6 FAQs about Uninterruptible Power Supply for Home Lighting

What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system?

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) solutions are essential to ensure that facilities have enough illumination in the event of any loss of power. UPS systems are widely used to support emergency lighting and other life safety applications including sprinkler systems and evacuation lifts but must comply with BS EN 50171.

What is an emergency lighting ups solution?

Emergency lighting UPS solutions have been engineered specifically to manage high inrush currents and include inverters which can handle 120% of the load requirement for the duration.

What happens if a power supply fails to meet emergency lighting regulations?

Choosing a power supply that fails to meet emergency lighting regulations can result in legal liability, insurance complications, and—most importantly—put lives at risk during an emergency. Another critical consideration involves how each system integrates with building infrastructure.

Can a static inverter be used for emergency lighting?

When specifying a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for Emergency Lighting applications, a Static Inverter will be used to maintain power to lighting for a period of 1 hour or 3 hours (depending on specification - as per EN 50171:2001). BS EN 50171:2001 specifies the requirements for how long emergency lighting is on, how bright it is and more.

How do I choose a backup lighting system?

Review the specs on our UPS systems to find a match for your backup lighting needs. Then, choose from standard lead acid or lithium ion battery power options. With reliable UPS systems powering your emergency lighting systems, you'll be able to navigate outages safely. Learn more about two of our top UPS models for emergency backup lighting.

What is a central battery for emergency lighting?

Central battery for emergency lighting refers to a system where a single, centralised power source—typically a battery bank with a static inverter —supplies emergency power to all emergency luminaires throughout a building. This contrasts with self-contained (or “standalone”) emergency lights, which each have their own internal battery.
