Bright Socket
Enhance the safety and efficiency of your HVAC systems with our premium Bright Socket solutions. Crafted from durable materials and built using quality HVAC parts.
Plug Socket with Emergency Lights
A plug socket with embedded emergency lighting, on the front of the plug socket. These are low voltage long-lasting LEDs that will illuminate when the mains electrical supply is removed.
The plug socket has an internally mounted charging circuit board, this is powered via the plug sockets main 230vac power supply terminals. The bright white light emitting diodes used for the emergency lighting is powered via the 3.7V rechargeable battery and only switch on when the power to the socket is lost.
Batterys
High Capacity 2600mAh 3.7 volt Li-Ion rechargeable battery that does not suffer from memory effect, loss of capacity or high self discharge rates.
Operation
The socket operates similarly to an existing socket until it detects the power is removed when it automatically switches to battery operation. This enables LED emergency lights to stay on independently for up to three hours until the power returns.
Don't fear a power cut!
New LED socket lights up a room for a minimum of THREE HOURS during an energy outage, Light socket made by Maxking Ltd in Bedfordshire could let people see in blackouts.
This innovative new product is set to take its place among other “standard” safety products within the home such as smoke detectors, CO detectors and intruder alarms. Emergency lighting uses an independent power source from mains power, ensuring that it will come into effect in any event if the mains power is shut off.
LED Socket
The appliance operates similarly to the existing socket until it detects the power is removed when it automatically switches to battery operation and illuminates the bright light emitting diodes.
The rechargeable battery enables the light emitting diodes to stay on independently for up to a minimum of three hours or until the electrical power returns.
Benefits for socket emergency lighting.
Can be installed in grade listed buildings and provides the property with constant lighting, making it safe for people within the premises to evacuate calmly in the case of a fire, even if mains power is affected.
Emergency Light closer to the floor can reduce working time or money lost in trying to sort out situations if the mains power does fail.
If a fire occurs and there is a blackout, emergency lighting will make it easier to leave the building safely and calmly for everyone in the premises, the emergency light socket improves the emergency lighting in hotel corridors and rooms.
Due to their energy efficiency and environmental benefits, LEDs are safer and can save money in the long term.
LEDs are more efficient than incandescent bulbs
They waste very little energy as heat, unlike most light sources They can light up quickly and can be turned on and off frequently
LEDs are less fragile and have longer lifespans
They are less toxic because they do not contain mercury
Type of battery
The battery used in this circuit is a 3.7v Li-ion battery 2600mAh.
Charging current in this circuit is 5.9mA, which is acceptable for slow charging since this circuit is for emergency lighting.
The 3.6V COB (LED strip is 3 Watts in power, so a 2600mAh battery at 3.6VDC = 9 Wh (Wh = mAh × V / 1000) this is 3 hours.
The above is NEVER actually true unless the battery is perfect. It is just an approximation supplied by the manufacturer of the battery pack (or cell) that this should be the expected performance.
So we install 2 X 2600 mAh batteries (5200 mAh) per socket, so total light duration is approximatly 19 Wh, which is over 6 hours of illumination, certainly enough for 3 hours as per the regulations BS 5266-1.
FAQ’s
Yes it will, better with a 35mm deep box as you have more room for the cables.
Yes, it’s a standard BS1363 socket but with an LED (light-Emitting Diode) COB (Chip On Board) installed on the front and a circuit board behind with a rechargeable battery.
No, the components are high quality and will last for many years.
Inside the socket we have a rechargeable battery, so while the mains power is on this battery is charging. Now when the power is removed the LED’s then light up as its being supplied by the battery.
Yes, the LED COB is water proof, naturally always be careful with electricity and water.
More than 3 hours, this is whats required for the emergency light regulations.
- Yes you can, you can replace your existing sockets and install the emergency lighting sockets.
Being near the ground is good, if you have a smoke filled room, smoke rises. With the sockets near the ground you can see the floor.
Yes, we have a test button on the socket front, you can press this to see the LED light is working.
No, its there to indicate the battery is charging and you have 4.6v dc supply to the main PCB board. You can cover it up if its an issue, but the regulations ask for a LED charging light.
