Emergency sign lighting (Tunnel)

The TMB luminaire provides lighting for emergency exits, and in particular is used in the Mont Blanc tunnel. It has been optimised in order to comply with the environ-mental requirements of tunnels.

The vertically installed TMB luminaires are permanently lit in order to create an easily identifiable «curtain of light». In case of fire, the powerful lateral lighting provided by the TMB floodlights increases the visibility of the emergency exits.

APPLICATIONS

Lighting for emergency areas or exits making them easier to

locate. The TMB floodlight is a recessed floodlight available in

two versions depending on its application:

• Version 1: equipped with a 150 W metal halide lamp with

ceramic arc tube, the TMB is permanently lit in order to pro-

duce a «curtain of light».

• Version 2: equipped with a 300 W halogen lamp producing

on-demand light only in case of fire in order to increase the

visibility of emergency exits.

ADVANTAGES

• Reliability, robustness and a high level of tightness

• Very high protection against corrosion using a specific treat-

ment identical to the one applied to luminaires

DESCRIPTION

The body of the luminaire is made from cast aluminium and

protected with a special paint developed to resist the most

severe conditions encountered in tunnels.

The floodlight includes either a narrow beam reflector in

metallised aluminium (version 1), or an extensive distribution

reflector in anodised aluminium (version 2).

The prismatic protector is made from tempered glass or

polycarbonate and sealed onto the body of the luminaire.

Electricity is supplied through a compression gland made

from synthetic materials that comply with anti-fire standards

(V0 and 0 % halogen).

INSTALLATION

The luminaire is installed using two stainless steel mounting

screws situated on either side of the floodlight.

The positioning of the lamp is preset at the factory.

MAINTENANCE

The lamp is accessed by a rapid activation of the two closing

levers situated at the back of the floodlight and by releasing the

electrical terminal.

The optical compartment does not require any maintenance. The

high tightness level does not allow dust or humidity to penetrate

into the floodlight. To maintain the original photometric perform-

ance of the TMB floodlight, it is sufficient to clean the external

surfaces.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Nominal voltage: 230V / 50Hz

In the version with a metal halide lamp with ceramic arc tube,

the control gear plate is integrated into the floodlight.
