Eaton’s emergency lighting – guaranteed safety, even with no power


SafeLite and RoundTech luminaires.

Emergency lighting is an indispensable part of any safety system. In case of a sudden power failure (which can be caused by an internal technical error or a general power loss in the area) emergency lighting is often the only source of light that provides visibility and facilitates the correct execution of emergency procedures. Eaton Electric has been one of the leading companies in the field of emergency lighting for over a century now. It started its business in this sector in 1906. One of its first products were lamps used in coal mines. Eaton is defined by innovative solutions, high-quality products, and commitment to implementing safe and efficient emergency lighting systems. Let’s take a close look at some of the products by this renowned brand which are available in our catalogue.

RoundTech luminaires

A luminaire which can provide light for 3 hours after power loss.

Emergency luminaires are a key element of emergency lighting systems offered by Eaton. Those carefully designed devices from the RoundTech line take over the control of lighting in case of a power failure and ensure full visibility and safety in places in which lack of illumination is unacceptable. Such luminaires work in two modes – maintained and non-maintained, which means that they can function as regular lights, but in the case of a power failure the lighting elements will source power from built-in batteries. They have a capacity of 1.5 Ah or 3 Ah (it depends on the model of the luminaire), thanks to which the luminaire can keep emitting light for one or three hours. Products from the RoundTech line are made from polycarbonate and offer the luminosity of 150 lm or 200 lm, with the power consumption of 0.3 W or 1.1 W. It’s worth mentioning here that the luminaires boast an IP rating of IP44 or IP65 and are suitable for indoor use.

 

SafeLite luminaires

The luminaire which emits light with the luminosity of 60 lm.

In the Eaton Electric catalogue, you can also find luminaires from the SafeLite line, which are suitable for use with the well-known pictograms that are part of safety signage inside factories or public buildings. They can work in the maintained mode, and then they emit light with the luminosity of 60 lm. In case of a power failure, the luminaire goes into non-maintained mode, powered by a built-in battery with the capacity of 0.8 Ah, 1.7 Ah, or 2 Ah. In this mode, it has a luminosity of 150 lm or 200 lm, and it can operate continuously for one or three hours. These products are dedicated for indoor use, and they offer an IP rating (depending on the model) of IP42 or IP65. The power consumption of a single luminaire is 2.7 W or 3.2 W.

SafeLite accessories

TME also offers various accessories dedicated to the SafeLite luminaires, such as pictograms that mark escape routes, covers, security enclosures, and flush-mounted (recessed) bases. With these elements, you can easily build an emergency lighting system that is compliant with the European standards.

Automation solutions and circuit breakers

Eaton Electric is more than just emergency lighting systems. The US-based company also offers an enormous range of products related to industrial automation and protection devices, which are the basis of production processes in many factories worldwide. Products such as regulation and control systems, sensors and transducers, circuit breakers, RCDs, and motor breakers will surely be of interest to any maintenance worker or building maintenance employee.
