Emergency lines get scrutinized more than any other luminaires: spacing tables must land, batteries can’t drift off spec, and test evidence has to survive audits. Vimar’s range is built for that reality—blade signs, bulkheads, downlight pods, twinspots, and central-battery variants share predictable mechanics, honest battery data, and monitoring that doesn’t fight your BMS.
The family covers recessed pods for clean ceilings (open-area and corridor optics), IP65 bulkheads for stair cores and plant areas, slim blade signs with interchangeable legends, surface downlights for fast retrofits, twinspots for high-risk tasks, and gear-tray kits for existing housings. Output classes typically 100–500 lm EM flux with 1 h and 3 h autonomy options; optics are certified for escape-route and anti-panic distributions with spacing tables per EN 1838 included in the datasheets. Project teams specify vimar emergency luminaires when they want maintained/non-maintained variants on the same cutout and a one-page legend of accessories that actually ship.
Choose LiFePO₄ for long calendar life, fast recharge, and lower self-heating; NiMH remains useful in cold spaces with proven behaviour around +5 °C. Autotest SKUs execute functional (weekly) and duration (quarterly/annual) cycles with LED status and logged results; DALI-2 Part 202 gear exposes events and battery metrics to the head-end. Use vimar emergency lighting with labelled charge times (often ≤ 24 h to full) and replaceable packs so three-year refreshes don’t force a full luminaire swap.
Open-area lenses target uniform 0.5 lx on the floor; corridor lenses stretch down-beam to reduce fixture count; high-risk task heads elevate minimums where machinery runs. Delivered EM lumens are stated at rated temperature after battery sag, not driver nameplate. On drawings that call out vimar led emergency lights, freeze mounting height, S/H ratio, and reflectance assumptions—acceptance testing will mirror those inputs.
Stair cores and wash areas need IP65 and IK08 with sealed cable entries; hospitals want smooth bezels and plastics that tolerate disinfectants; warehouses ask for UV-stable bodies that don’t chalk. Thermal design matters: tc marks are printed on gear trays, and LiFePO₄ charge windows are honoured to protect cycle life. Facilities stick with vimar safety luminaires where ingress kits, detergents list, and impact data live on the same sheet as the spacing table.
Self-contained units ship with hot-plug battery packs, brownout ride-through, and polarity-safe connectors; central-battery versions accept 216/230 V DC or 24/48 V DC depending on plant. Keep mains and SELV segregated in canopies, bond shields 360° at gland plates near VFDs, and size conductors for voltage drop at end-of-life battery voltage. Panel notes that reference vimar battery backup luminaires should lock breaker curves, monitored feeds, and permitted cable lengths to avoid nuisance resets after duration tests.
Pictograms follow ISO 7010; legend kits support 16–32 m viewing distances with double-sided options for corridors. Mounting: recessed, surface, suspended, and flag; quick-change arrows simplify tenant churn. When schedules request vimar exit lighting, pair each sign with its legend code and suspension kit so site crews don’t improvise at handover.
DALI-2 emergency channels allow scheduled tests, central logging, and alarm routing; dry-contact aggregators exist where BMS points are scarce. Labels carry next-test and battery-replacement dates; QR codes link to device logs. In campuses that standardise on vimar emergency lighting systems, acceptance becomes a data export rather than a clipboard walk.
Supply 220–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (self-contained); central-battery SKUs per system voltage. Compliance: EN 60598-2-22 (EM luminaires), EN 1838 (illuminance/spacing), EN 62034 (automatic test), EN/IEC 62386-202 (DALI-2 emergency). Ingress IP20, IP42, IP65 as listed; impact IK07/08 on bulkheads. Batteries: LiFePO₄/NiMH with stated recharge and design life; ambient usually −10…+40/45 °C. Wiring 0.5…2.5 mm²; strip 8–10 mm; torque per label.
• Offices/hospitality: recessed pods and blade signs with DALI-2 logs handed to FM.
• Education/healthcare: IP65 bulkheads in stair cores; antimicrobial bezels where specified.
• Logistics/plant: twinspots and IP65 lines near loading docks; central-battery on generator-protected circuits.
All forms align with Vimar frames, channels, and driver accessories, so legends, glands, and labels follow the same part map as your general lighting.
We start with spacing and testing, not cartons. Our team builds a matrix of optics, mounting heights, autonomy, chemistries, and monitoring, then locks legend codes and accessories per room list. Quotes return quickly by EAN/MPN with reserved stock against your floor order. Deliveries arrive area-kitted—pods or bulkheads with the exact legends, glands, and battery packs—plus prefilled test labels and DALI-2 instance maps. Throughout the rollout you’ll see live lead-time forecasts and dated price files for budget control; trusted accounts can operate on agreed post-payment terms. Before sign-off, we sanity-check your logs and duration results against the spec to keep inspections smooth across France, the Baltics, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
