Eaton has launched a range of exit sign luminaires. They provide commercial buildings with a way to highlight evacuation routes without compromising interior aesthetics, the makers say.
The power management product company describes the CrystalWay range as a ‘one box’ solution, supplied with a choice of two pictogram heights, 100mm and 150mm, both uniformly illuminated by LED luminaires. For a range of installation options, the devices offer double-sided and single-sided signage, with accessories enabling ceiling suspended and wall mounting. Comprising self-contained and central battery system options, the luminaires suit a range of differently-sized sites, from offices to airports, it is claimed.
Jean-Luc Scheer, emergency lighting product line manager at Eaton, said: “Putting in place the necessary planning and equipment to prepare for an emergency evacuation is one of the most important roles that a building owner or manager can fulfil. At Eaton, we want to make that process as simple as possible and that is why we have designed our new CrystalWay range for easy integration into a building. By taking into account aesthetic, ergonomic and technical considerations, we have created a range that will appeal to end users, architects, facilities managers and installers, no matter what size of building they are responsible for.”
The products have been put through an eco-design process to meet environmental standards and the self-contained models come with a cadmium-free Li-Ion battery. The CrystalWay range is compliant with local regulations including BS EN 60598-1 and BS EN 1838.
The device come with minimal housing, a simplified junction box and range of mounting options. For use in light or dark rooms, the self-contained variants also offer configurable levels of illumination, from 50 to 500 cd/m2.
