LED Lighting Emergency LED Products The Philips Bodine BSL Driver Family ELI-S-20 Emergency Lighting Micro Inverter ELI-S-100 Dimming Inverter
Philips Bodine emergency LED drivers answer the call for LED Technology From torch lighting to porch lighting, T12 to T5 HO, filament to LED, technology evolves. So do we. LED technology is a new frontier. For most in the lighting industry there is a very real learning curve as we explore the intricacies, applications, limitations and potential of this amazing light source. Despite the curve, use of LED lighting for general lighting purposes is growing. As with other types of lighting, LED lighting must meet the life safety code requirements for emergency illumination. LED fixtures serving as emergency units must, therefore, provide at least 90 minutes of emergency lighting. Philips Bodine emergency LED drivers and emergency lighting inverters allow these fixtures to meet or exceed code. As with other types of lighting, LED lighting must meet the life safety code requirements for emergency illumination. 2 LED brochure
emergency lighting in LED applications. Terminology Array: A configuration of one or more (usually many more) LEDs connected to the same power source. Emergency LED Driver: A device that uses electronic circuitry to convert energy stored in a battery into the DC voltage and current necessary to drive the LED load within the parameters established by life safety codes. Integral-Base Lamp: A lamp in which the driver is built into the base. Because the lamp driver is built into the base, an emergency LED driver cannot be wired in between it and the lamp/led/led array. A unit with an integral base must, therefore, be driven in emergency mode by an inverter product, such as the Philips Bodine ELI- S-20 Emergency Lighting Micro Inverter. LEDs in Parallel: In parallel devices, all of the (+) terminals are connected and all of the (-) terminals are connected. All devices have the same voltage across them and draw as much current as their internal resistance allows. If all the devices are exactly the same, the current through each will be equal and the total current draw from the power supply will be that individual current multiplied by the number of devices or parallel legs connected. When LEDs are wired in parallel, each LED or group of LEDs will have the same voltage demand from the driver and draw an equal amount of current. LEDs in a Series: The (+) terminal of one LED is connected to the (-) terminal of the next. When LEDs are wired in series, the voltage necessary to run them is the sum of the individual LED voltage drop and the current is the same in all LEDs. LED: Light-emitting diode. A semiconductor device (diode) that emits visible light when electricity is applied. LED Driver: A device that converts line voltage into the DC voltage and current necessary to drive the LED load. Light Engine: A configuration of LEDs, often series and parallel, that cannot be divided by changing the wiring between the LEDs. Thus, a power source drives the whole unit or nothing at all.

Choosing the Best Emergency LED Driver Selecting Emergency Drivers: OEM Solutions for Factory Installation Although we recommend that you send us your fixture or request a sample driver from us to test in your fixture, there are two critical pieces of information that will help you select the best emergency LED driver for your project. The leader in emergency lighting technology delivers again with emergency LED drivers. LED Array Voltage. What s the LED array voltage you re using? For best results, this voltage should be in the midrange of the output voltage for our products. For example, the Philips Bodine BSL23C has an output range of 3.0 to 20 VDC. If your LED array voltage is around 12.0 VDC, BSL23C could be a good option. If your array voltage is 18 VDC, however, the match would be less ideal, though it still may work. Philips Emergency Lighting offers emergency drivers for LED lighting applications. These drivers permit LED fixtures to serve as code-compliant emergency lighting units. Wiring Specifics. How are the LEDs wired? Are the LEDs in a series or parallel? Is the wiring accessible? When LEDs are wired in series, the voltage necessary to run them is the sum of the individual LED voltage drop and the current is the same in all LEDs. If they re wired in parallel, each LED or group of LEDs will have the same voltage demand from the driver and each will draw an equal amount of current. Thus, the summed currents in the parallel configuration may quickly exceed our capability or result in dramatically lower lumen output than expected. In terms of wiring accessibility, wiring that is accessible gives you the option of connecting as few or as many LEDs as appropriate to the emergency driver. 4 LED brochure

