NUVO Lighting 65-696 2X2 Emergency Backup, Double Basket LED Troffer Fixture, Wattage Selectable, CCT Selectable, Lumens Selectable

Emergency backup is built into the 65-696 fixture itself, so you are not adding a remote battery pack or a separate exit/egress light to this housing. That makes it the one to specify where code calls for illuminated egress in corridors, stairs or exit paths and you want the same fixture appearance as the rest of the ceiling.

It is field selectable on all three. Wattage switches between 30W, 35W and 40W, with output tracking from 3300 to 4600 lumens, and the CCT is selectable as well. You set it at the fixture during install rather than ordering a fixed configuration, which means one part number covers an office at the low setting and a retail or back-of-house space at the high one. Handy for MRO stocking, since a single item covers several specs.

The 65-696 is universal voltage, 100V to 277V, so the same fixture wires to 120V, 208V, 240V or 277V branch circuits. No voltage-specific part number to track when a building has both 120V tenant spaces and 277V common areas.

No. The 65-696 is an indoor fixture with a damp location rating only. Damp covers spaces like covered corridors, bathrooms and kitchens where condensation occurs, but not direct water exposure or weather. For an open parking deck or exterior canopy you need a wet-location-rated fixture instead.

Yes, the fixture is dimmable. Pair it with a compatible LED driver control at the wall; the driver is integral to the fixture, so there is no lamp swap involved. If the room is on occupancy sensing or daylight harvesting, this version supports that control strategy while still holding the emergency backup function.

It carries a cULus certification, which is the listing an inspector or facility spec will typically look for on a commercial ceiling fixture in the US and Canada. The fixture is also RoHS compliant. Note the California Prop 65 disclosure for lead.

There is nothing to relamp. The LED source is integrated into the fixture, with no sockets or replaceable lamps, and it is rated for 50,000 average hours. For a facility running 12 hours a day that is roughly 11 years of service before rated output decline, so the maintenance plan is fixture replacement rather than lamp stocking.

A double basket troffer uses two curved diffuser baskets in the housing rather than one flat lens, which spreads light and softens the view of the LED source from below. It sits in the grid as a recessed 2x2 fixture at 3.02 inches deep. A flat edge-lit panel is shallower and better where plenum space is minimal; the basket style is the choice where you want the traditional troffer appearance and a softer brightness on the ceiling plane.

CRI is 80, which is the normal commercial-office value for general ambient lighting in corridors, classrooms and open plan areas. It will visually match other 80 CRI troffers on the same ceiling. If the space needs retail merchandise or healthcare-grade color rendering, specify a 90 CRI fixture instead.

White is the finish offered. Each fixture weighs 9.36 lbs, light enough for a standard suspended grid with the usual independent support wires, but worth adding up when you are loading a long run of grid with emergency-backup units.
