Introducing The Solent Emergency Bulkhead: Weatherproof LED Emergency Lighting That Works Where It Matters 

 

The dual-purpose emergency luminaire with switchable testing functions for ultimate flexibility 

When emergency lighting needs to perform in challenging environments, contractors need a solution they can trust. That's why we've engineered The Solent Emergency Bulkhead – a weatherproof LED emergency luminaire that delivers reliable performance wherever safety lighting is critical. 

 

Emergency Technology Meets Robust Construction 

The Solent combines advanced LED technology with practical emergency lighting functionality. With maintained and non-maintained operation options and 150 lumens emergency output, contractors can specify one versatile product for diverse emergency lighting applications while ensuring consistent performance when it's needed most. 

The game-changer: dual testing function flexibility. Unlike traditional emergency lights locked into one testing method, The Solent can be easily switched between remote test and self test functions. This means wholesalers need to stock just one product instead of multiple variants, while contractors gain the flexibility to offer clients either testing option depending on their specific requirements and maintenance preferences. 

The innovative hinged screwless gear tray design means faster installations and easier battery access – because we know efficient on-site work matters to electrical professionals.

With photometric spacing data clearly provided and optimally enhanced diffuser technology, The Solent takes the guesswork out of emergency lighting design. The lightweight construction and easy installation process reduce labour time, while the long-life LED technology and low environmental impact deliver ongoing value for clients.
