20 Watt Emergency Driver | Emergency Battery Backup Supply

Product Overview

This 20 Watt Emergency Driver is designed to provide reliable emergency battery backup for commercial and industrial LED lighting systems. It integrates with compatible fixtures to deliver up to 90 minutes of emergency illumination during power loss. The compact form factor allows for installation within a wide range of fixture housings, supporting both new and retrofit projects in demanding environments such as warehouses and manufacturing facilities.

Typical use involves integration with high bay, troffer, or linear fixtures where code compliance and emergency egress lighting are required. The unit operates on 100-277V input and is suitable for ambient temperatures from 32°F to 122°F.

Core Performance and Output

This emergency driver supplies 20 watts of output power during emergency operation, supporting continuous illumination for up to 90 minutes. It is compatible with a broad range of LED fixtures operating within a 100-277V input range. The driver maintains a maximum total harmonic distortion (THD) of 20% and operates at 50/60 Hz.

Output is sufficient for most standard commercial and industrial emergency egress requirements. Excessive output may not be suitable for small fixtures or low-wattage luminaires. Integration with high-output fixtures may require additional drivers or alternate solutions for full light level coverage.

Adjustability and Control Options

This emergency driver is designed for automatic operation during power loss. It does not include dimming or manual control features. The unit automatically switches to battery backup mode when normal power is interrupted and reverts to standard operation when power is restored.

No external control wiring or programming is required. The compact design allows for flexible placement within fixture housings or remote mounting where permitted by code.

Longevity and Reliability

The emergency driver is engineered for long-term reliability in commercial and industrial environments. Battery chemistry and charging circuitry are optimized for repeated discharge cycles and extended service life. The unit is rated for operation in ambient temperatures from 32°F to 122°F.

Routine testing and periodic maintenance are recommended to ensure continued emergency performance. The product includes a 5-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This unit features a compact, low-profile enclosure measuring 12.91 inches in length, 1.9 inches in width, and 0.94 inches in height. The housing is designed for integration within fixture channels or remote mounting in accessible locations.

Construction materials are selected for durability and compatibility with standard commercial and industrial lighting fixtures. The driver is UL certified for safety and code compliance.

Where This Product Fits Best

This emergency driver is suitable for integration with LED fixtures in commercial and industrial environments where emergency egress lighting is required. It is commonly used in facilities that require code-compliant emergency backup for high bay, troffer, or linear luminaires.

Environmental suitability includes dry and damp locations within the specified temperature range. Not intended for use in hazardous, wet, or corrosive environments without additional enclosure or protection.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation involves wiring the emergency driver in parallel with the existing LED driver and fixture load. The compact size allows for mounting within fixture housings or in remote locations as permitted by code. All wiring should follow local and national electrical codes for emergency lighting systems.

Routine monthly and annual testing is recommended to verify battery performance and system readiness. Battery replacement intervals depend on usage and environmental conditions. The unit is designed for straightforward field replacement and maintenance.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Commonly installed in high bay, troffer, or linear fixtures at mounting heights ranging from 10 to 40 feet, depending on the application. Spacing and fixture count are determined by emergency egress requirements and fixture wattage.

In retrofit scenarios, the driver is often added to existing luminaires to meet updated code requirements or to support emergency egress upgrades. Higher output drivers may reduce the number of required emergency fixtures but can increase enclosure space requirements.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This emergency driver is UL certified. It is designed to meet safety and code compliance requirements for commercial and industrial emergency lighting systems. The product is covered by a 5-year warranty.

All installations must comply with applicable electrical and life safety codes. Routine inspection and testing are required to maintain code compliance and ensure emergency readiness.
