FAQ
What makes the Vanguard MAXI different from standard emergency bulkheads?
The Vanguard MAXI offers selectable high output emergency operation of either 1000 or 1500 lumens, significantly higher than standard emergency bulkheads, whilst achieving exceptional 150 lm/W efficacy for maximum energy efficiency.
How do I select between 1000lm and 1500lm output?
The Vanguard MAXI features selectable emergency outputs that can be configured during installation to provide either 1000 lumens or 1500 lumens based on your specific application requirements and spacing calculations.
Is the Vanguard MAXI only available in non-maintained operation?
Yes, the Vanguard MAXI is designed specifically for non-maintained operation, meaning it only activates during mains power failure, making it ideal for applications where emergency-only lighting is required.
What is the advantage of the 135° light distribution?
The 135° distribution provides wider light coverage compared to standard bulkheads, allowing for better spacing between luminaires and more uniform illumination across larger areas, particularly beneficial for open area applications.
How do I test the emergency function on the V2 version?
The V2 version 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 applications is the Vanguard MAXI best suited for?
The high output makes it ideal for large commercial spaces, industrial facilities, warehouses, retail environments, and any application requiring maximum emergency illumination with efficient spacing between luminaires.
How energy efficient is the Vanguard MAXI despite its high output?
The Vanguard MAXI achieves an exceptional 150 lm/W efficacy, consuming only 10W whilst delivering up to 1500 lumens, making it one of the most energy-efficient high-output emergency luminaires available.
What does the Ra >80 colour rendition mean?
Ra >80 indicates superior colour rendering capability, ensuring that colours appear natural and accurate under the emergency lighting, which is important for safe navigation during emergency situations.
Can the Vanguard MAXI be used in harsh environments?
Yes, with IP66 weatherproof protection and IK08 impact resistance, the Vanguard MAXI is suitable for challenging indoor and outdoor environments where exposure to moisture, dust, and mechanical impact may occur.
What warranty coverage is provided with the Vanguard MAXI?
The Vanguard MAXI comes with comprehensive coverage including a 5-year product warranty, 5-year emergency battery warranty, and 2-year on-site warranty, reflecting the premium quality and reliability of this high-performance luminaire.
