HOCHIKI 408832 Fireescape Lite

General information

FIREscape lite® is a highly cost-effective and environmentally friendly range of self-contained emergency lighting luminaires and exit signs, utilising the latest LED technology and featuring a uniquely designed ‘step-down’ transformer, which allows them to be mains-powered. The integral back-up battery provides enough power to illuminate the standard units for over three hours exceeding both UK and European standard requirements. FIREscape lite® units may be fitted at any location where a permanent live feed connection to the lighting circuit can be made. The luminaire range provides 3rd Party verified, ICEL-compliant levels of illumination for escape routes, points of emphasis, open areas and final exits with the high-power models able to perform at heights of 9 metres plus. The exit sign range provides ISO7010-compliant, easy-to-read signage in a variety of direction formats. The internal electronics of each device provide continual self-diagnosing of the charging circuit, back-up battery and the main LED. The integral bi-coloured status LED instantly indicates if there is a problem with the performance of any element, ensuring the device will always perform to its optimum. With these features, FIREscape lite® provides the ultimate in emergency lighting safety for your building and its occupants.
