40 Watt Emergency Driver | Emergency Battery Backup Supply

Product Overview

This 40 Watt Emergency Driver is designed to provide emergency backup power for compatible UFO LED high bay fixtures. It integrates with existing high bay installations to deliver up to 1.5 hours of emergency illumination at 40W output. The unit operates on 100-277V input and supports both 0-10V and 1-10V dimmable fixtures up to 300W. Typical use is in commercial and industrial environments where emergency egress and code compliance are required for high bay lighting systems.

Commonly installed in manufacturing facilities and warehouses, this emergency driver is suitable for new projects and retrofit scenarios where maintaining emergency lighting is critical. The compact form factor and IP65 rating allow for installation in demanding environments without additional enclosure requirements.

Core Performance and Output

This emergency driver delivers a constant 40W output to the connected LED fixture during power loss, supporting up to 1.5 hours of emergency operation. The unit is compatible with both 0-10V and 1-10V dimmable UFO high bay fixtures, ensuring consistent light output during emergency mode. Recharge time is 24 hours after a full discharge.

Electrical performance is stable across a 100-277V input range. The driver supports fixtures up to 300W in normal operation. Excessive output may occur if installed with low-wattage fixtures, and emergency light levels will be limited by the 40W output during backup mode. Uniformity and coverage depend on the connected fixture?s optics and mounting height.

Adjustability and Control Options

The emergency driver is compatible with fixtures that use 0-10V or 1-10V dimming protocols. It can be integrated into lighting systems with wall switches, motion sensors, or standalone controls. The unit provides constant output power in emergency mode, regardless of the fixture?s dimming setting during normal operation.

Self-testing functionality is included for ongoing operational assurance. The driver does not require manual intervention for routine testing or reset. No additional control wiring is needed beyond standard dimming and power connections.

Longevity and Reliability

The emergency driver is designed for long-term reliability in commercial and industrial environments. The battery system supports repeated charge/discharge cycles and is protected against overcharge and deep discharge conditions. Typical recharge time is 24 hours after a full emergency event.

IP65 construction protects internal components from dust and water ingress. The unit is suitable for installation in areas subject to routine cleaning or moderate environmental exposure. Routine inspection and periodic function testing are recommended as part of facility maintenance protocols.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The driver measures 11 inches in length and 3.19 inches in width, with a total weight of 7.3 lbs. The enclosure is sealed to IP65, providing resistance to dust and water spray. All wiring terminations are accessible for straightforward integration with compatible UFO high bay fixtures.

UL certification confirms compliance with safety standards for emergency lighting equipment. The unit is constructed for durability in demanding industrial and commercial settings, with mounting provisions suitable for overhead or remote installation near the fixture.

Where This Product Fits Best

This emergency driver is intended for integration with UFO LED high bay fixtures in environments where emergency backup lighting is required. It is commonly used in facilities with high ceilings and critical egress requirements, as well as in retrofit projects upgrading existing high bay systems for code compliance.

• emergency backup integration
• lighting maintenance support
• retrofit support
• code compliance upgrades
• emergency egress support
• service stock for maintenance teams
• field repair projects

Environmental characteristics include suitability for damp or dusty locations, with IP65 protection against water spray and particulate ingress. The unit is not intended for hazardous or marine environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires integration with a compatible UFO LED high bay fixture, either during initial deployment or as a retrofit. The driver supports both surface and remote mounting, provided wiring distances are within manufacturer guidelines. All connections are accessible for straightforward field wiring.

Routine maintenance includes periodic function testing and battery inspection. The self-testing feature reduces manual verification requirements. Replacement intervals for the battery will depend on usage frequency and environmental conditions.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This emergency driver is typically installed alongside or within the housing of UFO LED high bay fixtures mounted at heights ranging from 15 to 40 feet. Spacing and layout are determined by the primary lighting design, with emergency coverage based on the 40W output per fixture in backup mode.

In retrofit scenarios, the driver is added to existing high bay installations to meet emergency egress requirements. Fixture count for emergency coverage may increase if lower output is insufficient for code-mandated light levels. Higher output drivers can reduce fixture count but may require additional coordination with existing controls.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This emergency driver is UL listed and meets IP65 requirements for dust and water ingress. The unit is designed for safe operation in commercial and industrial environments, with integrated protection against electrical faults and battery failure.

Warranty coverage is provided according to manufacturer terms. All safety and certification markings are present on the enclosure for inspection and compliance documentation.
