The U.S. Patented Energy Focus RedCap Battery Backup LED tube offers a solution for simplifying emergency lighting installations. Eliminating the need for bulky, external emergency back-up ballasts, this product combines standard and emergency egress lighting in one tubular LED lamp. As the first UL-Approved, direct-wire (Type B), flicker-free TLED lamp, RedCap only uses 11W and outputs 1560 lumens under normal lighting conditions. In the event of a loss of power, the tube remains illuminated for the code-required 90 minutes.
Growing Need for Emergency Lighting
The demand for emergency lighting is increasing because of several regulatory and environmental factors, including growing uncertainties in sudden natural calamities and the push by government agencies to adopt stronger safety standards.
The Energy Focus RedCap is a high-performance self-ballasted TLED, providing 140lm/W efficacy. The RedCap holds the rechargeable high-temperature batteries, along with charger, discharger and indicator light.
Simple Installation for the REDCAP LED Lamp
Installing the Energy Focus RedCap LED lamp is 3-times faster than installing a traditional emergency ballast backup system, saving you time and money on your installation costs and eliminating unnecessary waste.
Typical LED emergency ballasts are $50 to $150 on top of $20 to $50 per ballast for installation costs. The RedCap LED lamp not only functions as a flicker-free LED tube, but brings significant savings to product and labor costs—up to 70 percent—when compared to other emergency battery backup lighting systems.
How RedCap Works
The Energy Focus RedCap integrates its emergency features into the existing Type B TLED thereby reducing costs and improving market acceptance. Traditional fluorescent systems require an installation process that normally takes over 30 minutes from start to finish.
In addition, the RedCap demands fewer wires for an installer to work with, dramatically reducing product and labor costs, requiring substantially less time to install. This makes replacement and renewal as simple as changing a light bulb.
With the high standards required for emergency lighting products, reviewing compliance is an excellent way to verify product reliability. The Energy Focus RedCap is the first UL-approved emergency integrated TLED lamp on the market today. Paired with the Energy Focus full-coverage five-year warranty, businesses can feel confident the RedCap is a safe and effective emergency lighting solution for their facilities.
