3w Small LED Emergency Downlight

If you’ve ever been in a blackout, fumbling through the darkness for your phone, you’ll love this downlight. A sudden power outage, especially at night, is not only annoying but also compromises your (and everyone you live with) safety. Most of us have our phones close to us, but that’s not always a guarantee.

The solution? Installing emergency lights. And we’re not talking about those bulky lights in the hallways that look like old cameras with large flash bulbs. We’re talking about this revolutionary 3W LED emergency downlight. They look like your typical downlight, but especially useful when the power cuts off, when they remain lit to allow for regrouping, evacuation, and escape.

If you didn’t know yet, there are two kinds of emergency lights, namely, maintained and non-maintained. Maintained emergency lights are lights that are on all the time and stay on when there’s a blackout. Non-maintained emergency lights, on the other hand, are their counterpart, where the light is off during normal operations and turns on only when the main power supply fails. That’s what this emergency downlight is!

Knowing this, you might ask, “What if the light breaks due to overcharging?” That’s the beauty of this emergency light! It’s actually got an overcharge/discharge protection to prevent any damage to the light fixture when it’s not operational. This ensures that they’ll be useful in times when you really need them. If it is not the unsung heroes of the modern world, we don’t know what is.

Everyone loves an underdog, and this LED emergency downlight fits the role. It’s small and has a very low wattage rating at only 3W (so it doesn’t hog a big chunk of your power consumption—what a power saver), but despite that, it’s still able to produce 140 lumens of maximum brightness, which is plenty during emergencies. When there’s an emergency and power gets cut off, you’ll be thanking these lights for keeping you safe just by helping you see which way to evacuate.

These LED emergency downlights also only need 5-6 hours of charging time. You might want to install them during the day when it’s brighter to allow for some charging time. After that, they should be good for emergency lighting.

How long do blackouts during emergencies last? No one can say for certain. That’s why this downlight has a 3-hour emergency backup lighting—one, for compliance with the regulations, and two, for safety, to give enough time for anyone inside a building to regroup, navigate and exit the space if necessary.

And hey, if it’s just a blackout caused by a power grid issue and there’s no real danger, you’ve got yourself bright lighting for at least 3 hours while others are relying on their uncharged phones to get them through the darkness.

What's more, this emergency downlight has an average lifespan of 20,000 hours. You can have this installed and ready for any emergencies for years! You might even forget you have these in the first place, and you’ll be thankful you do.

Why install those bulky emergency wall lights that ruin the aesthetic of a space when you can have one that functions the same way but without the eyesore? That’s right! This LED emergency downlight has a low-profile design. It blends with your ceiling without disrupting the overall interior design. You might even forget it’s there until a blackout happens!

Emergency lights like this one are best for public and commercial spaces where there’s a chance for panic to happen when an emergency occurs. If there’s anything disaster movies have shown us, it’s that darkness equals panicky people. And we don’t want that in public spaces where there are a lot of people.

“But what about installation? It’s got to be complicated compared to the wall emergency lights since these are downlights.”

That’s us assuming what you might be thinking if you’re a bit sceptical. And the answer to that is no. The downlight is actually fairly easy to install, though it has more parts than just the downlight itself. You see, what makes this an emergency light is that it has an integrated Ni-Cd battery that guarantees a long expected lifespan, and of course, a reliable light source in times of emergency blackouts.

Just make sure you have a 35mm cut-out hole to fit this downlight in. The battery goes into the hole first, and the downlight last.
