Aleddra Announces the First UL924 Certified Self-Testing/Self-Diagnostic Emergency LED Tube Lamps

Aleddra LED Lighting, a lighting technology company headquartered in Seattle, Washington, announced its PRO Series Emergency LED Tubes, the first UL924 certified self-testing/self-diagnostic emergency tubes.

Aleddra is the industry leader in the emergency lighting product segment with over 30 patents in emergency tube design and products for both the T8 and T5 style LED tubes. The NEW PRO Series Emergency Tubes push the technology to a whole new level. The PRO features a patented locking lamp holder that locks the EM tube into the fixture. The locking mechanism fastens the PRO EM tube to the fixture and prevents unauthorized removal of the EM tube. The locking mechanism can be unlocked with a standard electrician tool.

What sets Aleddra's PRO Series Emergency LED Tubes apart from other third-party products? It is the ONLY UL924-certified Self-Testing and Self-Diagnostic Emergency Tube in the market. When the PRO emergency tube is installed and energized, its internal clock starts. From that point, every 30 days it fully automatically performs the 30-second audit test and once a year the 90-minute audit test, all this without human intervention. During the testing, the indicator light will blink slowly. If the tube fails the required test, the LED indicator light will blink at a much faster rate. To meet NFPA Life Safety Code (National Fire Protection Association, NFPA-101) requirements, all the facilities managers need to do is to walk through the facilities and perform a visual inspection. If the indicator of a self-testing EM tube is blinking fast, then the EM tube needs to be replaced. If the indicator light is solid green, log in the record of the visual inspection as "completed and passed".

For other third-party EM tubes, the facility manager will need to schedule the test, monthly and annually. When the test is scheduled, he/she will need to set up a ladder under the fixture, climb the ladder, open the fixture and press the test button and stay there to make sure the emergency tube completes the required test. A few third-party emergency tubes require the person to push the test button to end the test. What a waste of time and money.
