Emergency lighting is a vital part of every facility’s life safety program. Local, state and national building codes such as the NFPA®, Life Safety Code® and National Electrical Code®, require reliable emergency illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes in all commercial, industrial and institutional buildings in the United States. Philips Bodine products have helped give companies, facility managers, contractors, architects, specifiers and lighting designers the peace of mind that their buildings' pathways are well lit during an emergency for over half a century.

An electrical ballast or driver is a device intended to limit the amount of current in an electric circuit.

 

A familiar and widely used example is the inductive ballast used in fluorescent lamps, to limit the current through the tube, which would otherwise rise to destructive levels due to the tube's negative resistance characteristic.

 

Emergency Lighting is now selling programable LED drivers that will allow your LED lighting to be dimmable. When your driver goes out let us know the milliamps of the driver and we can program the LED to the exact milliamps.
