Automatic Emergency Lighting During Power Failures

The principal function of the Finder 1L.10.8.230.0002 is to provide local illumination when the normal electrical supply becomes unavailable.

During normal operation, the emergency light remains connected to its mains supply while the integrated rechargeable battery is maintained in a charged condition. The LED light source remains off when the unit is configured for its normal non-maintained emergency operating mode.

When the electrical supply fails, the unit automatically switches to battery-powered operation and illuminates the surrounding area.

This means the emergency light does not require someone to locate and operate a switch during a power cut. The illumination becomes available automatically, helping occupants orient themselves in a darkened room or passageway.

Once the normal mains supply is restored, the emergency lamp switches off and the battery charging process resumes.

The Finder 1L.10.8.230.0002 is intended for supplementary local emergency illumination. Its 14-lumen output should not be assumed sufficient for every statutory escape-route or emergency lighting requirement. Where emergency lighting forms part of a building's life-safety provision, the complete installation must be designed and verified against the applicable regulations and standards.

Integrated Rechargeable Battery with 2.5-Hour Autonomy

The Finder 1L.10.8.230.0002 contains an integrated rechargeable battery that supplies the LED during a mains power interruption.

With the battery fully charged, Finder specifies a maximum emergency lighting duration of approximately 2.5 hours.

This operating period can provide useful temporary illumination while occupants respond to a power failure, locate alternative lighting or move through the affected area.

The specified full charging time is 72 hours. This is particularly important during initial installation because the battery may not be fully charged when the product is first connected.

For commissioning, the manufacturer's instructions identify an activation selector that must be moved from position 0 to 1 after the electrical connection has been completed and before the final installation stage.

With the selector correctly positioned, the lamp is configured to illuminate when mains power is absent and switch off when the supply is present.

The battery is integrated into the unit and is not intended for routine user replacement. Battery performance will vary with age, operating conditions and charging history, so the installation should be inspected and tested periodically.

14-Lumen Cool White LED Illumination

The Finder 1L.10.8.230.0002 incorporates an LED light source delivering a specified 14 lm luminous flux.

Its 5700 K colour temperature produces a cool white light suitable for providing visual reference during a power interruption.

Rather than serving as a conventional room light, the unit is designed to offer local emergency illumination from a compact wall-mounted position.

This makes it particularly useful near circulation routes, doorways, internal corridors and other locations where a small amount of automatic lighting can help people recognise their surroundings.

Finder specifies a luminous efficacy of 67 lm/W for the LED light source.

The combination of low normal power consumption and battery-powered emergency operation makes the LUMOS range practical for installations where the unit remains connected to the electrical supply for extended periods.

For best results, the installation position should be chosen with consideration for the required direction of illumination, nearby obstructions and the visibility of the light from the intended area.

Anthracite Grey Finish and Ultra-Flat Design

The Finder 1L.10.8.230.0002 is supplied in an anthracite grey finish, making it suitable for interiors that use darker decorative electrical accessories.

Modern residential wiring systems frequently offer switches, sockets and faceplates in black, graphite, anthracite and other contemporary colours.

The LUMOS emergency light is designed to complement these installations with a discreet front profile rather than the appearance of a conventional surface-mounted emergency luminaire.

Its ultra-flat design allows it to sit neatly within compatible wall accessory arrangements, helping maintain a consistent visual appearance across the installation.

For projects using white electrical accessories, Finder offers the alternative 1L.10.8.230.0000 model.

The two variants provide the same general emergency lighting function, with the principal product selection difference being the visible colour.

Compatibility with Popular Residential Wiring Systems

The Finder 1L.10 LUMOS emergency light is designed for integration with several established residential wiring accessory systems.

Using the appropriate mounting adaptor, the unit can be fitted into compatible arrangements from manufacturers including AVE, Bticino, Gewiss, Simon Urmet and Vimar.

Finder's installation instructions identify the following adaptor groups:

• AVE S44: AV adaptor.
• Bticino Living, LivingLight and LivingLight Air: BT1 adaptor.
• Bticino Axolute: BT2 adaptor.
• Gewiss Chorus and Bticino Matix: GW adaptor.
• Gewiss System: GW1 adaptor.
• Simon Urmet Nea: SU adaptor.
• Vimar Plana, Eikon and Arké: VM1 adaptor.
• Vimar Idea: VM2 adaptor.

These compatibility references identify the relevant mounting systems rather than guaranteeing compatibility with every faceplate or accessory produced by each manufacturer.

Installers should verify the exact switch range, adaptor type, enclosure dimensions and mounting arrangement before installation.

The named third-party brands are used solely to identify compatible wiring accessory systems and do not indicate that those manufacturers produce the Finder emergency light.

Low-Power Mains Operation

The Finder 1L.10.8.230.0002 is designed to remain connected to the electrical supply so that its internal battery can be maintained in a charged condition.

Its specified normal power consumption is approximately 0.2 W, with a current consumption of 10 mA at 230 V AC.

The rated supply range is 110–230 V AC at 50/60 Hz, while the permitted operating voltage extends from 88 to 264 V AC.

This broad voltage tolerance provides flexibility for use in compatible electrical installations while maintaining the specified emergency lighting functionality.

Because the product contains an internal battery charger and automatic switching electronics, it must be supplied according to the manufacturer's wiring diagram.

It should not be connected as though it were a conventional switched lighting load unless the intended operating arrangement has been verified against the installation instructions.

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance

The Finder 1L.10.8.230.0002 is intended for recessed installation in a compatible electrical wall box.

Installation begins by selecting the correct mounting position and adaptor for the chosen wiring accessory system. The electrical supply must be isolated before any wiring work is carried out.

After the unit has been connected in accordance with the manufacturer's wiring diagram, the commissioning selector must be moved from position 0 to position 1.

This activates the intended emergency operating behaviour, allowing the LED to illuminate when mains power is lost.

Once installed, the battery should be allowed to charge fully. Finder specifies a charging period of 72 hours for a complete charge.

After charging, the installer should test the unit by safely simulating a loss of mains supply and confirming that the emergency light operates correctly.

The unit has an IP20 protection rating and an operating temperature range of -10 to +50 °C. It is therefore intended for suitable dry indoor environments rather than direct outdoor exposure.

Routine checks should include confirming that the lamp activates when the supply is interrupted and that the battery provides an appropriate operating duration.

Where the product is incorporated into a regulated emergency lighting installation, testing, inspection and maintenance must follow the applicable building and electrical safety requirements.
