Edwards, a global pioneer in fire alarm, mass notification, and hazard warning systems, has introduced a major update to the Genesis™ LED Notification Appliances portfolio with the launch of Genesis™ LED High Candela series.
These enhanced products will address critical needs in the market, to help provide protection and address challenges in a variety of large indoor open spaces. Edwards is a part of Carrier Global Corporation, a global pioneer in intelligent climate and energy solutions.
Genesis LED High Candela series
The all-new Genesis LED High Candela series is exemplary of Edwards’ commitment to leading with cutting-edge technology that pushes the envelope in the life safety market.
For site managers, Genesis LED provides strong and reliable notification while also providing cost and energy-saving benefits.
Key elements include:
- Speakers that exceed the ‘Excellent’ Speech Transmission Index (STI) levels.
- Best-in-class ultra-low current draw (53mA at 185cd), reducing runs, and constant draw across candela output settings.
- Requires fewer strobes, translating to a lower TCO due to longer circuit runs using thinner wire gauges and fewer booster power supplies.
- Backward compatible with legacy appliances.
- Reduced costs for both new installations and retrofits.
LED High Candela strobe technology
These strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as wall or ceiling public-mode notification appliances
This new high-performance LED High Candela strobe technology combines enhanced product performance, energy efficiencies, and cost savings thanks to an ultra-low device current consumption that requires fewer strobes to complete full coverage.
These strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as wall or ceiling public-mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired.
higher light output
This new Genesis LED High Candela low current draw is unparalleled in the industry at 53mA and generates a higher light output ideal for large open area applications with bright light strobes going up to 185cd.
It's one current draw for multiple candela settings allows the appliance to be flexible for initial light coverage calculations as well as future changes in light output needs.
easy to install
"Edwards devices are designed to be seamless, highly efficient, and easy to install. It's crucial to not only meet code requirements but to exceed industry standards and improve overall safety and reliability," said Jon Hughes, VP of Product Management.
He adds, "These enhancements to the Genesis LED Series emphasize Edwards’ commitment to innovation in a competitive marketplace."
Genesis LED Series
Early in 2025, Edwards will launch another expansion of the Genesis LED Series: Genesis LED Low-Frequency Horn Strobes.
These appliances will address low-frequency audio requirements such as those suitable for occupants in sleeping environments and other applications requiring low-frequency audible tones. Genesis LED High Candela will be available in Q4 2024.
