This ORTECH emergency light uses modern LED technology to deliver bright, even illumination during power interruptions while consuming very little energy from its internal battery. Compared to older incandescent or halogen emergency fixtures, the LED source runs significantly cooler and lasts far longer, meaning less maintenance and fewer battery replacements over the life of the unit. The result is a dependable energy-efficient emergency fixture that's ready to perform year after year.
Inside the housing, an efficient LED driver paired with a rechargeable battery pack ensures a smooth, automatic switchover when normal power is lost. The unit continuously charges while connected to your building's electrical system and self-activates the instant it detects an outage. Thoughtful thermal management within the enclosure protects both the battery and the LED components from heat buildup, extending overall service life and maintaining consistent light output throughout the rated emergency duration.
This fixture is cUL listed and meets the rigorous safety and performance requirements set by Canadian electrical codes, so you can install it with full confidence that it complies with local inspection standards. Its broad DC voltage input range accommodates a variety of wiring configurations, making it a versatile choice for both new construction and retrofit projects. The durable housing is built to withstand the everyday demands of residential and light commercial environments.
Installation is straightforward for a licensed electrician — the unit mounts directly to a standard electrical box, and the adjustable remote heads can be aimed after mounting to optimize coverage along exit paths. With no ballasts to replace and minimal long-term upkeep, this LED emergency light represents a meaningful upgrade over legacy systems in terms of both energy savings and reliability. It's a small investment in safety that pays dividends every time the lights go out.
