The LX006 surface-mounted emergency lighting is intended for wall mounting and is supplied with a pre-fitted legend with an arrow pointing up. The light tests itself periodically, so you can be sure the battery is ready. The housing and diffuser are made from high-quality plastic.
Consult the user guide for a detailed explanation of the various tests.
When first switched on, the battery charges for 24 hours. The light then tests itself by running on battery power for three hours. A two-colour indicator shows its status: steady or flashing green means everything is working, while flashing red means there’s a fault.
Every 28 days, the light automatically runs a short two-minute test. It simulates a power cut and checks that the emergency lighting works on battery power. During the test, the indicator flashes green slowly. If there's a fault, it flashes red.
Every 52 weeks, the light runs a full duration test. It simulates a power cut and runs on battery power for the full time, so you can be sure the battery still lasts long enough. During this test, the indicator flashes green quickly. The battery needs to be fully charged for the test to run.
The light can only be set to maintained (permanent lighting). This means the light is on even when there is no power cut. If the light no longer receives power from the mains, it then stays on for three hours on the battery. Three hours is generally enough time for staff and visitors to leave a building, and it also meets the legal standard.
