Integrating emergency lighting into an architectural lighting project has always been one of the most delicate challenges for those who design professional spaces. Fire regulations require the presence of emergency lights in specific categories of buildings, but the traditional solution – autonomous emergency blocks, aesthetically alien to the main lighting system – creates inevitable visual discontinuities that compromise the coherence of the project.
LEDCO responds to this need with the Emergency Kit EM1500 and EM3000: inverter systems with integrated battery pack designed to directly power the LED strips in case of a lack of network, transforming the LED strip itself into an emergency device without any modification to the system and without visible external elements.
How it works
The kit is placed between the power adaptor and the LED strip. Under normal conditions it is transparent to the operation of the system. In the event of a power failure, it automatically goes into operation by fuelling the LED strip through the integrated batteries, ensuring the continuity of the lighting for the entire expected duration.
Both models are compatible with LED strips at 12V, 24V and 48V, covering the entire range of working voltages most common in professional lighting. The integrated dip switch allows you to select the emergency current delivered, allowing you to calibrate the level of emergency lighting according to project specifications and reference regulations.
The double isolation construction ensures high electrical safety without the need for additional grounding.
The two models
EM1500
Inverter kit and battery pack for 12V/24V/48V LED strips.
Autonomy in emergency: 1.5 hours (reference with SL60 LED Strip).
The actual duration depends on the power of the installed LED strip.
EM3000
Inverter kit and battery pack for 12V/24V/48V LED strips.
Autonomy in emergency: 3.0 hours (reference with Strip LED SL60). As for EM1500, the actual life varies depending on the power of the LED strip.
The choice between the two models depends on the autonomy required by the applicable legislation and the specific characteristics of the installation.
Because it is a design solution, not just a technical solution
The main advantage of the LEDCO Emergency Kits is not only technical: it is design. Using the existing LED strip as an emergency device, the need to install dedicated emergency lighting fixtures is eliminated, with everything that entails in terms of visual impact, integration with the ceiling or walls, and overall aesthetic consistency of the project.
For architects and lighting designers working on retail, offices, hospitality spaces or public buildings, this solution allows you to comply with regulatory requirements on emergency lighting while maintaining the visual continuity of the designed lighting system intact. For plant engineers, it simplifies the installation by eliminating an additional plant element and reducing the installation points to be managed.
A kit that transforms a regulatory obligation into a coherent design choice.
