LynTec Panels Earn UL 924 Emergency Lighting Certification

LynTec, a manufacturer of innovative electrical power control solutions for professional audio, video, and lighting systems, announces that its Remote Power Controller (RPC) family of panels has received UL 924 certification, ensuring that LynTec offers panels that conform to UL's standard for emergency lighting and power equipment.

"Emergency lighting is something every entertainment space must plan for but hopes they'll never have to use," said Mark Bishop, president of LynTec. "The lighting features in our RPC panels make today's emergency lighting applications significantly simpler, less costly, and more compact. And now that the panels meet UL 924 requirements, entertainment lighting professionals can be certain that the lighting will be up to code when providing potentially lifesaving illumination in an emergency situation."

The entire RPC controller panel family turns circuits on instantly and automatically for emergency egress lighting, regardless of control protocol or zone assignment. It eliminates the need for separate emergency lighting relay panels, which saves space and lowers installation costs. The UL 924-listed panels, used in conjunction with an upstream transfer switch, help ensure that users comply easily with federal, state, and local egress or emergency lighting codes as required for any new or upgraded lighting installation.

The UL 924 standard applies to emergency lighting and power equipment intended for connection to branch circuits of 600V or less. Such equipment is intended to automatically supply illumination or power or both to critical areas and equipment in the event of failure of the normal supply, in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
