UltraLITE Model ELU (1.5kW to 14kW)
Meeting the NFPA 101 and NFPA 111 standards, the UltraLITE Model ELU is considered “Life Safety Equipment.” It is also UL 924 listed as “Emergency Lighting Equipment,” providing the required 90 minutes of emergency backup power, and is 100% compatible with all lighting applications and life safety systems. The voltage regulation and performance characteristics of the Model ELU extend ballast, LED driver, and lamp life, which make this product an advantageous choice over competing lighting inverters.
Whether fed from the AC power source or even while in battery mode, the ELU has a peak overload capability up to 1400% to accommodate inrush current from LED fixtures!
Optional Seismic-Rated Models Available!
The ELU has been shake-table tested and each of our models are offered with an optional seismic rating. These models meet seismic standards which satisfy applicable portions of the California Building Code (CBC 2016) and the International Building Code (IBC 2015). The verification testing required is recognized and accepted throughout the U.S. and many other countries.
