LED driver takes away the headache of emergency lighting

HotSpot Plus is one single case unit with a maximum 45W dimmable LED driver integrated with cable-clamp, loop-in/loop-out connectors for mains input and LED output connectors to the luminaire.

The compact unit has an integrated, replaceable battery with 12 hour recharge and a discharge capacity to power a selectable 3W/180minutes or 6W/90minutes. The LED driver output is programmable with a quick and easy to use hand held digital programmer. This allows selection of the required output current in 1mA increments from 250-1,400mA. For lighting manufacturers and electrical wholesalers this means that just one single product need be carried in stock to cover a vast number of emergency LED requirements which will be compatible with an extensive array of LED luminaires.

In the event of a power outage, the unswitched/ permanent live connection to the HotSpot Plus will detect the emergency and will automatically switch-over to the integrated battery and emergency driver. Using a simple selector switch on the HotSpot Plus, you can pre-set the required emergency output power up to 6W for 1.5 hours, the default being set at 3W output for three hours.

Automatic self-test functionality is also included, this fully complying with the European standards for monthly and annual test requirements.

Each HotSpot Plus comes with a dual colour, green and red LED status indicator with integrated test-switch. Static green indication will show healthy and correct operation whilst the static red indication alerts of a problem. This circular indicator/test switch is supplied on a lead and comes with mounting rings to enable quick and easy installation.

Additional advanced features such as programmable dimming curve, NTC input (temperature protection) and built-in 'black-box' for collection of usage data (hours operated and at what temperature for example) are also included as standard.

The HotSpot Plus is a simple to use compact unit, easy to set-up and quick to install whilst powerful and feature-packed, providing a valuable all-in-one emergency LED solution. It carries a five year warranty (three years battery warranty) and is available for sampling now.
