Reliable and compact emergency lighting

The EM ready2apply is a new and highly effective solution to the problem of reliable and compact emergency lighting, which unites Tridonic’s lighting expertise with some of the most rigorous testing processes to deliver a product that sets a bench mark for future emergency lighting solutions.

 

Their aim was simple - to design a compact and easy to install product that would fit into an ever-diminishing ceiling void and through a minimal cut-out. It had to encompass sufficient power to exceed the necessary performance figures, exceed all lifetime and safety requirements, as well as give users the option on installation with interchangeable lenses. The company wanted to progress from the traditional design of using a hinged inverter or a battery in a protective sock to deliver a product that was both more aesthetic and user friendly.

 

The first challenge was to find a battery that would be small enough but also pack enough power for all possible applications. The current NiCd and NiMH technologies would not deliver the required performance relative to their size so the search for an alternative started in May 2013. After extensive research and testing far beyond the basic levels required, Tridonic settled on a LiFePO4 battery which exceeded all the safety, lifetime, and performance requirements they had set.

 

The product is readily available through Tridonic’s proven network of approved distributors or over the counter at electrical wholesalers.

 

The key elements of its specification are as follows:

Maintained and Non-maintained variants

Basic, self-test, and DALI (PRO)

3 interchangeable lenses with push-click-connection (anti-panic, escape route and spot)

Impressive spacings with lens technology.

Battery with an 8-year design life and 3-year guarantee

5-year electronics guarantee
