Full details

The Knightsbridge LED Round Bulkhead is designed for facility managers and installers who require a robust, reliable lighting solution for demanding indoor and outdoor environments.

A key caveat to note is that this unit contains an emergency battery component, which requires periodic maintenance and testing to ensure compliance with safety regulations.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this bulkhead be used outdoors?

Yes, it features an IP65 rating, making it suitable for outdoor use as it is protected against dust and water jets.

What does CCT adjustable mean?

It means the unit allows you to select between three different light colours (3000K Warm White, 4000K Cool White, and 6000K Daylight) via a switch on the gear tray.

Does this model include a microwave sensor?

No, this specific model (SHE1GEM) is the standard emergency version. Sensors are available on sibling models designated with an 'S' in the MPN.

How often should I test the emergency battery?

You should follow your local building and safety regulations regarding emergency lighting, which typically require monthly function checks and annual full-duration discharge tests.

Is the polycarbonate diffuser replaceable?

The diffuser is designed to be tough and impact-resistant, but if damage occurs, you should contact the manufacturer or your distributor to source the specific replacement part for the Sherpa range.

What is the IP rating?

The unit is rated IP65, providing total protection against dust ingress and protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction.

Troubleshooting

Unit fails to light up during power outage

Ensure the emergency battery was allowed to charge for 24 hours prior to use and verify that the emergency wiring connections are secure.

Light flickering or unstable brightness

Check all input connections for loose wiring and ensure the voltage supply is consistent with the product rating.

CCT setting not working correctly

Check the position of the CCT switch on the gear tray to ensure it is fully clicked into the 3000K, 4000K, or 6000K position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High IP65 rating suitable for wet and dusty environments
  • Versatile CCT settings allow for warm, neutral, or cool white light
  • Impact-resistant housing protects against accidental damage
  • Reliable emergency power backup for safety compliance

Cons

  • Requires professional installation due to integrated emergency circuitry

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current local wiring regulations. The bulkhead is designed for surface mounting on walls or ceilings.

  1. Ensure the power is isolated before beginning installation.
  2. Access the internal gear tray to set your preferred CCT using the integrated switch before securing the diffuser.
  3. The emergency battery requires a 24-hour charge before it can provide its full rated duration.
  4. Clean the external polycarbonate lens with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent; avoid abrasive chemicals that might scratch or cloud the surface.
  5. Conduct routine emergency testing (typically monthly/annually) to verify the battery holds sufficient charge for the required duration.
