Collection: Emergency Lighting Inverters

An emergency lighting inverter (or IPS) allows you to turn your standard interior lights into code-compliant emergency egress lighting. Unlike emergency drivers, which must be installed inside each individual fixture, an inverter sits "upstream" on the circuit. When the power goes out, it automatically kicks in, sending 120V or 277V power to a connected load of fixtures. This is the preferred solution for high-end architectural spaces, lobbies, and restaurants where you want to maintain a clean aesthetic without installing ugly "bug eye" units or accessing the internal wiring of expensive designer pendants.

Mini Inverters vs. Central Systems

We offer solutions ranging from single-room support to whole-building power:

• Mini Inverters: Compact units (typically 125W to 400W) designed to be mounted in a ceiling grid or on a wall. These are perfect for powering a single row of hallway lights or a specific group of recessed cans.
• Central Inverter Systems: Large, cabinet-style units (1000W+) capable of powering entire circuits or floors. These are ideal for schools, hospitals, and large commercial buildings.
• Surface & Recessed Mount: Mini inverters are available in T-Grid mount options to hide completely out of sight above the drop ceiling.

Pure Sine Wave Inverters for LED Fixtures

Not all backup power is created equal. Standard battery backups often produce "modified sine wave" power, which can cause flickering or damage to sensitive electronics. Our UL 924 listed inverters utilize Pure Sine Wave technology. This ensures the output electricity matches the clean power from the utility grid, guaranteeing that your LED drivers run smoothly, silently, and without flickering during the entire 90-minute emergency discharge.
