The Firefly AL is a discreet, anti-ligature recessed emergency luminaire designed specifically for safety-critical environments such as mental health and custodial facilities. Its robust construction includes a precision-engineered aluminium bezel secured with tamper-resistant T20 pin Torx screw fixings, ensuring the fixture cannot be easily removed or tampered with.
Built to deliver both safety and performance, Firefly AL features five optical distribution options that provide targeted illumination for points of emphasis, escape routes, and open areas (anti-panic zones). Its compact recessed design allows for seamless integration into ceilings, maintaining a low profile while delivering essential emergency lighting coverage. Rated IP40 as standard, with an IP20 rating above the ceiling, Firefly AL is suited for indoor environments where security and reliability are paramount.
At the core of Firefly AL is advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery technology, offering long-lasting, stable performance and a low standby power consumption of less than 1 watt. The luminaire supports a three-hour non-maintained emergency operation and is available in 3 W or 4 W LED power versions, with a circuit power range of 5 to 5.5 W and emergency lumen output from 270 to 425 lumens.
This next-generation luminaire incorporates SmartScan wireless communication technology, enabling simple installation, automatic self-testing, and full remote status reporting—ideal for secure, institutional settings with centralized maintenance systems. Firefly AL not only improves functionality and safety but also contributes to environmental goals, with reduced embodied carbon, lower energy usage, and double the lifespan of its predecessor.
Fully compliant with UKCA standards and backed by a product warranty of up to 10 years, Firefly AL meets the legal obligation for emergency lighting in all occupied or public-use buildings, including workplaces, entertainment venues, and residential complexes requiring secure, tamper-proof lighting solutions.
