Ontec 2W Ø170 Non-Maintained Emergency Light Auto-Test Surface IP65 S30 - White

The Ontec S30 is a round surface-mounted emergency luminaire running at 2W and delivering 270 lm at a crisp 5000K. It operates in non-maintained mode, so the LED stays off during normal conditions and switches on automatically when the mains supply fails, marking escape routes and exit points until power returns. American specifiers would recognise it as an emergency exit fixture, sitting flush against the wall or ceiling on its 220-240V AC supply and compact Ø170 mm body.

Designed for escape-route and open-area duties, this fitting suits corridors, stairwells, plant rooms, loading bays and entrance lobbies where a clear path must stay visible during a power cut. Because it is task-specific emergency lighting rather than ambient room lighting, its output is judged on escape-route marking and the throw across the floor it covers, not on a room-size figure. The IP65 rating opens up exposed outdoor approaches, covered walkways and damp or dusty industrial spaces where general fittings would not survive.

Built from a white plastic housing and weighing 430 g, the S30 measures Ø170 × 66.5 mm and mounts directly onto a wall or ceiling surface. The IP65 seal keeps out dust and water jets, making it dependable in wet and exposed locations. An integrated auto-test function runs the regular battery and lamp checks automatically, logging the results so manual testing is reduced. The finish is white throughout to blend with most ceilings and facades. This is one of several Ontec emergency formats in the range, including maintained and recessed variants for matched specification across a site.

Is this a maintained or non-maintained emergency light?

It is non-maintained, so the LED stays off while the mains is healthy and illuminates only when the supply fails. This makes it suited to escape routes that do not need permanent lighting. Choose a maintained version instead if you need the same fitting lit continuously.

What does the auto-test feature do?

The Ontec S30 carries an integrated self-test function that automatically runs the routine battery and lamp checks required of emergency fittings. It records the outcome so you spend far less time on manual periodic testing. This helps keep a site compliant with much lower maintenance effort.

Can it be used outdoors or in wet locations?

Yes. With an IP65 rating it is sealed against dust and water jets, so it is suitable for exposed outdoor approaches, covered walkways and damp or dusty industrial areas. That makes it a good fit for loading bays, plant rooms and entrances.

How should the fitting be cleaned?

Wipe the white plastic housing and lens with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, with the supply isolated first. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can mar the surface and affect the IP65 seal. A clear lens keeps the emergency output at full effect.
