When the power goes out, the last thing you’d want is for the nearest exit to be hard to find. Exit access corridors, stairways, and other egress routes become challenging to navigate without adequate lighting.
In commercial, healthcare, industrial, educational, and public-assembly facilities, reliable emergency lighting is important to keep people safe. Trystar lighting inverters provide dependable illumination during power loss, with proven performance and compliance with strict safety standards.
CORE Support Systems proudly supplies Trystar models across California and Oregon, helping facilities find the right emergency power solution for their needs.
How Emergency Lighting Inverters Support Building Safety
An emergency lighting inverter provides backup power to designated emergency lighting circuits when normal power is lost. Lighting inverters play a role in building safety through:
- Automatic backup power: Supplies power to designated lighting loads when utility power goes out.
- Emergency egress visibility: Keeps corridors, stairwells, exit routes, and other required areas lit.
- Centralized power management: Delivers backup power to multiple lighting fixtures from one system.
- Lighting compatibility: Works with compatible fixtures when matched to the connected load.
An inverter covers the emergency lighting portion of a building’s safety plan, but note that it doesn’t replace exit signs, fire alarms, or other required emergency systems.
Trystar Lighting Inverters Well-Suited for Emergency Power Systems
Trystar lighting inverters come in several models to meet different emergency lighting and power requirements.
EON Model EL3: High-Capacity Emergency Lighting
The EON EL3 is designed for higher-demand emergency lighting applications, with 10 kW to 55 kW three-phase sizes. It’s LED-compatible and well suited for venues, healthcare and university facilities, manufacturing plants, and other locations with large occupant loads.
UltraLITE Model ELU: Versatile Emergency Lighting Support
The UltraLITE ELU offers 1.5 kW to 14 kW of single-phase backup power for a wide range of emergency lighting applications. It provides voltage regulation and works with various fixture types, including LED lighting. Available are also seismic-rated models for applications with additional installation requirements.
eLITE Model ELN: Space-Saving Emergency Power
If you’re looking for a compact option for smaller emergency lighting loads, eLITE ELN is the way to go, available from 550 W to 1.5 kW single-phase sizes. Its front-access design allows for wall- or floor-mounted installation, making it easier to fit into limited spaces. The power system supplies 90 minutes of regulated backup power for emergency egress lighting and other critical loads.
eLITE Model ELE: Compact Design With Flexible Power Capacity
The eLITE ELE, offering 5.3 kW to 18 kW of single-phase emergency power, has stackable, modular battery cabinets that can be configured around tight floor space requirements. The ELE is a practical choice when a facility needs more capacity without a large battery cabinet footprint.
UltraLITE Model ELC: Advanced Power Conditioning for Critical Lighting
The UltraLITE ELC combines emergency backup power with tight voltage regulation, extended brownout protection, and power conditioning. Available in 600 W to 2 kW single-phase sizes, it can maintain consistent output to emergency lighting fixtures when power conditions fluctuate.
What to Consider Before Selecting a Lighting Inverter
Selecting the right lighting inverter depends on the building, connected loads, and installation requirements. Before specifying a system, consider:
- Lighting load: Confirm your connected load and required capacity.
- Backup duration: Determine your required runtime and battery performance.
- Electrical system: Check whether you’ll need single-phase or three-phase power.
- Fixture compatibility: Must match your existing fixtures and LED drivers.
- Installation: How much available space you have, and seismic requirements.
- Future needs: Account for monitoring, testing, maintenance, and expansion.
Qualified electrical professionals should verify load calculations, system configuration, applicable codes, and product listings before final specification.
