Emergency Lamps

More safety in case of power failure

In case of power failure, LED battery luminaires from IVT and Staudte Hirsch equipped with the emergency light function become reliable emergency and safety illumination in rooms, corridors and staircases, especially in areas without windows or emergency power supply.

The emergency light function works on the standby principle: if the battery lamp is in the charging cradle during a power failure, it switches on automatically. The switching time is approx. 1 second. Due to the high-quality lithium batteries, a runtime of at least 4 hours is achieved at full power level.

 

Things to know | FAQ

How likely is a total power failure?

How likely is a total power failure?
What is the best way to prepare for it?

Currently, the probability of a widespread collapse of the power grid in Germany is classified as very low - but it is also advisable to be prepared for a blackout or a regional brownout, which may only last a few hours – for example, by having rechargeable battery lamps with a switchable emergency light function and battery-operated flashlights ready to hand.

What is the difference between blackout and brownout?

+

When do we speak of a blackout and when do we speak of a brownout?

In recent months, there has been more frequent talk of blackouts and brownouts in connection with a possible power outage or a short-term power cut in Germany. But what does this actually mean?

Blackout - widespread collapse of the power grid
A blackout is defined as a widespread collapse of the European transmission grid, something that has not happened since the Second World War. It could theoretically occur if the European transmission grid is confronted with several major disruptions at the same time - for example, due to a massive storm event that causes major damage to the grid. However, experts consider these large-scale power outages to be highly unlikely. What could theoretically become necessary, however, is a so-called brownout.
 
Brownout - controlled shutdown of the electricity grid
Brownout - or controlled load disconnection - refers to the targeted disconnection of individual regions and areas in order to save electricity and thus keep the grid stable. This has not happened in Germany since the Second World War and is considered a last resort by electricity grid operators when electricity demand can no longer be fully covered. Due to the tense situation on the electricity market, the problems of the nuclear power plants in France and the uncertainty of natural gas supplies, such brownouts have become somewhat more likely, but according to the grid operators, the risk is still rather low.

Are rechargeable lamps more environmentally friendly than lamps with batteries?

+

Are rechargeable batteries more environmentally friendly than disposable batteries?

Hand lamps with rechargeable batteries are much more environmentally friendly than mobile lights with disposable batteries.
Depending on the model and selected light mode, IVT and Staudte Hirsch work lights, hand lamps and hand lamps provide reliable light for between 4 and 35 hours.
 
Advantages of rechargeable battery technology – sustainability
  • Depending on the design, rechargeable batteries can be charged several hundred to a thousand times
  • Li-ion batteries can be recycled economically, disposable batteries cannot
  • The production of batteries requires between 40 and 500 times more energy than they release during use
  • According to the VDE, a battery charger has an efficiency of 90 to 95%

How does the emergency lighting function work?

+
The emergency light function works according to the standby circuit principle.
If the battery-powered light is in the charging cradle during a power failure and this is connected to the mains, the battery-powered light switches on automatically in the event of a power failure. The switchover time is approx. 1 second.


Procedure: To activate the emergency lighting function on the IVT and Staudte Hirsch battery-powered lights

 
Emergency lamps: Simulation of the emergency light function in the event of a power failure, step 1 Step 1
Connect the charging cradle or charging/wall bracket to the power supply unit and the power supply unit to the power supply.
Emergency lamps: Simulation of the emergency light function in the event of a power failure, step 2 Step 2
Switch the light on. For the SH-5.100, SH-5.300 and PL-850 models, you can select the mode.
Emergency lamps: Simulation of the emergency light function in the event of a power failure, step 3 Step 3
Place the light in the charging cradle. The light goes out.
Emergency lamps: Simulation of the emergency light function in the event of a power failure, step 4 Step 4
Simulate a power failure by unplugging the mains adapter from the socket – the light switches on automatically in the selected mode or at the brightest brightness level.

Our tip: Always mount the emergency lights on the wall so that they are within easy reach
For the IVT PL-850 and PL-830 lights, the charging bracket is suitable for wall mounting. A sturdy metal wall bracket is available as an optional accessory for all other battery-powered lights.

What else can I use the battery-powered lights for?

+
Emergency lamps: Use as a work light
All IVT and Staudte Hirsch rechargeable lights are primarily designed as robust and versatile work lights and hand lamps. Thanks to their IP protection class (IP 44 to IP 67), they are suitable for indoor and outdoor use as powerful LED work lights.  The LED lamps can also be used indoors and outdoors as useful searchlights or reliable companions in the dark and for many leisure activities.


Emergency lamps: Use as a warning light
In addition, all battery-powered lights are equipped with a flashing function, i.e. the Staudte Hirsch work light SH-5.100, the IVT LED work light PL-850 and the LED work light PL-828 can also be used as a warning and signal light when an orange diffusing lens is fitted.
