The Canolight Emergency Driver (SKU: CL-ACC-LHB1-EMERGENCY DRIVER-16W) is a purpose-built accessory designed to provide emergency backup illumination for LED high bay lighting systems. During a power interruption, the internal battery activates automatically, sustaining light output at the fixture and ensuring safe egress conditions for building occupants. This makes it an essential component in any commercial or industrial facility subject to emergency lighting codes.
With a rated output of 16 watts, this emergency driver delivers sufficient lumens to maintain visibility in large-format spaces such as warehouses, distribution centers, sports facilities, and manufacturing plants. The driver is designed to integrate seamlessly with compatible Canolight high bay LED fixtures, eliminating the need for standalone emergency lighting units and reducing overall installation complexity and cost.
Installation is straightforward for licensed electricians. The emergency driver module mounts internally within the high bay fixture housing, connecting to the main LED driver circuit. Once installed, it operates autonomously — charging continuously during normal operation and discharging automatically upon detecting a loss of AC power. No manual intervention is required, ensuring consistent and dependable emergency performance at all times.
From a compliance standpoint, integrating an emergency driver into your LED high bay system supports adherence to the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) and provincial fire codes that mandate maintained emergency lighting in commercial and industrial occupancies. This solution provides a cost-effective path to compliance compared to installing dedicated emergency luminaires throughout a large facility.
As a Canolight-branded accessory, this emergency driver is engineered to the same quality standards as the full Canolight fixture lineup. It is available through Lumibox and LEDCo, your trusted Canadian LED lighting distributors, and is backed by professional technical support. Whether for new construction or retrofit projects, this driver accessory is the smart choice for ensuring your high bay lighting system is fully emergency-ready.
