Hawthorne,
CA, USA -- Fulham Co., Inc., a leading supplier of lighting
components and electronics for commercial and specialty applications,
today announced that the company's HotSpot Constant Power
Programmable LED Emergency Driver has been included by the
Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) in the 2017 Progress Report.
Being listed in the 2017 IES Progress Report is a distinct honor
since the annual Report showcases technically significant
advancements in the art and science of lighting.
The
driver was selected because of a number of innovations that were
identified by the IES Progress Committee, including:
• The
first constant power LED emergency driver to feature programmable
power output capability;
• The
first emergency driver with an integrated life data recorder to log
time in standby mode; time in emergency mode, emergency events, and
temperature;
• The
first emergency driver to use an integrated test switch bicolor
indicator light (red and green) for status and self-diagnostics; and
• Meeting
the CEC Title 20 requirements for small battery chargers, as well as
the specifications of the European Eco Directive.
"Inclusion
in the annual IES Progress Report is a special honor since selection
is made by the engineering community and is based on superior
engineering, demonstrating that Fulham is truly advancing lighting
technology and innovation," said Russ Sharer, Vice President of
Global Marketing for Fulham. "At Fulham we listen to our
customers, and our R&D team is committed to developing products
with functionality that addresses their needs and advances the state
of illumination."
Fulham
first introduced Constant Power Emergency LED drivers in 2016 with a
series of cULus-classified models that quickly gained in popularity
due to their ease of installation and compliance with local emergency
lighting standards. The new programmable model is designed for
luminaire manufacturers looking to offer emergency capability. It
uses LiFePO4 batteries to deliver a minimum of 90 minutes of power in
the event of an outage, and can be programmed for lower light output
to extend emergency run times.
The
HotSpot Constant Power Programmable LED Emergency Driver is an
example of Fulham's growing line of clever, programmable lighting
products. Programmability allows a luminaire manufacturer to stock a
single driver that can be customized for different applications. For
example, the HotSpot driver uses a default setting for the battery to
deliver maximum output for 90 minutes, e.g. a 10W battery delivers
10W of output. It also can be programmed to extend run time, such as
programming a 10W battery to run at 5W to double emergency
illumination time. This means the same HotSpot device can be used in
a commercial space where regulations require 90 minutes of egress
lighting, or in a high-rise building that may require longer
emergency illumination times.
In
addition to Title 20, the HotSpot Constant Power Programmable LED
Emergency Driver complies with international safety regulations,
including cULus, CE and ENEC. All HotSpot LED emergency drivers come
with Fulham's 5-year warranty.
