FAQ
What makes the Vanguard 300 different from standard emergency bulkheads?
The Vanguard 300 delivers double the light output at 300 lumens compared to standard 150 lumen models, whilst featuring an exceptional 54,000 hour LED life expectancy for reduced maintenance requirements.
What is the difference between maintained and non-maintained operation?
Maintained operation means the emergency light operates continuously during normal power supply, whilst non-maintained operation means it only activates during mains power failure. The Vanguard 300 can be configured for either mode to suit your specific requirements.
How do I test the emergency function?
The Vanguard 300 features selectable self test or manual test operation. Self test mode automatically conducts periodic testing and monitoring, whilst manual test mode allows you to perform testing as required using standard testing procedures.
What does the IP66 rating mean?
IP66 provides complete protection against dust ingress and protection against powerful water jets from any direction, making the Vanguard 300 suitable for harsh outdoor and industrial environments.
How long will the emergency battery last?
The LiFePO4 battery provides 3 hours of emergency illumination and is backed by a 5-year battery warranty, significantly longer than traditional battery technologies.
What is the light output during emergency mode?
The Vanguard 300 maintains its full 300 lumen output during both normal and emergency operation, ensuring consistent high-level illumination for effective escape route lighting in larger areas.
Is the higher power consumption worth the increased light output?
Yes, the Vanguard 300 delivers double the light output (300lm vs 150lm) for only a modest increase in power consumption (4.8W vs 3W), providing excellent efficiency for applications requiring higher illumination levels.
What warranty coverage is provided?
The Vanguard 300 comes with a comprehensive 5-year product warranty, 5-year emergency battery warranty, and 2-year on-site warranty for complete peace of mind.
How long will the LED technology last?
The Vanguard 300 features an exceptional 54,000 hour LED life expectancy, significantly longer than standard emergency luminaires, reducing long-term maintenance costs and replacement frequency.
