Emergency and Evacuation Lights (Battery Powered)
In the event of a fire, power outage, or natural disaster, when the electricity goes out in a building, panic sets in. In commercial areas, offices, and apartment buildings, legislation (and common sense) strictly requires the presence of emergency and evacuation lighting. Cheap emergency lights with old Ni-Cd (lead-acid) batteries often discharge by themselves - at the critical moment, they simply do not turn on. VIDEX emergency lighting is a reliable savior. It constantly charges from the network and instantly switches to the battery, pointing to evacuation exits or illuminating stairwells.
Reasons to entrust your building's safety to VIDEX (TCO and Certification):
- High-capacity LiFePO4 / Li-ion batteries: Excellent energy retention and longevity. The battery does not fear the "memory effect" and guarantees the standard-required 1.5 to 3 hours of full light output during evacuation.
- Test button and indicators: Luminaires are equipped with a diagnostic function, allowing fire safety inspectors and facility managers to easily check system readiness.
- Clearly legible pictogram panels: Standardized (ISO) signs (EXIT, arrows) that remain bright green and visible in thick smoke. Perfect B2B solution without unpleasant surprises.
In summary, there is no room for guesswork in emergency situations. By installing VIDEX certified evacuation lights, you fulfill all safety regulations and literally save lives in extreme situations.
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).
