When Does It Make Sense to Use an LED Emergency Driver?

LED emergency drivers are commonly used in any location where people work or function. They are usually used in case of a power failure to light up the inside or outside area and make it safer. LED emergency drivers may also be required by law in certain locales.

What Types of LED Fixtures Can You Use an Emergency Driver With?

For the most part, any fixture that has a 0-10V or 1-10V dimmable driver is a candidate. There also has to be room to install this battery back up driver. Sometimes the drivers are external to the fixture, eliminating the need for internal installation.

Can I Add Emergency Drivers to Only a Portion of the Units?

How Long Will an Emergency Battery Backup LED Driver Last For?

They typically last for 250 cycles, which means they could last for a very long time.

The emergency driver will start delivering power when the main power to the light is disrupted for some reason. It takes a few seconds for the EMB power to turn on.

How Do You Install an LED Emergency Driver?
