Digital Lumens adds emergency lighting to LED luminaires and control suite

Digital Lumens has announced emergency-lighting capabilities for its LED-based high-bay fixtures and the LightRules lighting- and energy-management software platform. The battery-power and software elements of the emergency offering means that companies will not have to install dedicated emergency lighting systems to meet NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) requirements. Digital Lumens is best known for its solid-state lighting (SSL) products that feature integral wireless network support and that target applications in high-bay installation in factories and warehouses. The company entered the lighting market as a startup in 2010 promising 90% energy savings based on efficient LED sources and sensor-based LED lighting controls that can dim lights when no workers are present — a regular occurrence in warehouse and other industrial businesses.
