In the early stages of the era of emergency lighting, the industry widely employed a one-to-one configuration of fixtures and emergency drivers to fulfill the requirements. This approach included early fluorescent lamps, which utilized electronic emergency ballasts to enable emergency lighting functionality for the fluorescent fixtures. Similarly, various LED fixtures that emerged later also adopted LED Emergency Drivers to provide emergency solutions for the fixtures, still following the one-to-one compatibility mode between fixtures and emergency drivers. Although this approach may be considered conventional, LED Emergency Drivers maintain an unshakable position in various projects due to their mature production technology and relatively lower prices.
In recent years, with the increasing specialization in various industries, the division of labor within the lighting industry has become more apparent for lighting fixture manufacturers and lighting project engineering service providers. For lighting fixture manufacturers, when it comes to implementing emergency solutions for a specific type of lighting fixture, traditional options such as emergency ballasts or emergency drivers are still their best choice. They would choose a suitable LED Emergency Driver to match their own LED fixtures, creating a complete LED lighting system with emergency backup to meet the market’s demand for emergency lighting.
However, for lighting project engineering service providers, all planning and implementation are done considering the entire project as a whole. In a lighting project, various types of lighting fixtures are involved to meet the diverse requirements of different areas. Clearly, the traditional model of using LED Emergency Drivers alone cannot simultaneously fulfill the emergency requirements for different types of lighting fixtures. In such cases, the advantages of the Emergency Lighting Inverter become evident:
1. Powerful compatibility: The Emergency Lighting Inverter can provide AC output in the form of a pure
sine wave, identical to the waveform of utility power. This enables it to be used with various types of
lighting systems, including halogen lamps, LED fixtures, fluorescent fixtures, LED strip lighting systems,
CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps), linear fixtures, and more. This strong compatibility makes it suitable
forvarious environments, including retail spaces, commercial buildings, hotels, industrial facilities,
schools, and healthcare institutions.
2. Flexibility and integration: Unlike the traditional fluorescent emergency ballasts or LED Emergency Drivers that require one-to-one pairing with fixtures, the Emergency Lighting Inverter can provide emergency functionality for multiple types of fixtures simultaneously.
When there is a need to equip emergency functionality for different types of fixtures at the same time or when the fixtures themselves cannot integrate emergency functions, the EmergencyLighting Inverter is an excellent choice. This flexibility simplies the design and installation process, making the emergency lighting system more streamlined.
3. Remote installation: The Emergency Lighting Inverter can be installed remotely, providing irreplaceable advantages for centralized management and subsequent maintenance of the entire emergency lighting system.
4. Long-term benefits: Although the individual cost of an Emergency Lighting Inverter may be higher than that of traditional LED emergency drivers, the long-term benefits are more significant. The flexibility and compatibility of the Emergency Lighting Inverter allow it to be suitable for various types of lighting systems and fixtures. This means that in different projects and with different lighting requirements, only one Emergency Lighting Inverter is needed to meet the emergency power supply requirement, eliminating the need to purchase and install multiple models of LED emergency drivers. This reduces procurement and inventory costs, and simplifies supply chain management. Additionally, as the Emergency Lighting Inverter supports remote installation and centralized management, it can reduce the costs of daily operation and maintenance. The inverters can be centrally placed in easily accessible and maintainable locations, reducing labor and time costs. For maintenance personnel, managing and maintaining the entire emergency lighting system becomes easier as they only need to reach the centralized inverters, without the need to individually locate and maintain each fixture.
Due to these advantages, Emergency Lighting Inverters are increasingly favored by professionals in various lighting projects.
As a professional company specializing in emergency lighting solutions for nearly 20 years, Phenix Lighting not only offers a complete range of LED Emergency Drivers but also leads the industry in the field of Emergency Lighting Inverters. Phenix Inverters are characterized by their small size, light weight, and powerful functionality. Currently, the company’s main focus is on Mini Lighting Inverters and Parallelable Modular Inverters within the range of 10-2000W.
Utilizing Phenix Lighting’s patented 0-10V Automatic Preset Dimming (0-10V APD) technology, when there is a power outage, the inverter automatically reduces the power output of dimmable lighting fixtures. This ensures that the brightness of the fixtures meets the requirements for emergency lighting while effectively extending the runtime of the emergency lighting system or increasing the number of supported fixtures. This helps customers save costs and achieve energy-saving objectives. Phenix Lighting’s 0-10V APD technology contributes to sustainable lighting solutions by reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint, aiding in the development of more environmentally friendly lighting systems.
If you are also a seasoned professional in the field of emergency lighting and are seeking a partner in the Lighting Inverter aspect, Phenix Lighting is definitely your best choice.
