Plug & Play Emergency Lighting Kit - White

An emergency kit is the part of a lighting installation that keeps a light running when the mains supply drops out, and this one arrives pre-wired for that job. The body is a slim white module with leads emerging from both ends, each finishing in a push-fit connector rather than bare copper. That is what the plug and play name is telling you: the kit couples up through its own connectors instead of being cut, stripped and screwed into terminals. Beyond those leads and the white housing, the manufacturer publishes very little about this unit, so we state nothing about its battery, its duration or the lamp load it will carry.

Kits of this type belong with a host luminaire, sitting inside a fitting body or in the void beside it, wherever a wiring plan calls for a light that stays on during a power failure. Corridors, stairwells, storerooms, workshops and small commercial units are the usual places for that requirement. Whether it suits your own fitting is a compatibility question rather than a style one, and the connector on your luminaire is the first thing to check.

Emergency lighting forms part of a building's fixed wiring and does a safety job in a power cut, so installation belongs to a qualified electrician who can match the kit to the luminaire and to the standards the building works to. The manufacturer does not state a duration, a battery type, a light output, a colour temperature or any dimming behaviour, and no IP rating is given, so nothing here tells you how the unit is protected against moisture. The unit carries a printed label, and that is where your installer will look for the ratings before wiring anything in.

What does an emergency kit actually do?

It keeps a light running when the mains supply fails, so escape routes, stairs and work areas stay lit until normal power comes back on.

Will it work with the light fitting I already have?

That depends on the connectors and the free space in or beside your fitting, so compare the plugs on both parts and have your electrician confirm compatibility.

How long will it keep the light going in a power cut?

The manufacturer does not state a duration for this kit. Your installer should read the figure from the label on the unit before commissioning it.

Can I wire this in myself?

No. Emergency lighting is part of a building's fixed wiring and carries a safety duty, so a qualified electrician should install, test and record it.

Is any dimming supported?

No dimming information is stated by the manufacturer, so treat that as unknown and ask your electrician to check the label before specifying controls.

How many should I order?

The listing is a single kit and the minimum order is one, so order one unit for each luminaire position your scheme needs to cover.
