ONTEC S W1302 6.5W Maintained Emergency Light - Auto-Test Cold-Rated Surface IP65 - White

The ONTEC S W1302 is a maintained LED emergency luminaire drawing 6.5W and delivering 204 lumens at a crisp 5000K, the cool-white tone widely specified for escape signage and exit marking. Running on 220-240V AC, it stays lit in normal use and switches to its integral battery the moment mains power fails, holding the light on a safe escape path. In US terms this sits in the emergency egress lighting category, used to keep stairwells, corridors and exit routes visible during a power outage.

Built for surface mounting, the W1302 fixes directly to a wall or ceiling at the point where it best marks a route or a change in level, such as a corridor turn, a doorway or the head of a stair. As an emergency fitting its job is route marking rather than general room lighting, so its output is judged on how clearly it picks out the escape path rather than on a coverage area. The cold-rated build extends its use into unheated and exposed positions, including loading bays, car parks, plant rooms and external walkways where standard indoor emergency fittings would struggle.

The housing is moulded plastic in a white finish and carries an IP65 rating, so it is sealed against dust and water jets and is suitable for exposed outdoor and wet locations. A maintained driver and integral rechargeable battery sit inside the body, with an auto-test function that runs scheduled self-checks of the battery and lamp to support compliance without manual discharge testing. The fitting weighs 576g and mounts surface-fixed via the supplied bracket. Other maintained and non-maintained options sit within the wider ONTEC S range from Kanlux.

Is this a maintained or non-maintained emergency light?

It is a maintained luminaire, so the LED stays lit during normal mains operation and continues to run from its integral battery when the supply fails. This suits routes that need permanent illumination as well as guaranteed emergency cover.

How does the auto-test function work?

The fitting runs scheduled self-tests of the battery and lamp automatically, checking that it will perform in an emergency. This reduces the need for manual discharge testing and helps with ongoing compliance records.

Can it be used outdoors or in cold areas?

Yes. With an IP65 rating it is sealed against dust and water jets and is suitable for exposed outdoor and wet locations. It is also cold-rated, so it performs in unheated spaces such as car parks, loading bays and external walkways.

How should the fitting be cleaned?

Wipe the white housing and diffuser with a soft damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents that could mark the plastic, and make sure the supply is off before cleaning around the fitting.
