What is an LED emergency driver?

LED lights are one of the most popular luminaries across the world, and of course, there are plenty of reasons behind the popularity. One thing, among the many, for which LED (that is light imitating diodes) are popular is less energy consumption. Most LEDs come fitted with LED drivers – these are called internal LED drivers, and if an LED comes with a driver that is not integrated into the LED light source, then this type of driver is called LED external drivers.

What is an LED Emergency Driver?

The Led Emergency Driver, unlike the LED drivers, is used to convert an ordinary light into a non-maintained emergency light. LED emergency driver monitors and manages the power source for an LED.

While the power mains are on, this driver supplies power to the LED from the mains and keeps charging the battery integrated with it.

Unlike normal LED drivers, these drivers operate off of a battery and supply configured power to the LED fixture in case of a power outage. Generally, these drivers are configured to supply less power to the LED fixture than required.

Less power is supplied to LED fixtures to decrease the consumption of battery charge and increase the duration of time the light will remain illuminated on battery power.

However, the supply of energy is configurable, and some manufacturers offer pre-customized LED emergency drivers based on one`s needs.

With the basics done, let`s dive into details that you should be looking at while selecting LED emergency drivers.
