T5 LED conversion kits for central and self-contained battery systems

What is central battery system?

A Central Battery System (CBS) is a backup power system that supplies emergency lighting and critical electrical loads in case of a mains power failure. It consists of a centrally located battery bank that distributes power to multiple connected emergency lights or essential equipment. With the advantages of centralized maintenance, longer battery life, cost-effective for large installations, and flexible monitoring and control...etc., it is widely used in emergency lighting in commercial buildings, industrial sites, transportation hubs, and other fire safety compliances in high-rise buildings.

What is self-contained battery system?

Self-contained battery system is an independent power storage system which is rechargeable, portable, function separately, and provide backup power. With the advantages of easy installation and maintenance, flexible placement, low energy consumption, it is widely used in hospital, homes, buildings…etc., especially on continuous lightning for emergency applications. This contrasts with a Central Battery System, where a single centralized battery bank powers multiple lights.

Central and self-contained battery systems for emergency lighting boxes

Both central and self-contained battery systems are very usual for emergency lighting box, and both Self-Contained and Central Battery System emergency light boxes can contain T5 fluorescent lights which are common in T5 136mm fluorescent, T5 212mm fluorescent, and T5 288mm fluorescent. 

Commonly Use of T5 Fluorescent Tubes in Emergency Lighting:

• Self-Contained Systems：Some older or existing emergency lighting units use T5 fluorescent 136mm, 212mm, 288mm tubes with a built-in battery to provide illumination during a power failure.


• Central Battery Systems：These can also power T5 fluorescent 136mm, 212mm, 288mm emergency lights.

Due to the regulatory changes, there are many regions including European Union and California are phasing out fluorescent lights due to mercury content and energy inefficiency.

Upgrading emergency light box from T5 fluorescent tubes to LED technology offers significant benefits, including improved energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and reduced maintenance.

Here are some recommended LED solutions to replace T5 fluorescent emergency lights:

Alternatives to T5 Fluorescent Emergency Lighting

• LED emergency light boxes： Direct replacements for T5-based fluorescent emergency light box.


• LED Retrofit kit：Upgrade existing T5 fluorescent emergency lights to LED without replacing the entire fixture.
  • T5 LED electronic compatible light source
  • T5 LED retrofit kit for central battery system
  • T5 LED retrofit kit for central battery system

Benson Energy Saving Technology is the retrofitting LED pioneer in T5 fluorescent tubes, and we designed the T5 LED tubes that are compatible with electronic ballasts that can easily replace all T5 fluorescent tubes in the Emergency lighting with just plug and play.

Benson Saving Technology has T5 short LED tubes with all short standard size of 136mm, 212mm, 288mm, and 517mm are the best solution for emergency lights and well developed in the LED conversion kits for both central battery system and self-contained battery system.

Three alternatives to emergency light box conversion kits
Designed and manufactured by Benson Energy Saving Technology

• T5 LED tube Electronic Ballast Compatibility：

  The ECGsmart T5 short LED tube plays an important role in luminaires as it is compatible with electronic ballasts and can directly retrofit existing fluorescent luminaires in all applications. You can directly retrofit it with our LED T5 tube ECGsmart series with plug and play.
  
  Emergency exit light box ECGsmart T5 LED tubes are designed the same dimension as fluorescent T5 tubes in the length of 136mm, 212mm, 288mm, and 517mm.
  ( ※ Please see more information about Benson Energy Saving Technology the ECGsmart T5 LED short tubes：136mm/212mm/288mm/517mm）

• T5 LED retrofit kit for central battery system：

  This general conversion kit contains ECGsmart T5 LED tubes and an external LED driver which is designed for the replacement for T5 fluorescent general lighting unit or central battery system emergency exit light box fixtures. The main benefit of this LED tube conversion kit is the ability to extend the life of the entire emergency exit light box to over 100,000 hours. In the context of sustainability and the circular economy, the T5 LED retrofit kit for central battery system form a basic universal conversion kit that is simple and easy to install.
