battery technologies, are helping to dramatically improve emergency evacuation procedures in large buildings. Uniquely, some pioneering emergency lighting solutions can even provide a universal emergency battery pack that can be used across a wide wattage range from 3-80W and are compatible with LED luminaires up to 42V DC from any lighting manufacturer. What this means for electrical wholesalers is, they can now provide a solution that makes life easier for installers and specifiers, excluding the requirement to carry multiple battery back variants for different wattages. The emergency battery back-up units can
provide power to any luminaire during outages, essentially offering the ability to convert LED luminaires within a building into emergency lighting during an evacuation procedure – powering the lamp for up to three hours from the built-in backup battery. Specifically
designed for LED lighting as a maintained solution, the battery back-up

Ground-breaking LED emergency battery technologies are helping to dramatically improve emergency evacuation procedures in large buildings.
Electrical wholesalers have a crucial part to play in not only selling high-specification solutions, but also advising electricians, installers and specifiers on the latest emergency lighting technology.
The critical role played by emergency lighting to support the safe evacuation of buildings during emergency incidents cannot be
underestimated, and today’s builders, specifiers and installers are under increasing pressure to ensure solutions not only meet building
requirements but are also in line with the latest emergency lighting standards.
technology can also work as a non-maintained solution for most types of light fittings including a range of architectural lighting fixtures. The ultra-compact design of some state-of-
the-art LED emergency battery packs makes them easy to install, delivering a sleek and unobtrusive solution for any applications. In fact, the leading products on the market offer a simple plug and play solution, significantly reducing installation times and costs across a wide range of applications from local authority buildings, to residential apartment blocks and even social housing properties.
Should any emergency occur, building managers must have sufficient processes in place to ensure the safe evacuation of occupants. The integration of advanced emergency lighting technologies is helping to enhance existing systems, maximise safety and minimise disruption to building operations.
Smarter emergency lighting The critical role played by emergency lighting to support the safe evacuation of buildings during emergency incidents cannot be underestimated, and today’s builders, specifiers and installers are under increasing pressure to ensure solutions not only meet building requirements but are also in line with the latest emergency lighting standards. However, the rapid pace of development of LED emergency lighting technology means selecting a product that is fit for purpose can be particularly perplexing. Electrical wholesalers, therefore,
now have a crucial part to play in not only selling high-specification solutions,
but also advising electricians, installers and specifiers on the key considerations to make when selecting a solution, as well as the benefits of opting for the latest LED technology.
