FAQs
What does 'Non-Maintained' mean for this emergency light?
A 'Non-Maintained' emergency light operates only when the main power supply fails. It remains off during normal operation and switches on automatically during a power outage.
What is the IP20 rating, and what does it signify for usage?
The IP20 rating means the unit is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm (like fingers) and has no protection against water. Therefore, it is suitable for dry indoor environments only.
How long does the battery typically last during a power outage?
Emergency lighting regulations typically require emergency lights to operate for a minimum of 3 hours during a power failure. Refer to local building and safety codes for specific duration requirements.
Can I replace the LED bulbs myself?
The LED diodes are integrated into the unit and are not designed for user replacement. If the LEDs fail, the entire unit may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician for any internal issues.
How often should I test the emergency light?
It is recommended to test the emergency light monthly for a brief period and conduct a longer duration test annually, as per safety regulations. Refer to your local safety guidelines for precise testing schedules.
What is the expected lifespan of the unit?
The Bright Source LED Emergency Twin Spot has an impressive lifespan of 50,000 hours, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
What color is the light emitted?
The unit emits a cool white light with a color temperature of 6500K.
Troubleshooting
Unit does not light up during a power outage.
Verify that the unit is correctly wired to a permanently live mains supply. Check the battery connection and ensure the battery is charged (if applicable and accessible). If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.
Lights flicker or are dim.
This could indicate a low battery charge or a failing battery. Allow the unit to charge for the recommended period (typically 24 hours after initial installation or prolonged power loss). If flickering continues, the battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified electrician.
Spotlights are not adjustable or stuck.
Gently try to reposition the spotlights. If they feel rigid, do not force them, as this could cause damage. Ensure no external obstructions are preventing movement. If they remain fixed, consult the product manual or a professional.
