Kosnic Lighting | UEM for Class III Luminaires

Kosnic Lighting has launched a new Universal Emergency Module (UEM), suitable for all Class III luminaires with integrated LEDs and separate LED drivers, irrespective of manufacturer brand.

The innovative product uses Kosnic-developed Adaptive Current Control (ACC) to adjust the DC voltage output within the moduleโ€™s limits to the appropriate level for the luminaire. It then adjusts the current to limit the power to a maximum of 3W to ensure operation time of three hours, as specified by BS 5266.

The UEMโ€™s Li-ion battery discharge time remains constant regardless of the choice of LED luminaire, making it an extremely versatile solution that annuls the need for brand-specific emergency modules. Additionally, its compact size means that it offers the flexibility of installing it within a luminaire or within the ceiling void.

โ€œWith this new step in UEM technology the installer no longer needs to visit a site and confirm the brand of luminaire before purchasing an emergency module: with the Kosnic UEM they know that it will work before they get on-site, so they only need to carry one solution,โ€ says WenTao Kuang, Managing Director of Kosnic Lighting.

Jeremy Turner, Managing Director of FAB Controls, who has reviewed the product said: โ€œThe UEMโ€™s automatic voltage/current configuration is a very impressive feature that solves the problem of matching the fitting to the emergency control gear. Add to that the Lithium-ion battery packs for extended operational-life and you end up with a very solid product that does exactly what it says on the tin.โ€

For LED luminaires that use a DC jack โ€“ often found on LED panels and edge-lit downlights โ€“ a three-way connector is provided for easy installation. For those without a DC jack, the UEM can be easily connected between the driver and LED module via a junction box.
