We are a leading manufacturer of emergency lighting systems, carrying a wide range of UL controls and inverters.
LVS now offers upgrades of the CEPS 120V & 277V, with the CEPS 125W and 250W. The CEPS 125W & 250W offer power increases of more than 10% while sizing shrinks by more the 65% in volume and 40% in weight. Automatic 0-10V Dimming comes standard and allows larger outputs to be supported safely.
These systems support all lamp sources, including LED
The EPC-A-2-D is a UL924 Listed Emergency Power Control intended for use with switching, 0-10V and DALI/EcoSystem dimming controls. During a utility power interruption, the EPC-A-2-D automatically bypasses the normal lighting controls, turning the emergency lights ON at full brightness, regardless of dimmer position. During normal operation, the same dimmer, occupancy sensor, dimming panel, or lighting control can switch and dim normal and emergency fixtures on and off simultaneously
EPC-A-2-D is a 20A rated universal mount device (flush/plenum/junction box)
Unique, Patented Automatic Diagnostic: When the room switch is turned off, the EPC-A-2-D will run a 2.5 self-test routine, verifying that the emergency power source was available and that the EPC-A-2-D, ballast, and lamp(s) are all functioning correctly. This feature eliminates the need for time-consuming and costly manual monthly testing and is approved for this purpose. This also allows the unit to be installed in remote or inaccessible locations, because the unit does not rely on access to its manual test switch.
The EPC-D-F-ATS is the one of the only UL1008 listed device for branch circuit emergency lighting control.
The EPC-D-F-ATS can be used with any dimming system (line voltage, 0-10V, 3-wire, DALI, and more) and ensures that during a power interruption emergency lights will illuminate at full brightness. A triple safety design including time delay, mechanical, and electrical interlocks prevents inadvertent cross-connection, even in the event of device failure. The attractive universal mount package allows the device to be installed flush or surface in the space, or remotely. Complies with latest NEC requires and unparalleled in functionality and reliability.
LVS has a rich legacy spanning nearly fifty years. We began as an electrical contracting firm specializing in complex security and fire alarm systems.
Today, we are a leading manufacturer of emergency lighting systems, carrying a wide range of UL924 and UL1008 listed emergency lighting controls and UL924 listed emergency lighting inverters from 25W to 50,000W.
All LVS equipment is designed and tested for field performance with an industry leading warranty. All LVS equipment is burned in and cycled prior to shipment.
All LVS customers receive immediate, personal support and service.

Emergency Lighting Inverters
-
At its most basic level, an inverter is an electrical component which converts DC power (for example, a battery) to AC power (which can be used by traditional appliances and lighting loads). A UL924 Listed inverter belongs to this family of devices but is a fully functional system including other components such as batteries, battery charger, utility power sensing relay, transfer switch, overcurrent protection, and metal enclosure. UL924 inverters are a popular backup source for buildings which do not already have a generator.
-
Central inverters have numerous advantages over battery packs. Please see the table below for more information.
Low Voltage Switching Relays (CR & TR)
-
In order to properly install the CR-120 you must first determine whether you have a N/O or N/C contact (see question below). Once you have determined this, see the CR-120 installation instructions for wiring instructions.
-
In order to determine if your magnetic switch is N/O or N/C, you would need a continuity tester. Before installing the magnetic switch, take the magnetic switch in your hand and measure continuity between the two wire leads or terminals. If the continuity tester beeps or lights up, you have a N/C magnetic switch. If it does not, you have a N/O magnetic switch. Please note this test should be performed with the magnetic switch not hooked up to anything and not nearby the magnet.
Emergency Lighting Control
-
-
In the past, all emergency lights had to be on 24 hours a day to meet safety codes. Now a UL924 listed emergency power control can convert & control up to 20A of normal lighting into approved emergency lighting. When utility power is available, LVS UL924 listed emergency power controls (EPC’s) allow designated emergency lights to be switched or dimmed using the same control as regular lights in the same area. Upon loss of power, EPC’s will switch designated emergency luminaires on, at full brightness, regardless of switch or dimmer position, until utility power is restored.
Load Shedding
-
The RTS-0-10V, EPC-D-F-LS, and select mini/micro inverters (25W,50W, 110W,225W) have 0-10V load shedding functionality.
-
Load shedding is the automatic reduction of energy consumption through disconnecting or dimming connected loads. Load shedding is desirable in circumstances where power is limited such as during a utility power interruption or during peak demand when power is more expensive.
