At present, there exists a notable void in the market for intelligent emergency lighting controls. The emergence of the emergency conversion kits with microwave motion sensor represents a novel technological advancement in the realm of emergency lighting solutions.
Litwheat emergency converter provides 3 in 1 integrated emergency driver (microwave occupancy sensors + LED driver + Lithium battery backup) offering an easy and cost-effective method to improve areas in need of emergency lighting, even if they were not initially designed or installed for such purposes.
Convert General Lights into Approved Emergency Lights
In the past, emergency lights remained illuminated 24/7 to comply with life safety codes. Then we used emergency relay panel, emergency power dimmer control and occupancy sensor switch normal lighting and emergency lighting. However, the evolution of emergency lighting controls has ushered in a more efficient era. Now, YW702 and YW701 LED emergency conversion driver can easily convert gerneral lighting fixtures into approved emergency lighting and allow dynamic lighting adjustments. The smart lighting controls enable the emergency lighting to be dimmed as needed relying on human presence detection during regular operating hours through the use of microwave radar motion sensor. In the event of a utility power interruption, maintained emergency lighting can be brought to full brightness for over 90 mins emergency duration time, even over 3 hours. This smart emergency lighting controls not only contributes to energy and cost savings but also ensures adherence to life safety and energy code requirements.
YW702 is emergency conversion module with external battery backup
YW701 is emergency power pack with internal battery backup
Why integrating emergency lighting into the general lighting is ideal for your lighting project?

Self-contained Emergency Lighting with Battery Backup
In addition to our smart emergency converter solutions, we offer an alternative in the form of non-maintained emergency lighting, featuring our emergency driver technology.
Many building codes and safety regulations mandate the installation of emergency lighting systems. Utilizing LITWHEAT emergency driver with battery power supply, the standard lighting seamlessly transforms into approved emergency lighting in the event of a power failure, which contributes significantly to creating a secure environment with less additional luminaire installations. Installing self-contained emergency lighting is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of occupants during unforeseen events or power outages. This type of safety luminaires serves as a reliable source of illumination in critical areas, such as escape routes and emergency exits, allowing for orderly evacuations and preventing panic. Emergency lighting with battery backup not only aids in the timely and efficient evacuation of individuals but also facilitates rescue operations by providing visibility for first responders. Ultimately, it is an essential measure to protect lives, minimize disruptions, and address unexpected situations that may compromise the safety of building occupants.
