Itech 2W Ø170 Emergency Light - Surface IP65 C1 - White

The Itech is a 2W surface-mounted emergency light that holds an escape route lit when the mains supply fails. It draws 220-240V AC in normal use and switches to its internal battery on power loss, putting out 238 lumens at a clean 5000K to mark exits and circulation routes clearly. Known in the trade as an emergency LED light or emergency light fitting, it carries the C1 designation for its category. The round form measures Ø170 × 66.5 mm and sits flat against the surface rather than recessing into it.

Because the output is aimed at marking an escape route rather than lighting a room, coverage is best judged by where the fitting throws rather than by floor area. The 238 lumens at 5000K give a bright, neutral light that picks out corridors, doorways, stairwells and final exits, so site it at decision points along the route and above exit doors. Its IP65 rating means it works in exposed outdoor and wet positions as well as indoor ones, so it suits car parks, loading bays, plant rooms and damp utility areas where a lower-rated fitting could not go. Mount it on either a wall or a ceiling depending on how the route runs.

The body is plastic in a white finish, with the LED gear sealed to the IP65 standard against dust and water jets. Power runs through the 220-240V AC mains feed, with the emergency battery housed within the fitting so no separate inverter pack is needed at each point. The Ø170 round plate is fixed directly to the surface using the supplied fixings. The wider Itech range covers further emergency formats for matching a scheme across a building.

Is this a maintained or non-maintained emergency light?

The Itech is a non-maintained emergency fitting, so it stays off during normal operation and only illuminates when the mains supply fails. This is the usual choice for escape routes that do not need permanent lighting. It draws 220-240V AC to keep its battery charged ready for a power cut.

How long does the battery last in an emergency?

The internal battery is sized to hold the 238 lumen output for the standard 3-hour duration required on most escape routes. Once mains power returns the battery recharges automatically ready for the next event. Regular testing confirms the battery holds its rated duration over time.

Can it be used outdoors or in wet areas?

Yes. The IP65 rating makes it weatherproof against dust and water jets, so it is suitable for exposed outdoor positions and wet indoor locations such as car parks, plant rooms and damp utility areas. Keep the seal and fixings intact during installation to maintain the rating.

How should the fitting be cleaned and maintained?

Wipe the white plastic cover with a soft damp cloth and avoid solvents that could mark the surface or affect the seal. Carry out the routine function and duration tests in line with your site's emergency lighting schedule. Keeping the cover clean ensures the 5000K output stays bright and clearly visible.
