Emergency LED Highbays
Our Emergency LED High Bays combine powerful, energy-efficient illumination with built-in emergency backup to keep your space lit during a mains power failure. Designed for high-ceiling environments such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, sports halls, and large retail areas, these fittings ensure both everyday lighting and safety compliance in one unit.
Available in wattage switchable designs for flexibility, our range includes models with no sensor, PIR sensors, or microwave sensors, as well as standard emergency and self-test emergency versions. This means you can choose the perfect combination of brightness, control, and safety to match your environment’s needs.

FAQ's
A: Emergency LED High Bays operate like standard LED high bays when mains power is available. If the power supply fails, an integrated battery pack activates, providing illumination, usually for up to 3 hours, so that people can exit safely and emergency lighting standards are met.
This built-in function removes the need for separate emergency lighting fixtures in high-ceiling areas, making installation simpler and more cost-effective. Whether you choose standard emergency (manual test) or self-test emergency (automatic system checks), these fittings ensure that essential lighting is always ready when you need it most.
A: Emergency LED High Bays are available with three control options:
- No sensor – The light operates at full brightness whenever it is switched on.
- PIR sensor – Detects movement via body heat, ideal for open spaces with clear sight lines.
- Microwave sensor – Uses radar technology to detect movement through certain obstructions, perfect for racking aisles or machinery areas.
Integrating sensors with emergency high bays allows you to maintain energy efficiency in normal operation while still ensuring immediate light activation in an emergency situation.
A: Wattage switchable emergency LED high bays include built-in controls that let you choose between multiple wattage outputs, depending on your required brightness levels and energy usage goals. This flexibility is especially useful in multi-use spaces where lighting requirements can change, or when retrofitting into existing layouts with varying lux targets.
By selecting the appropriate wattage, you can fine-tune the balance between light output, energy consumption, and running costs, all while retaining the crucial safety benefit of integrated emergency lighting.
