The IP65 rating protects the internal components against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation in covered positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bulkhead can be wired in maintained mode (where the LED operates continuously on mains power and switches to battery during a power cut) or non-maintained mode (where the LED only illuminates during a power cut). This flexibility allows the same fitting to be used as both a functional corridor light and an emergency-only indicator depending on building requirements. The hinged screwless gear tray gives access to the wiring terminals and battery compartment without removing the entire fitting from the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white polycarbonate body measures 216mm x 97mm x 48mm and weighs substantially less than metal alternatives, reducing strain on plasterboard fixings and simplifying single-person installation. Two diffuser options are supplied in the box: a prismatic lens that spreads light evenly across corridors and staircases, and an opal diffuser that provides softer illumination where glare control matters. Both diffusers deliver 150 lumens in normal and emergency modes at 6000K daylight white, which meets UK Building Regulations Part B visibility requirements for escape routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated SMD LED array is rated at 3W with an efficacy of 48.8 lumens per watt and a colour rendering index above 80, ensuring that exit signage and corridor features remain clearly distinguishable under emergency conditions. The fitting carries a 3-year warranty on the LED and housing (battery excluded, as batteries degrade with charge cycles and require replacement every 3-4 years as part of routine maintenance).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e216 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiffuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrismatic or Opal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmergency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaintained \/ Non-maintained \/ Switched\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSMD LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCCT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6000 K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDaylight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLumens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 lm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLumens (Em. mode)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 lm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEfficacy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48.8 lm\/W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCRI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty Information\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e(excluding battery)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_2327447_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_825888.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between maintained and non-maintained modes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn maintained mode, the LED operates continuously on mains power and switches to battery backup during a power cut.
