Collection: Emergency LED Drivers

An emergency driver is a vital safety device that provides backup power to LED fixtures during a power outage, ensuring they remain illuminated for safe egress. These components automatically switch to battery power the moment a failure is detected, keeping critical pathways lit and maintaining safety compliance. Whether you need a single emergency driver or are outfitting an entire building, the right LED emergency drivers ensure your lighting stays on when it matters most.

Reliable Backup Power with an Emergency LED Driver

In any building, safety is paramount. An emergency LED driver is the core of your emergency lighting system, guaranteeing that fixtures in stairwells, hallways, and exit routes remain functional for at least 90 minutes, as required by UL 924 standards. This allows for an orderly and safe evacuation during an unexpected power loss. Our collection of high-quality emergency drivers provides the dependability you need to protect occupants and ensure your facility is always prepared.

How Emergency Drivers Power Your Fixtures

An emergency LED driver integrates with your fixture's wiring to deliver power when the main AC supply is cut. Depending on the model, this is typically achieved in one of two ways:

1. Powering the LED Module Directly: Many emergency drivers work alongside the fixture's normal driver. In an emergency, they bypass this normal driver and deliver power directly from the battery to the LED modules. This type of driver outputs a low-voltage DC (Direct Current), typically in the range of 15-60VDC, matching the requirements of the LED array itself.
2. Powering the Normal Fixture Driver: Other emergency LED drivers are designed to power the fixture's existing AC driver. These models output either a high-voltage AC (Alternating Current)—often 120VAC or 277VAC—or a high-voltage DC (Direct Current), which can be up to 500VDC. This method uses the fixture’s own electronics to power the LEDs, typically at a reduced light output to conserve battery life.

UFO High Bay Emergency LED Drivers

UFO high bay fixtures, commonly found in warehouses, gymnasiums, and manufacturing plants, have a unique design and high light output that requires a special emergency backup solution. Our collection includes emergency LED drivers specifically engineered for these applications, featuring:

• Optimized Form Factor: A rugged, circular or octagonal design that integrates cleanly with the UFO fixture, often mounting directly on top.
• IP65 Weatherproof Rating: Ensures reliable operation in the dusty or damp locations where high bays are typically installed.
• Simplified Installation: Often equipped with an integrated junction box and mounting hardware like hooks and chains for a secure setup.
• High-Voltage Output: Designed to provide the necessary high-voltage DC power to operate powerful high bay fixtures in emergency mode.

Choosing the Right LED Emergency Drivers

Finding the correct LED emergency driver is simple with our diverse inventory. Based on your fixture's specifications and required emergency light output, you can select the right driver. Consider these key factors:

1. Operating Method: Do you need a driver that provides low-voltage DC to the LED module or one that provides high-voltage AC/DC to the fixture’s driver?
2. Power Output: Choose a wattage that, when multiplied by your fixture's efficacy, meets the lumen requirements for your space.
3. Physical Fit: Ensure you select an internal or external model that is physically compatible with your fixture.