UL Listed for Factory or Field Installation. ELI-S-20 Emergency Lighting Micro Inverter The Philips Bodine 25W ELI-S-20 emergency lighting micro inverter transforms LED and fluorescent fixtures into code-compliant emergency lighting. ELI-S-20 includes auto select (120/277 VAC) to reduce wiring errors. With the convenient auto select, ELI-S-20 automatically detects input voltage and sets the output voltage accordingly. It is the ideal emergency backup for the Edison-base (screw-base) LED lamps that are commonly replacing CFLs in retrofit applications and is a superior choice for office, retail, hospitality and other similar spaces. ELI-S-20 allows fixtures to be on, off, switched or dimmed. It supports 100% of AC rated output throughout its 90-minute runtime so fixtures operate at full brightness during emergency operation. The device provides power to the input side of the fixture, including the ballast, and is designed for use with indoor applications. The ELI-S-20 features an LED-friendly sinusoidal (sine) waveform rather than square waveform output. Sinusoidal waveform is characterized by very low harmonic distortion and by clean power similar to that produced by utility-supplied electricity, making the ELI-S-20 well suited for even the most sensitive LED lighting. The micro inverter is UL Listed (25W) and (20W) unit equipment and designed for new and retrofit lighting projects. Product Highlights Works with LED and fluorescent fixtures up to 25W Is unit equipment Supplies 90 minutes of emergency illumination at full brightness Provides power to the input side of connected lighting loads Ideal for but not limited to screw-base LED lamps Compatible with Philips 22W TLED linear LED lamps Suitable for indoor, dry and damp applications Features fused output load connections AC Input Power Rating: 9.5W; output voltage 120/277 VAC (auto select), 60 Hz Dimensions: 16.6 x 2.8 x 2.85 Remote mounting distance: 250 feet maximum Warranty: 5 years (not pro-rata) UL Listed for 25W / for 20W Model Wattage Feature ELI-S-20 25 For LED and fluorescent lamps When an emergency LED driver cannot be used, line voltage inverters, such as ELI-S-20 and ELI-S-100, may be the best solution. 6 LED brochure
UL Listed for Field Installation. ELI-S-100 Emergency Lighting Inverter The ELI-S-100 provides emergency output power of 100W maximum and supports the lighting load for a minimum of 90 minutes. While the ELI-S-100 works with both fluorescent and LED lighting, it offers two important features for LED applications: dimming capabilities and sinusoidal output. Dimming in LED Applications ELI-S-100 s dimming feature delivers cost-savings, flexibility and control in LED applications. The dimming capability allows a higher power fixture to operate at a dimmed 100W maximum emergency-mode lighting level, eliminating reliance on a high power inverter to run the fixture. Alternately, ELI-S-100 allows a string of multiple fixtures to be driven in emergency mode at a combined 100W maximum. For example, four100w LED fixtures may be connected to one ELI-S-100 and dimmed for emergency operation to 20% of normal power, with each LED fixture supplying 20W of output power (20W x 4 = 80W).* *Note dimming drivers are less efficient at reduced power. This inefficiency must be accounted for in the design. Two models are available: ELI-S-100-120V and ELI-S-100-277V. Product Highlights Compatible with LED and fluorescent fixtures Provides emergency output power of 100W maximum Features sinusoidal output Dimming compatible with 0-10V systems The ELI-S-100 provides a dimming control output of 2-10 volts, and the emergency-mode dimming voltage is field-settable in five steps to provide nominally 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% or 100%. The dimming feature requires a dimming AC driver. Sinusoidal Output The ELI-S-100 features an LED-friendly sinusoidal (sine) waveform rather than square waveform output. Sinusoidal waveform is characterized by very low harmonic distortion and by clean power similar to that produced by utility-supplied electricity. May be connected to one or multiple fixtures Supports emergency lighting for a minimum of 90 minutes Includes fused output load connections Two versions available: 120V model and 277V model Remote mounting distance: 250 ft. Temperature rating: 32 F to 104 F (0 C to 40 C) Dimensions: 12.562 x 9.812 x 4.675 (319 mm x 249 mm x 119 mm) Weight: 25 lbs. (11.34 kg) with batteries installed Warranty: Unit, 5 years; Battery, 3 years +7 years pro-rated UL Listed/ Designed for field installation Model Wattage Feature ELI-S-100 100 Offers LED dimming capabilities LED brochure 7
Proper installation, of course, is critical to emergency operation. Emergency LED Driver Installation Note: Emergency LED drivers are UL Recognized and must be factory installed with one exception. The BSL310 may be field installed when paired with the Philips EvoKit LED retrofit. The installation of Philips Bodine emergency LED drivers is similar to that of fluorescent emergency ballasts. Depending upon the emergency LED driver selected and fixture type, the emergency driver may be installed inside, on top of or remote from the fixture. When an emergency LED driver cannot be used, line voltage inverters may be the best solution. As with Philips Bodine fluorescent emergency ballasts, Philips Bodine emergency LED drivers do not affect normal fixture operation and may be used with a switched or unswitched fixture. If a switched fixture is employed, an unswitched hot lead must be connected to the emergency driver. In either case, the emergency driver must be fed from the same branch circuit as the AC driver. Please see the product specification and instruction sheets for more information. Proper installation, of course, is critical to emergency operation. However, regular code-compliant testing and maintenance must also be done and are essential to any life safety program. 2014 Philips Emergency Lighting All rights reserved.
