Benefits of PoE Emergency Lighting
An emergency lighting system via PoE offers many advantages over a conventional mains voltage supply. Energy efficiency is a major advantage: the luminaire shines longer because the battery is used efficiently. In addition, LED requires less maintenance. As with all other PoE applications, no electrician is required for installation. Emergency lighting components such as signs with illuminated walkers or spotlights for corridors and open areas are easy to implement via plug-and-play with synergies resulting from the use of already installed Ethernet devices and associated data.
Installation costs can be reduced by 80 percent. Regulation requirements of three-hour runtime is easily achieved with 3Ah LiFePO4 batteries. The support of software for self-display and self-testing enables remote monitoring and simplified maintenance. Using open architecture software MQTT, full testing, reporting and preventive maintenance will allow a fully functional stand alone or integrated system. As an easy retrofit solution, the emergency lighting products will deliver an effective, fully compliant system reducing costs of installation, maintenance and operation.
