Our customers often ask us, “How much light do the luminaires provide when they’re in Emergency Mode?” The answer is that it really depends on which luminaires are used. Here at Illuxtron, we’ve created a handy overview
In the event of a power outage, it is important that people can find their way out of the building. A well-designed lighting plan will indicate which luminaires are connected to an emergency power supply to provide the required light output. In the UK, you need 3 hours of light after a power outage, and in the rest of Europe, you need 1 hour.
We have added some overviews to the datasheet so you can easily calculate the light output yourself. Here is an example of the measurements for a 1-hour TCI Ni-Cd battery (7.2 V, 1.6 Ah) (123023K)
All Illuxtron LV downlights a forward voltage of 36V, resulting in a power consumption of 4.1W per LED in Emergency Mode. To calculate how much light you will get, simply refer to the lumen output overview in our price list (Page 59).
The emergency power rating must be calculated using the correct wattage
- Setting 250mA = 9.4W = 1400 lm (4000K)
- Emergency = 4.1W = 620 lm (4000K)
If you need an LDT file for the 620LM, you can easily create one yourself using the free Dialux LDT Editor software. Need more help? Just contact our Sales Department
