Product Characteristics

• Type & Function:
  Standalone emergency lights are self-contained luminaires with integrated batteries and control circuitry, designed to provide illumination during power failures or emergencies without requiring a central monitoring system.
• Construction & Material:
• • Body: High-impact, fire-retardant polycarbonate or ABS housing.
  • Diffuser/Lens: Transparent or frosted polycarbonate for uniform light distribution.
  • Mounting: Wall, ceiling, or surface mountable; some models allow recessed installation.
• Light Source:
• • LED-based luminaires are common for long life and energy efficiency.
  • Luminous output typically ranges from 100–600 lumens, depending on model and application.
• Battery & Backup:
• • Sealed maintenance-free Ni-Cd or Li-ion batteries.
  • Typical backup duration: 1–3 hours (standard) or up to 8 hours for extended options.
  • Automatic battery charging while mains power is available.
• Control & Operation:
• • Integrated automatic charging and test circuitry.
  • Self-test options available (monthly or annual) depending on model.
  • LED indicators for mains on, battery charging, and fault detection.

 Recommendations and Restrictions

Recommendations

• Install in visible and accessible locations along escape routes, stairways, or above doors.
• Ensure adequate coverage and spacing according to local building codes and fire regulations.
• Perform periodic visual inspections for operational status (LED indicators) and cleanliness.
• Replace or recharge batteries according to manufacturer guidelines (usually every 3–5 years).
• Test units manually at least once per year to verify backup duration and performance.

Restrictions

• Not suitable for large-scale or complex installations requiring centralized monitoring or networked testing.
• Avoid installing in wet or hazardous locations unless the unit has appropriate IP rating.
• Do not use if the battery is swollen, leaking, or damaged.
• Should not be installed in areas with extreme temperatures beyond the manufacturer’s specified limits.
• Not intended for continuous lighting — only for emergency/backup purposes.
