Use Case Ideas: How, Where & Why!

Stairwells during load-shedding: Install in apartment or office stairwells to keep escape routes lit; it runs on battery backup for up to 150 minutes when power fails.

 

Office corridors and lobbies: Replace T8 tubes in corridors and reception areas to maintain bright 6000K daylight lighting during outages, improving wayfinding and safety for staff and visitors.

 

Retail aisles and stockrooms: Fit above aisles and back-of-house stockrooms to prevent dark spots during load-shedding so staff can restock, count inventory, and assist customers safely.

 

Basement parking and garages: Install along parking bays and in home garages for dependable illumination when mains fail, helping drivers navigate and residents access storage safely.

 

Classrooms and exam halls: Use in classrooms and examination venues to keep lessons uninterrupted and reading surfaces evenly lit during power cuts, reducing glare and eye strain.

Installation Guidance, Tips & Tricks

Confirm Indoor Placement: Install the IP20-rated tube indoors only, such as stairwells or offices, and avoid locations that are unsuitable for indoor-rated lighting.

 

Use Correct 230 VAC: Ensure the installation matches the specified 230 VAC rating before powering on to avoid improper operation.

 

Charge Before Emergency Use: Allow the rechargeable lithium-ion battery to charge on mains power before relying on up to 150 minutes of emergency lighting.

 

Test Automatic Battery Backup: Turn off the power to confirm it operates like a normal T8 tube, then automatically switches to battery backup, and restore power afterwards.

 

Handle And Clean Carefully: Handle the durable metal and PVC casing carefully, and clean gently when cool to maintain appearance without stressing components.
