LED emergency backup drivers are the essential fail-safe components that transform standard LED fixtures into code-compliant emergency lights. When a power outage occurs, these emergency ballasts instantly switch to battery power, providing the required 90 minutes of illumination to ensure safe egress. Our collection features high-reliability constant power drivers designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide variety of LED panels, troffers, and downlights.
Engineered for versatility, our LED emergency kits are available in multiple wattages and voltages to match your specific lumen requirements. By installing industrial-grade backup drivers, you can maintain building safety standards without the need for additional standalone emergency "bug-eye" units, preserving the clean aesthetic of your facility. Explore our selection of UL-Listed emergency drivers to ensure your lighting system is ready when it matters most.
Understanding Compatibility and Code Compliance
Selecting the right emergency driver is a balance of power output and physical fit. Because these drivers must sustain light during a crisis, they are subject to rigorous safety testing.
Constant Power vs. Constant Current
We specialize in Constant Power LED Drivers. Unlike older models, these ensure that the light output remains at a steady brightness for the entire 90-minute discharge, preventing the "dimming" effect that can occur as batteries lose charge.
Automatic Maintenance Charging
Our drivers feature intelligent charging circuits that keep the high-temperature Ni-Cd or LiFePO4 batteries at peak readiness without overcharging, extending the life of the driver and reducing maintenance cycles.
Installation and Safety Standards
UL 924 Listed for Peace of Mind
All of our emergency backup kits are UL 924 Listed for field or factory installation. This means they have been independently tested to guarantee they will activate within 0.5 seconds of a power failure, meeting the strict requirements of life-safety codes.
Internal vs. External Mounting
Depending on your fixture type, you may need a driver that mounts inside the ballast channel or an external "top-mount" unit. Many of our models include a flexible conduit for easy external attachment to the junction box of your existing LED panels.
