Illuminex
Advanced Emergency Lighting Technology Saves Energy and Reduces Costs
Illuminex, A member of the Eruma plc group of companies, is a technology-led
manufacturer of intelligent emergency lighting products; the new Xscape
family has been created to take full advantage of the latest in solid
state light source and battery technologies.
The
Xscape family automatically self-tests to meet the monthly and annual
testing of every single luminaire in the system required by BS EN 5266
part 1, Code of practice for the emergency lighting of premises.
The results of the BS 5266 tests are stored in local memory for recovery
at a convenient time, either by using the 'Walk-by' data capture capability
of a hand-held unit or, in centrally-controlled systems, where each luminaire
has a unique address, the data is automatically transferred to the control
panel from where it can be recovered for long-term storage on any PC.
In addition to enabling the owners and occupiers of buildings to conform
to the legislative requirements in a cost-effective way, the new Xscape
family gives users performance improvements, a significant reduction in
the cost of ownership and a much reduced impact on the environment when
measured against current technology.
The family consists of flush and surface mounting standard and mini downlighters
for open areas and corridors, bulkhead fittings for internal and external
use, surface and flush mounting exit signs, retrofitable inverter kits
for existing fluorescent ceiling fittings, central monitoring panels,
a PC based Graphic User Interface and walk-by hand-held test/data collection
units. The standard downlighters are of plug-in modular construction,
enabling a first-fix installation in new build.
All versions are based around a high output solid-state light source that
has a life expectancy of more than 60,000 hours - five times that of a
fluorescent lamp. They use 98% less energy over their lifetime than current
fluorescent tube technology, are supported by lithium ion backup batteries
that contain no heavy metals and are managed by embedded intelligence.
Every part of the system, the solid-state light source, the battery, battery
charger, internal temperature and mains supply is continuously monitored.
