Description
The Knightsbridge SUR5LEDIEM is a 1500mm suspended LED emergency fitting with integrated 55W SMD LED modules delivering 4800lm at 4000K through an opal diffuser. The fitting splits output 75% downward (direct) and 25% upward (indirect), providing task lighting below and ceiling wash above. The emergency function runs on a lithium battery module offering maintained, non-maintained or switched modes, delivering 170lm for three hours during mains failure.
Designed for commercial interiors including offices, meeting rooms, educational buildings and healthcare facilities, the fitting suits ceiling heights of 2.7m-3.5m where continuous ambient light and emergency lighting are both required. The 200mm width and 45mm body depth keep a low profile above desks and workstations. Wire suspension from the included 2m suspension kit allows height adjustment on installation, and loop-in/loop-out terminals on the driver simplify wiring across multiple fittings in a run.
The pressed steel body with white finish and white polypropylene end caps provides a neutral appearance that recedes into white or light grey ceilings. The opal diffuser spreads the 110° beam angle evenly without visible LED hotspots. The fitting carries IP20 ingress protection (suitable for dry indoor environments only) and Class I earthing. The LED modules are rated to L70B50 at 50,000 hours, meaning 70% of initial output remains after 50,000 hours under typical operating conditions.
The emergency battery module is excluded from the 5-year fixture warranty and requires periodic testing in line with BS 5266 or BS EN 50172 depending on jurisdiction. The constant current driver is non-dimmable. CRI is rated above 80, providing adequate colour rendering for general commercial tasks but below the 90+ threshold needed for retail display or design studio work.

Frequently Asked
What emergency modes does this support?
The fitting can be configured for maintained (always lit, continues during mains failure), non-maintained (lights only during mains failure), or switched maintained (normal operation controlled by a switch, emergency function activates during failure). Configuration is set during installation. Emergency output is 170lm for three hours.
What ceiling height does it suit?
The 1500mm length and 4800lm output suit ceiling heights of 2.7m-3.5m in commercial interiors. Lower ceilings may find the output too bright for comfort; higher ceilings may need multiple fittings or higher-output models to achieve adequate lux levels on the working plane.
How is it suspended?
The fitting includes a 2m suspension kit with wire hangers. Height is adjustable by trimming the wires to the required drop during installation. The wire suspension allows the fitting to hang level even where ceiling fixing points are not perfectly aligned.
Is the emergency battery user-replaceable?
The lithium battery module is accessible but replacement requires basic electrical competence and adherence to UK wiring regulations. The battery is excluded from the 5-year fixture warranty and will need replacement after approximately 4 years depending on test frequency and duty cycle.
