When the power goes out, your warehouse shouldn't go dark. The Canolight Emergency Driver (SKU: CL-ACC-LHB1-EMERGENCY DRIVER-16W) is the backup battery module that turns a standard LED high bay into an emergency-ready fixture. People look for it under a lot of names — emergency LED driver, emergency lighting battery pack, emergency battery backup for high bay, LED driver with battery — and they're all describing the same thing: a compact module that lives inside the fixture, charges quietly while the lights are on, and takes over the instant utility power disappears. It's built for LED high bay lighting systems in warehouses, shops, arenas and plants where an unlit aisle is a real safety problem, not just an inconvenience.

This module has a rated emergency output of 16 watts, enough to keep meaningful light at the fixture so people can see racking, aisles, machinery and exit paths instead of fumbling toward a doorway. Because the light comes from the high bay that's already mounted overhead, you get illumination spread across the floor area the fixture normally covers — no awkward pools of light from a wall-mounted twin-head unit. The internal battery charges continuously during normal operation and discharges automatically on loss of AC power, with no switch to flip and no manual intervention from staff. It is a Canolight-branded accessory, engineered to the same standards as the rest of the Canolight fixture line.

This driver is made to integrate with compatible Canolight LED high bay fixtures, mounting internally in the fixture housing and connecting to the main LED driver circuit — so one trade, one fixture, one install. It's a smart move for distribution centres, manufacturing plants, sports facilities, big-box retail backrooms, municipal garages and agricultural buildings across Canada, where the National Building Code and provincial fire codes require maintained emergency lighting in commercial and industrial occupancies. Instead of scattering dedicated emergency lighting units through a large building, you make the high bays you already specified do the job. Planning a new build or a retrofit? Add this emergency driver to your high bay order and hand your electrician a clean, code-minded lighting package.

What this accessory actually does
The Canolight Emergency Driver is a self-contained emergency battery backup module for LED high bay lighting. Under normal conditions it sits in the background, drawing a trickle of power to keep its internal battery topped up while the fixture runs off its standard driver. The moment AC power to the fixture is lost — a utility outage, a tripped feeder, a fire alarm cutting power — the module detects the loss and immediately drives the fixture's LED board on battery, maintaining light where people and forklifts are moving. When power returns, it hands control back and resumes charging. Nothing to reset, nothing for staff to remember.

Installation and wiring
Installation is straightforward for a licensed electrician. The emergency driver module mounts inside the high bay fixture housing and connects to the main LED driver circuit, so the whole assembly comes down as one unit if it ever needs service. Because the emergency function is built into the luminaire, you avoid running separate circuits and mounting brackets for standalone emergency heads, and you skip the visual clutter of remote heads on the walls of a clean new facility. Plan the work at the same time as the high bay install — it is far easier to fit the module on the ground or on the lift during initial assembly than to pull fixtures back down later. As always, follow the Canadian Electrical Code and local inspection requirements, and coordinate the emergency circuit with your electrical designer.

Where it earns its keep
Think of any space where the ceiling is high and the floor is busy: a distribution centre with narrow-aisle racking, a manufacturing plant with moving machinery, a hockey arena or gymnasium full of people, a truck bay, a recycling facility, a farm equipment shop. In all of these, a sudden blackout is a genuine hazard, and a high bay emergency backup keeps the aisles readable long enough to shut equipment down and walk out safely. Building owners also appreciate that the emergency lighting is in the same fixture family as the general lighting, which keeps maintenance simple — one product line, one point of contact for questions.

Code, compliance and documentation
Adding an emergency driver to an LED high bay system supports compliance with the National Building Code of Canada and provincial fire codes that require maintained emergency lighting in commercial and industrial occupancies, and it is usually a simpler path than specifying dedicated emergency luminaires across a large floor plate. Before you order, confirm the required emergency coverage and layout with your engineer or authority having jurisdiction.
