Fixture LED emergency light with battery: description, features, looks and reviews

Let's imagine an office building. In some office there are many windows, electricity is turned on only at night. And there are rooms where there are no windows at all. Here, electricity is turned on with the arrival of the first employee and turns off when the cleaning lady leaves late at night.

And if suddenly power is turned off due to an emergency, say, a fire? What should workers do? In pitch darkness, evacuate from the building? Here for such emergency cases and is provided by the current legislation the availability in office, school, industrial warehouse and residential buildings of independent lighting sources. The LED emergency light with the battery should be placed not only along the route of evacuating people. It must be installed in the location of the rescue equipment and the premises where the fire extinguishing means are located.

Alternative

An emergency luminaire with a battery is an alternative light source that provides lighting to rooms that are important in the event of a power outage. There are such light sources from batteries that do not depend on the power network. They will help you navigate in pitch darkness and find a way to exit the building.

Why LEDs?

The lamps that used fluorescent light bulbs or completely obsolete incandescent lamps are already gone. LED lighting has a number of significant advantages.

• First, the LED floodlight will illuminate the room as brightly as a conventional lamp. But the delivery of the light beam will be more even, without blinking and with the correct color rendition.
• Secondly, the LED emergency light with the battery consumes less electricity. In normal mode, it is powered from the mains, but in the case of an emergency response, the operation is carried out at the expense of a battery that does not depend on the network at all. The real savings from such luminaires have been checked and long been calculated by specialists.
• Third, due to low current consumption, an emergency luminaire with a battery has a long service life.
• Fourthly, the LED emergency light ( their kinds can be different) always remains a safe and environmentally friendly device. The constructions do not contain harmful chemical compounds, alloys and toxic substances. In addition, the fixtures do not heat up, which makes them even safer in emergency situations.
• Fifth, such emergency lighting sources are characterized by low inertia. Unlike other light sources, LED lights turn on instantly and immediately give a bright uniform light.

Specifications

When choosing a LED emergency luminaire with a battery, the characteristics and technical parameters of the equipment must be taken into account first.

• Autonomous work. The power of the batteries and the lamp will directly depend on the stand-alone operation of the luminaire. Reserve power supplies are recommended to choose with less power, in which case they will work much longer. Standard models operate from two to five hours, but there are also such lamps that "work" on one battery for up to seven hours.
• The size and shape of the lamp can be different. There are no special recommendations here.
• An important indicator is the degree of protection. It shows how well the light fixture carries a damp or polluted environment. The values indicated on the luminaire consist of two digits. The first is an indicator of the level of protection from dust and solid particles, and the second indicates protection from moisture. The most popular in the modern market is the LED emergency light with battery and IP 54 protection. The device with the designations IP 60 or IP 65 is more protected.
• Color temperature index. It is usually indicated on the package or the base. The maximum is 4000 Kelvin.

Functional features

There are completely different emergency lighting lamps LED with battery. Types of devices differ in the mode of operation and some functional features.

• Lamps that work on a permanent basis (permanent).
• Devices that are switched on only when there is no power in the electrical network (non-permanent).
• Variants of lighting equipment having several functional modes (combined). In this device, two light bulbs are built in. One works constantly, the second is turned on only in the event of an emergency.
• In the same group can be attributed and portable searchlights and lanterns. They are great if there is a need for a time to illuminate a surface, a working zone in the place of elimination of breakage, etc. As for such lighting devices, it is better to choose those that have high strength and shock resistance. In some moments it is not as important as the battery will quickly sit down. It is important only that the lighting device is not demolished by the evacuating crowd, which seeks to leave the dangerous place.
• Separately, I would like to highlight interior lighting emergency lighting, which are installed in apartments and country houses. In such devices it is possible to adjust the brightness, and also connect motion sensors or the remote control.

Kinds of fixtures depending on purpose

• Fixture LED Emergency Light with battery, designed to display information labels (emergency exit, fire alarm, warehouse, etc.).

What to look for when buying

• Degree of protection.
• Type of fastening. Depending on the type of room, you can use a wall, ceiling or suspended appliance.

Price list

A rechargeable LED light can differ not only in performance and functionality, but also in cost. Small LED portable lights cost the buyer 800 rubles. A lantern for lighting a garden plot can cost about three hundred rubles. Light signs and plates have a price from 500 to 1100 rubles.

Now let's talk about how much the wall / ceiling / hanging emergency light LED with the battery will cost. The price varies depending on the popularity of the manufacturer's firm, the quality of equipment and components. For example, models of Canadian production cost from six to nine thousand rubles. Industrial lamps emergency lighting in Russia will cost buyers in the amount of one to three thousand rubles. Here everything will depend on the size, capacity of the battery and the type of lamp.
