GU10 LED Emergency Lamp – For Always-On Fittings Only
3 hours of light during a powercut
Product Ref: 56620
£11.50 inc VATThis GU10 emergency lamp is only suitable for fittings that remain switched on during hours of use and should be treated as a supplement to, not a replacement for, compliant emergency lighting.
Design and Style
This GU10 LED lamp is designed for use in fittings that are normally left switched on during hours of occupation, such as stairwells, corridors, or circulation areas. It has a standard GU10 two-pin base and produces a wide 60° beam in warm white 3000K, ensuring practical light for areas that benefit from continuous illumination.
Usage
In normal operation the lamp runs at 4W, delivering efficient warm white light with a Colour Rendering Index of 90. If the mains power fails, the built-in battery automatically powers the lamp in emergency mode at 0.5W, providing light for up to three hours. The internal battery requires around five hours to fully recharge.
Because charging only occurs when the fitting is switched on, using this lamp in areas where lights are frequently turned off is impractical. If the wall switch is turned off, the lamp will enter emergency mode until the battery is discharged. For this reason, it is not suitable for everyday switched fittings such as bedside lamps or lounge downlights.
Key Features
Operates directly on 230V mains with TRIAC dimming compatibility. Emergency function provides 0.5W of light for up to three hours after power failure. Recharge time is approximately five hours. Compact size at 50mm diameter by 53mm height. Warranty period of two years.
Important Note
This lamp is not compliant with BS 5266 or EN emergency lighting standards. It should only be regarded as a supplementary source of light and not a replacement for dedicated emergency fittings. Best used in continuously lit areas where reassurance or additional safety cover is needed, alongside a proper emergency lighting system.
