Espen Technology has launched an emergency driver for Type B TLEDs. Model number VEMB20W Type B Emergency Driver overcomes the challenge of AC lamp input requirements, compared to DC. Since Type B TLEDs are wired directly to line voltage, these TLEDs with an internal driver do not require a fluorescent ballast to convert line voltage to DC current. When no external ballast is available to wire to, an auxiliary supply such as a generator or inverter must be used to provide emergency line power. Espen has developed an emergency solution to overcome this challenge. The VEMB20W is a solution for Type B TLED emergency illumination. At 20W, it illuminates most TLEDs at full brightness. The emergency driver test lead allows the user further piece of mind to ensure the driver is installed and operating correctly. Espen Technology stands behind this product with a five year warranty.
Additional features of the VEMB20W Type B Emergency Driver include 90 minute emergency illumination time, a steel housing with 2-foot conduit, Ni-Cad recharging technology, and a test switch included. The VEMB20W is also UL listed for damp locations, with an operating temperature range of -20 F to 130 F.
