Itech 2W Ø170 Surface Emergency Light IP65 - White

The Itech is a surface-mounted emergency light fitting drawing 2W and delivering 270 lumens at a crisp 5000K daylight tone. It marks escape routes and exits when the mains supply fails, switching to its internal battery automatically so people can move toward safety. Round in form at Ø170mm and just 66.5mm deep, it sits flush against the surface rather than recessing into it. In US specification terms a fitting of this kind is logged as an emergency LED light or exit light, and the IP65 rating means it carries the same role indoors and in exposed outdoor settings alike.

Surface mounting suits both walls and ceilings, which makes the Itech adaptable across stairwells, corridors, plant rooms, loading bays and external doorways where a fixed escape path needs to stay visible. Its coverage is best judged by escape-route marking rather than ambient room brightness: the 270 lumen output is sized to keep a corridor, doorway or stair clearly readable in a power cut, not to light a room for general use. Position it near changes of level, exit doors and direction changes so the lit path stays continuous along the route people will follow out of the building.

The housing is moulded plastic in a white finish, rated IP65 so it withstands dust ingress and water jets in fully exposed and wet locations. Mounting is direct to the surface via wall or ceiling fixings, and the 430g weight keeps the load on the substrate low. The integral battery and control gear are contained within the body, so no separate driver needs specifying. The Itech sits within a wider emergency range, with companion outputs and formats available to suit different escape-route layouts.

Is this a maintained or non-maintained emergency light?

The Itech operates as a dedicated emergency fitting, illuminating its escape-route output when the mains supply is interrupted. It draws on its internal battery to keep the marked path visible during a power failure. Confirm the maintained or non-maintained wiring mode against the supplied installation sheet for your specific application.

How long does it stay lit on battery?

Emergency fittings of this type are built to the standard 3-hour duration once the mains supply drops, which is the typical requirement for escape routes in commercial and public buildings. The internal battery recharges from the mains during normal operation. Always check the duration figure on the product datasheet before commissioning.

Can it be installed outdoors or in damp areas?

Yes. With an IP65 rating it is sealed against dust and protected from water jets, so it is suitable for exposed outdoor positions and wet locations such as external doorways, plant rooms and loading bays. The white plastic housing is designed to hold up in these conditions.

How do I keep it clean and maintained?

Wipe the white housing and lens with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth to clear dust and grime that could dim the output, keeping the power isolated while you do so. Avoid solvents that could mark the plastic. Carry out the regular function and duration tests required for emergency lighting so the battery and lamp stay ready when needed.
