What’s benefit from Emtrons’ 88% efficiency?
A study from BSI EN1838 -2013 // Refer:
When it comes to emergency lighting, efficiency is more than just a number — it directly affects performance, safety, and battery life. At Emtrons, our commitment to engineering excellence ensures that every watt of power is used effectively to deliver reliable illumination when it matters most.
Understanding emergency efficiency
According to EN1838-2013:
Emergency efficiency refers to how much of the power drawn from the battery is converted into usable light.
Chapter 4.2.1 from EN1838
Emtrons Emergency Efficiency: 88%
Typical Competitor Efficiency: 50% or less
The actual comparison will be:
- Let’s compare a real-world example using a 3 hours emergency lighting scenario: (as UK typical requirement)
Despite using less battery power, Emtrons delivers brighter and longer-lasting emergency illumination. In fact, a 3W Emtrons unit outperforms a competitor’s 5W unit because of its superior internal conversion efficiency.
Benefits of HE (Higher efficiency)
- Smaller battery required for the same output → reduces cost and weight
- Less heat generation → better safety and longer component life
- More reliable output during long-duration emergencies
- Lower energy consumption → greener and more sustainable
Conclusion
- When evaluating emergency lighting systems, don’t be misled by input wattage alone. What truly matters is how efficiently that power becomes usable light.
- With Emtrons’ 88% emergency efficiency, you’re guaranteed maximum performance, longer backup time, and reduced operating cost — making it the smart choice for modern buildings.
