40 Watt Emergency Backup Driver | Emergency Battery Backup Power Supply

Product Overview

This 40 Watt Emergency Backup Driver is designed to provide emergency power to compatible UFO LED high bay fixtures. It delivers up to 90 minutes of emergency lighting at 100-277V operation, supporting both 0-10V and 1-10V dimmable fixtures. The unit is IP65 rated and UL listed for use in demanding commercial and industrial environments.

Typical installations include manufacturing facilities and warehouses where code compliance and emergency egress requirements are enforced. The compact form factor allows for integration with existing high bay fixtures up to 310 Watts, converting standard lighting into emergency-ready systems without major fixture replacement.

Core Performance and Output

This emergency driver provides a constant 40W output during emergency operation, ensuring sufficient illumination for egress and safety requirements. It supports input voltages from 100V to 277V, with a frequency range of 50/60 Hz. The unit is compatible with both 0-10V and 1-10V dimming controls, and can operate with or without external dimmers, wall switches, or motion sensors.

Emergency runtime is up to 90 minutes, with a full recharge time of 24 hours. The driver is designed for use with LED fixtures up to 310W, but output is limited to 40W during emergency mode. Excessive fixture wattage or non-dimmable fixtures are not supported. Output may be excessive for small spaces or low mounting heights if paired with high-output fixtures.

Adjustability and Control Options

The driver supports both 0-10V and 1-10V dimming protocols, allowing integration with a range of dimmable UFO LED high bay fixtures. It is compatible with standard wall switches and motion sensors, and can function independently of external controls during emergency operation.

Self-testing functionality is included, reducing manual maintenance checks. The unit automatically switches to emergency mode during power loss and reverts to charging mode when power is restored. No manual intervention is required for emergency activation or reset.

Longevity and Reliability

The emergency driver is designed for long-term reliability in commercial and industrial settings. The IP65 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, supporting use in environments with moderate exposure to moisture or particulates.

Recharge time is 24 hours after a full emergency discharge. The unit is built for repeated cycling and includes self-testing to ensure readiness. Battery and driver components are selected for extended service life under typical facility operating conditions.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The driver measures 5.5 inches in diameter by 6.8 inches in height and weighs 3.96 lbs. The enclosure is sealed to IP65, providing protection against water jets and dust. All wiring and mounting points are accessible for integration with compatible UFO LED high bay fixtures.

UL certification is provided for safety and code compliance. The unit is constructed for durability in demanding environments, with robust housing and secure electrical connections.

Where This Product Fits Best

This emergency backup driver is intended for integration with UFO LED high bay fixtures in commercial and industrial environments where emergency lighting is required. It is most commonly used in large open spaces with high ceilings and significant occupancy or egress requirements.

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

Environmental suitability includes indoor locations with exposure to dust or water spray, such as manufacturing floors and warehouse spaces. The IP65 rating supports use in areas with moderate moisture or particulate exposure, but not in fully submerged or corrosive environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The driver is designed for field installation with compatible UFO LED high bay fixtures. It can be mounted directly to the fixture or adjacent structure, with wiring provisions for integration into existing lighting circuits. Installation requires access to the fixture?s dimming leads and power supply.

Routine maintenance is minimal due to self-testing features. Battery replacement may be required over the service life, depending on cycling frequency and environmental conditions. The unit is suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects where emergency lighting capability is being added to existing high bays.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Commonly installed at mounting heights typical for UFO high bays, ranging from 15 to 40 feet. Spacing and layout are determined by fixture wattage, emergency egress requirements, and local code. The driver is often deployed in critical egress paths, stairwells, or large open areas where emergency illumination is mandated.

Fixture count and driver deployment are influenced by the required emergency light levels and the size of the area. Higher output fixtures may reduce the number of drivers needed, but can increase glare or create uneven illumination if not properly spaced.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This emergency backup driver is UL listed and IP65 rated. It meets safety and code compliance requirements for emergency lighting integration in commercial and industrial facilities. The unit is designed to operate safely in environments with moderate dust and water exposure.

Warranty coverage is provided by LED Lighting Supply. Refer to product documentation for specific warranty terms and conditions.
