ONTEC G 250x30 1.2W Non-Maintained Emergency Light Auto-Test Surface - White

The ONTEC G is a non-maintained LED emergency light rated at 1.2W, designed to mark escape routes and exits when the mains supply fails. Running on a 220-240V AC supply, it stays dark in normal use and illuminates only on power loss, throwing a clear 5000K cool-white light that reads sharply against a darkened space. This is the kind of fitting specified for life-safety compliance, what is often listed as an emergency LED light or emergency light fitting, and the auto-test version handles its own routine checks rather than relying on manual inspection.

Built for indoor commercial and public buildings, the ONTEC G suits corridors, stairwells, plant rooms, offices and other circulation areas where a defined escape path has to remain visible during an outage. As a non-maintained unit it is intended for spaces that are normally lit by other fittings, so it does not contribute to everyday ambient lighting; instead it provides the marker light along the route the moment supply is interrupted. Position it to cover doorways, direction changes and stair heads, since coverage here is about escape-route visibility rather than general room brightness. Its compact 250 x 29 x 194 mm body keeps it discreet on a wall or ceiling line.

The housing is white plastic with a slim profile and surface mounting, so it fixes directly to the ceiling without a recess. It carries an IP20 rating, which means it is for dry indoor locations only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, damp areas and any outdoor position. The integral battery powers the LED during an outage, and the auto-test feature runs scheduled function and duration checks automatically, flagging faults so maintenance records stay straightforward. The ONTEC G sits within a wider Ontec emergency range at Niori, with maintained and selectable-output versions available alongside this non-maintained model.

What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained emergency lighting?

This ONTEC G is a non-maintained unit, which means it stays off during normal operation and only lights up when the mains supply fails. Maintained fittings, by contrast, are lit all the time and switch to battery on failure. Non-maintained models like this one suit areas that already have normal lighting and only need an emergency marker on power loss.

How long does it stay lit during a power cut?

The integral battery powers the LED for the rated emergency duration once mains supply is lost, providing illumination along the escape route until power returns or the battery duration expires. Emergency fittings of this class are typically specified to run for the standard duration required for safe evacuation. Regular testing confirms the battery is holding its rated time.

How does the automatic self-test work?

The auto-test function runs scheduled function and duration checks on the fitting without manual intervention, simulating a mains failure to confirm the LED and battery perform correctly. If a fault is detected it is flagged, which makes keeping compliance and maintenance records far simpler. This reduces the need for staff to manually test each unit.

Can the ONTEC G be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. It carries an IP20 rating, so it is suitable for dry indoor locations only. Keep it clear of bathrooms, damp areas and any outdoor or exposed position, and choose a higher-rated emergency fitting where moisture or weather is a factor.
