Good Morning Emma,

I must say you are the best.  Normally I do not receive such fast replies from overseas suppliers, and that too complete with courier charges.

Have a nice day.

Good Afternoon,

I just wanted to provide some positive feedback on your team with specific regards to Emma Williams in Export Sales. I work for a Facilities Maintenance company that is based both in the UK and Ireland which as I’m sure you can imagine; especially in the current climate can be challenging when it comes to stock.

I first started using your site last year and since then have always been welcomed with the most efficient delivery and quick response on stock required for our FA Technician.

Nothing is ever too much trouble and I just wanted to forward this feedback on to yourselves so it was brought to your attention and more importantly to say thank you.

Kind Regards,

Ceri

Thank you.

ACT Luminaire -Emergency Lighting Battery Tester

Time is of the essence when you need to escape a building in an emergency.  But how many engineers wished they could make quick work of testing the batteries which power the lighting system?  What typically takes hours to test can now be done in minutes thanks to the new ACT Luminaire Battery Tester.

The ACT Luminaire battery tester is designed to significantly reduce the time taken to test 2.4v/4.0Ah and 3.6v/1.5Ah Nicad batteries commonly used in stand-alone emergency lighting luminaires. It contains a microprocessor-controlled circuit, which is powered by the battery under test. Once connected, it automatically detects if it is a 2.4v or 3.6v battery then applies a timed load to efficiently test the battery. Test times vary according to 1 hour or full battery duration test (see test timetable) after which sufficient capacity is left to aid recharge recovery and power the emergency light for at least 30 minutes. This allows ALL emergency lighting luminaires to be tested during one service visit.

Design & Operation

Every effort has been taken to keep the ACT Luminaire Battery Tester a quick and user friendly product.  Firstly, there are no complicated settings or switches.  Once connected to the battery terminals, all LEDs will indicate briefly to confirm operation and will automatically determine if the battery type is a 2.4v/4.0Ah or 3.6v/1.5Ah NiCad cell - yet another time saving feature.  The yellow testing LED will flash continuously until the red fail or green pass LED indicates battery condition. This pass or fail indication will all happen within minutes.  The user should test the battery ONCE to simulate a 1 hour test or TWICE for a full duration test.

Key Features

  • Dramatically reduces time taken to perform the 1 hour AND full battery duration test as required by BS5266
  • Tests 2.4v/4.0Ah and 3.6v/1.5Ah Nicad batteries in stand-alone emergency lighting systems in minutes
  • Identifies defective batteries in seconds
  • Leaves sufficient capacity after a full battery duration test to power the emergency light t for at least 30 minutes
  • Simple in operation - no buttons or complicated settings
  • Automatically detects which battery voltage type is fitted
  • Allows ALL emergency lighting luminaires to be tested during one service visit
  • Enables engineers to work more effectively, encourages more businesses to offer this test as a service and ultimately, save more lives.
