The kit includes a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery pack, an LED emergency driver\/inverter, and a remote LED charge indicator with a plug-and-play connector system that requires no hard-wiring between components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntended for commercial retrofit projects where Building Regulations or fire safety compliance requires emergency lighting without replacing existing downlight fittings, the VFR sits above the ceiling void within the downlight's installation space. The 178mm × 50mm × 28mm polycarbonate housing fits through standard downlight cut-outs, allowing installation or maintenance without damaging ceiling finishes. The kit operates on 230V 50Hz mains, automatically switching to battery power on mains failure and providing 3 hours of emergency illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit supports three modes: maintained (lamp on continuously, switching to battery on mains loss), non-maintained (lamp off under normal conditions, battery-powered on mains failure), and switched (lamp controlled by a switch, switching to battery on mains loss). The remote LED indicator mounts outside the ceiling void, showing charge status and mains\/battery operation without needing to access the kit above the ceiling. The polycarbonate construction carries an IP20 rating and the entire kit is Class II double-insulated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnightsbridge backs the VFR with a 3-year warranty on the inverter and housing, excluding the battery pack which has a typical service life of 3-4 years depending on charge\/discharge cycles. The kit is compatible with dimmable downlights when operating on mains power, though dimming is disabled when running on battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e178mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmergency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaintained \/ Non-maintained \/ Switched\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes*\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 Year Guarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty Information\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e(excluding battery)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/datasheet-VFR7EM.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Knightsbridge downlights is this kit compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VFR is designed for Knightsbridge 7W and 8W fire-rated downlights.
