40 Watt Emergency Backup Driver | Emergency Battery Backup Power Supply

Product Overview

This 40 Watt Emergency Backup Driver converts compatible LED fixtures into emergency-ready lighting systems. The unit installs with existing UFO LED High Bays up to 310 watts and provides 90 minutes of emergency illumination during power loss. The driver delivers 25 watts of constant output power during emergency operation.

The backup driver is compatible with dimmable LED fixtures using 0-10V or 1-10V dimming protocols. It functions with or without 0-10V dimmers, wall switches, and motion sensors connected to the host fixture. Self-testing capability is built into the unit.

Where This Product Fits Best

This emergency backup driver is intended for facilities that need to add emergency egress or life safety lighting capability to existing UFO LED High Bay installations. The driver mounts with the existing fixture rather than requiring a separate emergency fixture or central inverter system.

The IP65 rating allows installation in locations exposed to dust accumulation and water spray. This includes warehouse aisles, manufacturing floors, loading docks, and covered outdoor areas where the host fixture is already rated for similar conditions.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The driver provides 25 watts of output during emergency mode, which will produce reduced light output compared to normal fixture operation. This output level is designed for egress and safety visibility rather than full working illumination. Run time during a power outage is 90 minutes.

After a power loss event, the battery requires 24 hours to fully recharge. If the facility experiences frequent or prolonged outages, recharge time should be factored into emergency planning. The self-testing function monitors battery condition and circuit readiness without manual intervention.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The driver is designed for field installation with existing UFO LED High Bay fixtures. The host fixture must be dimmable with either 0-10V or 1-10V protocol and must not exceed 310 watts. Physical dimensions are 5.5 inches in diameter by 6.8 inches in height, and the unit weighs 3.96 pounds.

Voltage input accepts 100V-277V or 347V at 50/60 Hz, which covers most commercial and industrial single-phase services in North America. The driver works independently of whether the host fixture is connected to dimmers, wall switches, or motion sensors.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, the emergency driver operates automatically. During normal power conditions, the battery charges and the fixture runs as usual. When utility power is lost, the driver switches the fixture to emergency mode and delivers 25 watts of output for up to 90 minutes.

The self-testing function allows the unit to verify battery and circuit status without requiring manual testing by maintenance staff. Facilities relying on this driver for life safety compliance should confirm local code requirements for emergency lighting duration and illumination levels.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This emergency backup driver is UL listed. The enclosure carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction.

We back this product with a 5-year warranty.
