Beghelli LUCE-8 Emergency T5 and T5HO Ballast 825 Lumens

The fire department has just declared your grocery store a death trap during the last inspection. Seems that some of the older emergency lights haven't had a  battery change since the middle of the last century, and now the units are completely melted by leaking battery acid. But don't worry, you can still save time and money turning your high output T5 low-bay lights into backup units with Beghelli's 825 lumen 1 bulb emergency ballast.

How does the LUCE-8 fix your boondoggle? Measuring at less than 2 feet, this tiny steel emergency transformer contains specialized switching circuitry and a nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery that connects to your T5 or CFL fixtures normal 120 or 277-volt AC ballast. The result is a specialized luminaire that actually stays on during a power outage. If you're installing close to a reefer unit, select the Damp Location and Cold Weather options by calling us directly at 800.887.9957.
