18 Watt Wall Pack Battery Backup | 90 Minute Backup | 100-277V | 347V

Product Overview

This 18 Watt Wall Pack Battery Backup is designed for integration with LED wall pack fixtures requiring emergency illumination. It delivers constant output power to maintain safe egress and visibility during power loss. The unit supports both 100-277V and 347V input, making it compatible with a wide range of commercial and industrial exterior lighting systems.

Typical use involves wall mounting alongside or within existing wall pack fixtures equipped with 0-10V or 1-10V dimmable drivers. The battery backup provides up to 90 minutes of emergency lighting at 5000K, supporting code compliance and safety requirements for building exteriors and pathways.

Core Performance and Output

This emergency backup delivers 18 watts of constant output power during an outage, ensuring reliable illumination for up to 90 minutes. The system is designed for compatibility with most LED wall packs using 0-10V or 1-10V dimming drivers. Output is sufficient for maintaining egress lighting levels on building exteriors and adjacent pathways.

Performance is stable across the supported voltage range (100-277V or 347V). Excessive fixture wattage or mounting at extreme heights may reduce effective emergency coverage. The unit self-tests and recharges fully within 24 hours after discharge.

Adjustability and Control Options

The backup system supports both 0-10V and 1-10V dimming protocols, allowing integration with a variety of LED wall pack drivers. Output remains constant during emergency operation, with no user-adjustable settings for light level or duration.

Self-testing functionality is included for routine verification of battery and system status. There are no external control interfaces beyond standard wiring connections.

Longevity and Reliability

The battery backup is engineered for long-term reliability in exterior environments. The unit is rated for a 90-minute emergency runtime per cycle, with a full recharge time of 24 hours. Routine self-testing helps ensure readiness for emergency events.

All components are housed in a die-cast aluminum enclosure with an IP65 rating, providing protection against dust and water ingress. The system is designed for consistent performance over repeated charge/discharge cycles.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The enclosure is constructed from die-cast aluminum for durability and corrosion resistance. The unit measures 8.6 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 3.3 inches high, with a total weight of 12.6 lbs. All wiring and mounting hardware are designed for secure wall installation.

IP65 ingress protection and UL certification support use in demanding exterior environments. The compact form factor allows for integration with most standard wall pack fixtures.

Where This Product Fits Best

This emergency backup is intended for use in commercial and industrial exterior lighting systems where code-compliant emergency illumination is required. It is suitable for integration with LED wall packs on building exteriors, perimeter walls, and service areas. The unit is commonly deployed in retrofit projects, maintenance-driven upgrades, and as part of ongoing lighting system support.

Environmental suitability includes outdoor wall mounting in wet or dusty locations. The unit is not intended for use in hazardous or marine environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The backup unit is designed for wall mounting, typically adjacent to or within the housing of compatible LED wall packs. Installation requires access to fixture wiring and may involve minor modifications to accommodate the backup enclosure. The system supports both 100-277V and 347V input, covering most commercial building electrical systems.

Routine self-testing and a 5-year warranty support long-term reliability. Maintenance is limited to periodic inspection and battery replacement as needed. The IP65 rating allows for exterior installation without additional weatherproofing.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Common deployment involves pairing the backup unit with wall pack fixtures mounted at standard exterior heights, typically 8 to 15 feet above grade. Spacing and layout are determined by egress requirements and fixture coverage patterns. The 18W output is intended to provide minimum code-required illumination during outages.

Fixture count and backup placement may be adjusted based on building layout and emergency lighting plans. Higher output or larger wall packs may require multiple backup units or alternative solutions to maintain uniform coverage.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This emergency backup is UL listed and rated IP65 for use in wet locations. The enclosure and all components meet requirements for exterior commercial lighting systems. The product includes a 5-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Self-testing features support ongoing code compliance and system readiness. All installation and maintenance should follow applicable electrical codes and safety standards.
