Choosing the right Lighting Inverter

There are many factors to consider before deciding on a lighting inverter. The most important of these is power requirements. For instance, you don't want to plug in a 1000W inverter to a battery bank for a 50W LED bulb. You need something in the neighborhood of 500W to get the job done.

Inverters come in all shapes and sizes, so the choice can be a bit of a minefield. There are several different types, including the modified sine wave, and the aforementioned 500W models. The pricier ones can be hardwired directly to a battery bank. Some even come with their own dedicated circuit breakers. Be sure to check the owner's manual for any special recommendations.

You'll also want to look for products that offer voltage regulation. These are especially useful in areas with multiple floors. A good product will not only give you a jolt of power during blackouts, they can also be a lifesaver when it comes to your home's electronics. Several manufacturers also offer smart chargers that automatically turn off your appliances when you're not using them.

Lastly, don't forget to ask your installer how long they expect the job to take. This is especially true if you're installing an inverter in a home with a low-voltage system, as the electrician will need to work with the proper voltage levels.

Why are lighting Inverters Important?

Emergency lighting inverters provide a critical back-up power source for your lighting systems in the event of a power outage. They also support exit lights and fire alarm systems.

Inverters are electrical devices that convert DC power from a battery into standard AC voltages. Their versatility allows them to be installed either in dispersed locations or centrally.

The latest generation of "smart" inverters make installation and maintenance much easier. Features like self-diagnosis and the ability to test and monitor in the field, simplify the process.

Emergency lighting inverters can be used in a variety of industries. For example, many retail businesses need to ensure that their lighting fixtures have backup power at the point of sale. A centralized inverter can be a great option for larger facilities with multiple lighting fixtures.

Emergency lighting inverters are designed to handle high current, extreme voltage, and poor power conditions. To ensure safe and effective operation, they must meet NFPA codes.

Some inverters are designed to operate at full load, while others are rated for continuous power. In addition, some inverters are designed to deliver seamless transfer.

These units feature a scrolling LCD display that provides eight points of critical system status. It also includes diagnostics for wiring errors, warning signs, and front access to batteries.

ILLUMINATOR E HID/MOTOR

A lighting inverter is the stuff of geeks and geeks alike. The good ones come with a price tag, but the payoff is well worth it. Compared to the myriad of fixtures and cabling required to install a single fixture, a lighting inverter can save you thousands. And the good ones come with a lifetime warranty. That's the best part.

ILLUMINATOR EM

Myers Emergency Power Systems has developed a powerful new line of inverters for emergency lighting applications. The Illuminator EM Lighting Inverter is designed to deliver true sine wave output for all types of facility lighting. It is capable of providing a lightning fast transfer time of two milliseconds, which is faster than the typical eight second generator delay.

This advanced technology is powered by Pure Sine Wave Technology, which provides high efficiencies and enables the inverters to run cool. By operating at 98 percent efficiency, the inverter translates into virtually no impact on heating and cooling needs.

The smallest cabinet available in the industry, the Illuminator EM is a complete system with all lamp sources and fast transfer technology. It can be wall mounted or floor mounted and can support all types of light fixtures. With a range of capacity up to 2800 VA/W, the system is available in a variety of sizes to suit your application. Plus, intelligent front meter panels ensure easy access to NFPA testing.

As an added feature, the IoT Inverter Connect Cloud monitors central inverters and notifies users when critical alarms occur. Designed for large campuses, this advanced solution offers increased overall building safety.

Illuminator IE

A Central Lighting Inverter is a power source for security, electronic, or lighting systems. It can be used in a variety of applications from emergency lighting to energy management. The unit can supply up to 90 minutes of battery backup power to support all kinds of lighting loads, including fluorescent, incandescent, and LED lights. And with a compact design, this power source can easily be installed in any facility.

There are a few different models available. One of the more popular is the Illuminator IE, a UL listed inverter that can provide a dependable output for up to 3 phases and incorporates sealed lead calcium VRLA batteries. This device also features a 2ms fast transfer system and front-access. As a bonus, it performs a monthly test in compliance with NFPA standards.

Other features include a modular cabinet, NEMA Type-1 space-saving design, and IoT Inverter Connect Cloud technology. This system allows for the monitoring and management of data from your inverters, ensuring that the aforementioned "mimbo" is not just a dream.

ILLUMINATOR CIII

The Illuminator CIII Lighting Inverter by Myers Emergency Power Systems is a slick looking three phase unit that is not only compact, but is also a powerhouse. Its most impressive attribute is its use of Pure Sine Wave technology to ensure a smooth and direct output to all lighting sources.

Unlike the typical power plant, this unit is also a cleverly designed NEMA Type-1 space saving design. Other features include a modular cabinet configuration, and a watt-per-dollar efficiencies that are the envy of many larger power plants. As you might imagine, cooling costs are also reduced as a result of this system. This model also comes in an OSHPD (Operating Safety of Humans and Power Delivery) rated version. With a price tag of a mere $7000, this unit is the ultimate backup power solution for larger facilities. Also, a good idea is to keep a qualified electrician on hand to handle installation and battery maintenance. For example, they need to be tested for UL 924 compliance and replaced as required.

The illuminator CIII is not the only three phase inverters on the market today. Myers Emergency Power Systems' line of backup power solutions includes the Hypernova and Supernova families, both of which are brimming with features.
