Can I add emergency battery backup (EM) to a Bock LED fixture, and what are the requirements?

Emergency battery backup (EM) is available on select Bock LED fixtures, but not all configurations are compatible. Integral EM solutions are limited—many fixtures require the driver and battery to be housed remotely (e.g., in a larger canopy like the BCW8). For example, the LVXV1 and LAC02 modules are not compatible with Bock’s standard EM unit; instead, the LVEV1 module must be used with a BCW6 or BCW6 back box. In some cases, customers can use a field-installed inverter or generator for EM functionality. Pricing for EM typically starts around $150 adder, but varies by fixture and configuration. Lead times for EM-equipped fixtures are generally 2–4 weeks. Always confirm EM compatibility with your Bock sales rep before ordering, as it often requires specific LED modules, modified canopies, or remote mounting.
