Emergency and Evacuation Lights guarantee independent backup lighting in the event of a power failure with excellent autonomy for safe evacuation.
In public buildings and industrial facilities, power losses can pose critical safety hazards to employees and visitors. Standard lighting is completely unable to fulfill safety functions in emergency situations. Professional emergency lighting systems are designed using reliable battery cells and smart control circuits that automatically switch to battery mode as soon as the grid voltage is lost. VIDEX backup luminaires incorporate LiFePO4 and lithium-ion chemistry solutions that are resilient to deep discharge and capable of delivering stable luminous flux for hours, strictly complying with building regulations and occupational safety standards.
Technical parameters of emergency lighting:
- Advanced battery chemistry: Integrated Li-ion (3.7V) and LiFePO4 batteries can sustain continuous backup light for 1-3 hours without power.
- Automatic switching: The system continuously monitors the mains voltage and generates an immediate response, completely eliminating the need for manual intervention during downtime.
- Testing mode: The built-in indicator and integrated test button significantly reduce monthly inspection and maintenance costs for the system administrator.
- Universal surface mounting: The flat housing design allows placing the equipment on ceilings in corridors, stairwells, and evacuation routes.
Building an autonomous system ensures the physical safety of employees and visitors in emergency situations in the long term. To maintain mobile communication and provide backup power to other critical smart devices during a power outage, Power Banks & Solar Panels are an excellent addition to the facility.
Q: How does the integrated LiFePO4 battery in emergency luminaires maintain a continuous charge in 24/7 standby mode?
Q: What is the commutation physics when the building suddenly loses 230V supply voltage?
Q: How do VIDEX emergency luminaires ensure compliance with the LVS EN 1838 standard evacuation requirements?
Q: What is the essential difference between a Maintained and Non-Maintained evacuation plafond?
Q: What are the requirements for cable electrical wiring and labeling for fire safety (emergency) luminaires?
A: The charging microcontroller built into evacuation luminaires supplies a precisely regulated, minimal pulse current (Trickle Charge) that keeps the battery at 100% readiness. Unlike Ni-MH cells, lithium iron phosphate elements have no ""memory effect"" and do not physically degrade when connected to the grid for years.
Q: What is the commutation physics when the building suddenly loses 230V supply voltage?
A: The logic board of the emergency lamp continuously monitors the phase status (Maintained / Non-Maintained modes). When the voltage drops, an electromechanical or solid-state relay strictly switches the LED matrix power to the internal battery in less than 10 milliseconds, preventing flickering in the room.
Q: How do VIDEX emergency luminaires ensure compliance with the LVS EN 1838 standard evacuation requirements?
A: emergency devices are equipped with a test button and a status indicator (green/red diode), allowing a technician to visually monitor the health of the inverter and battery. They guarantee 1.5 to 3 hours of autonomous operation with a minimum of 1 lx illumination on the floor line for safe human flow in case of fire.
Q: What is the essential difference between a Maintained and Non-Maintained evacuation plafond?
A: A maintained luminaire is constantly lit (along with the room's base lighting) and automatically switches to battery mode in the event of a power loss. A non-maintained luminaire is physically off daily (only the status diode is lit) and generates photons only when sensors detect a primary power supply failure.
Q: What are the requirements for cable electrical wiring and labeling for fire safety (emergency) luminaires?
A: Evacuation lighting strictly requires the use of fire-resistant (e.g., E30, E90 class) and halogen-free cables (LSZH). They prevent flame spread and do not smoke while burning, ensuring that the luminaire and its phase connection will physically function for the intended autonomous time (up to 3 hours).
