Description
The LumiLife 20W emergency battery pack converts standard 0/1-10V dimmable high bay lights up to 150W into emergency lighting that continues to operate for 3 hours during a mains power failure. The unit connects directly to the high bay's 100-277V AC input and includes a self-testing function that automatically checks battery health and charging circuits at scheduled intervals, logging results for compliance audits.
Designed for warehouses, factories, logistics centres and sports halls where high bay lighting is the primary overhead illumination, the battery pack ensures that critical work areas and escape routes remain lit if mains power is lost. The IP65 rating allows installation in dusty or damp environments typical of industrial settings, and the universal voltage input works with both UK 230V and international 110V or 277V supplies.
The self-testing feature removes the need for manual monthly and annual battery tests required under BS 5266 and BS EN 50172 emergency lighting standards. Test results are stored internally and can be retrieved via the indicator panel on the orange enclosure. The unit mounts via the integrated suspension loop and connects to the high bay's driver via flying leads, with no external control panel required for basic operation.
The 20W output provides reduced-brightness emergency operation rather than full output — typically 10-15% of the high bay's normal lumen output depending on the specific luminaire model. This is sufficient for safe movement and emergency egress while preserving battery runtime. The battery pack is suitable for use in Zones 1, 2 and 3 under ATEX classifications but not in Zone 0 (continuous explosive atmosphere).

Frequently Asked
What does self-testing mean?
The battery pack automatically performs monthly function tests and annual duration tests as required by BS 5266 and BS EN 50172 emergency lighting standards. Test results are logged internally and can be retrieved via the indicator panel on the unit, removing the need for manual testing and record-keeping.
How long does the emergency light last during a power cut?
The battery provides 3 hours of emergency operation at reduced brightness (typically 10-15% of the high bay's normal output). This meets the minimum 3-hour duration required for non-residential premises under UK building regulations.
Can it be used with any high bay light?
The pack is compatible with 0/1-10V dimmable high bay lights rated up to 150W on 100-277V AC supplies. It will not work with non-dimmable or DALI-controlled high bays, or with luminaires that use proprietary dimming protocols.
Is it waterproof?
The IP65 rating protects against low-pressure water jets and dust ingress, making it suitable for damp or dusty industrial environments. It is not submersible and should not be installed where it will be exposed to high-pressure washing or standing water.
