Emergency LED conversion kits (or emergency power packs) transform standard LED light fittings into emergency luminaires, providing 1–3 hours of illumination during power failures. These kits consist of a battery, inverter, and LED indicator, making them essential for compliance with safety regulations. They are compatible with most LED panels and downlights.

Key Features and Benefits

Safety Compliance: Ensures lighting remains operational during power outages, crucial for emergency evacuations.

Extended Backup: Typically provides 3 hours of illumination, with some offering 1.5 hours at higher output.

Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of LED drivers and modules (dimmable and non-dimmable).

Battery Types: Often utilize modern LiFePO4 batteries for better performance and longer life, though Ni-Cd is also common.

Versatility: Available for various fittings, including panels, downlights, and linear lights.

Types of Conversion Kits

Maintained: The LED operates normally via standard power but switches to battery power during mains failure.

Non-Maintained: The LED remains off until a power failure occurs.

Self-Test: Automatically performs required emergency lighting tests.

Components and Installation

Inverter/Driver: Switches the light to battery power.

Battery Pack: Provides emergency power (usually 2–3 hours).

Indicator LED: A green light that shows the battery is charging and functioning correctly.

These kits are often installed in commercial buildings, offices, and escape routes to comply with regulations, with many offering simple installation to existing light fixtures.
