XEB Series Emergency Ballast, Fluorescent LED Retrofit, 90-Minute Backup

The Exitronix XEB Series Emergency Ballast provides reliable backup power for fluorescent and LED lighting systems, allowing fixtures to operate during power outages without the need for dedicated emergency luminaires. Designed for both new installations and retrofit applications, the XEB Series enables standard lighting fixtures to function as emergency lighting units when connected to compatible lamps and ballasts. In the event of a loss of normal AC power, the XEB Series automatically switches to emergency mode and operates one or more connected lamps for a minimum of 90 minutes. The unit integrates a battery, charger, and inverter circuit into a compact enclosure, providing dependable emergency illumination while maintaining a streamlined installation. The ballast supports a wide range of lamp types, including linear fluorescent, compact fluorescent, and select LED lamps, depending on the specific model. Initial emergency light output varies by model, typically ranging from approximately 300 to 1400 lumens, allowing flexibility for different lighting applications and code requirements. Constructed with a durable steel enclosure, the XEB Series is designed for installation within or on top of lighting fixtures. The unit is UL 924 listed for both factory and field installation and meets National Electrical Code (NEC) and Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) requirements for emergency lighting. The system operates on dual-voltage 120/277VAC input and includes a maintenance-free nickel-cadmium battery with a typical life expectancy of 7-10 years. A test switch and charge indicator are included for easy maintenance and compliance verification. Engineered for reliability and flexibility, the Exitronix XEB Series Emergency Ballast provides a cost-effective solution for upgrading existing lighting fixtures to meet emergency lighting requirements in commercial, industrial, and institutional environments.
