The LP600 low-profile emergency ballast works in conjunction with a low-profile or standard size AC ballast to convert new or existing standard or high-output T5 and T8 fluorescent fixtures into unobtrusive emergency lighting. The emergency ballast consists of a high temperature nickel-cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry in one compact case. The LP600 can be used with one 14 - 54 W (2’ - 4’) standard or high-output T5; 17 - 55 W (2 ’- 5’) standard or high-output T8; or 36 - 55 W (4-pin) long compact fluorescent lamp. It is also compatible with most one-, two-, three - and four-lamp electronic, standard, energy-saving and dimming AC ballasts. If used in an emergency-only fixture, no AC ballast is necessary. The LP600 is suitable for indoor and damp locations and for sealed gasketed fixtures, including fixtures rated for wet locations. It is not suitable for air handling heated air outlets or wet or hazardous locations. For information about specific lamp and ballast compatibility, please contact the factory. Recommended applications include: emergency lighting for pendant, cove, recessed indirect/direct, surface-mount and architectural lighting commonly used in office, hospitality, health care, retail and educational facilities.
