---

The LP500 low-profile fluorescent emergency ballast works in conjunction with a low-profile or standard-size AC ballast to convert new or existing standard T5 fluorescent fixtures into unobtrusive emergency lighting. The emergency ballast consists of a high-temperature nickel-cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry in one compact case. The LP500 can be used with one 14-28 W T5 fluorescent lamp and is compatible with most electronic and dimming AC ballasts. If used in an emergency-only fixture, no AC ballast is necessary.

 

The LP500 is suitable for indoor locations. It is not suitable for air handling heated air outlets or for wet, damp or hazardous locations. For information about specific lamp and ballast compatibility, please call the factory. Recommended applications include: emergency lighting for pendant, cove, recessed indirect/direct, surface-mount and architectural lighting commonly used in office, hospitality, health care, retail and educational facilities.

When AC power fails, the LP500 immediately switches to the emergency mode, operating one lamp at a reduced lumen output for a minimum of 90 minutes. When AC power is restored, the emergency ballast automatically returns to the charging mode and, using a patented circuit, delays AC ballast operation for five seconds to prevent false-tripping of AC ballast end-of-life shutdown circuits.
