Description
The ONTEC S30 is a 3W surface-mounted emergency light fitting built to mark escape routes when the mains supply fails. Running from a 220-240V AC supply, it delivers a crisp 5000K output that reads clearly against signage and exit paths, the cool tone helping the marked route stand out in low visibility. Listed in UK terms as an emergency light fitting, it falls under what the US trade calls an emergency LED light, and the compact 250 x 29 x 194 mm body keeps it unobtrusive on the surface it mounts to.
Its job is escape-route marking rather than ambient room lighting, so it suits corridors, stairwells, landings, lobbies and the routes leading to a final exit in offices, shops and similar premises. Coverage is best judged by how clearly it picks out the path and the exit point ahead rather than by any room-size figure, so position it where it can light the line of travel and any change in level. With an IP20 rating it is for dry indoor use only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, damp areas and any outdoor or sheltered-outdoor position.
The housing is moulded plastic in a white finish that sits neatly on a ceiling. The S30 carries an auto-test function, running its own checks on the battery and lamp so faults are flagged without a manual walk-round, which eases routine compliance duties. It is surface-mounted to the ceiling and rated IP20 for protected indoor sites. The wider Ontec range includes further emergency formats and outputs for matching a scheme across a building, available alongside this model.

Frequently Asked
Is the ONTEC S30 maintained or non-maintained?
It is an emergency fitting that illuminates the escape route when the normal mains supply fails. Check the specific operating mode against your scheme requirements before install, as emergency fittings are specified to suit either standby (non-maintained) or always-on (maintained) duty.
What does the auto-test function do?
The auto-test feature runs its own periodic checks on the battery and lamp and flags any fault, so you do not need to carry out every functional test manually. This eases routine maintenance and helps keep records of compliance up to date. Scheduled inspections by a competent person are still required.
Can the ONTEC S30 be used outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor use only. Keep it clear of bathrooms, damp areas and any outdoor or sheltered-outdoor location, and choose a fitting with a higher IP rating for those positions.
How do I clean the ONTEC S30?
Switch off at the mains first, then wipe the white plastic housing with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can mark the surface. Keep the fitting free of dust so the emergency output stays clear.
