EM08-HMB/170DC LED Emergency Driver

8 W emergency driver for 170 V DC LED arrays.

Runs the LED array at 8 W for 90 minutes when the AC fails, and holds that output to the end instead of dimming as the battery drains. Universal 100–347 V AC input: one catalog number for every building voltage. Installs at the factory or in the field, with a test switch and status light.
