Cooper Notification Introduces Industry’s First LED Notification Appliances
Patented LED technology provides unmatched optical performance with industry’s lowest current draw.
LONG BRANCH, N.J., May 17, 2012 – Cooper Notification, a leading supplier of Life Safety and Mass
Notification System (MNS) solutions, is excited to announce the introduction of the industry’s first LED
notification appliances. Cooper Notification’s Wheelock ExcederTM Series expands to include LED horn
strobes, strobes and horns in one of the smallest, most compact single gang designs. Cooper
Notification is a solution platform of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE: CBE), a global provider of electrical
solutions.
As the first LED notification appliances to be UL listed for both public and private mode Life Safety
applications, Cooper Notification’s patented technology provides the industry’s lowest current draw. It
allows for energy savings of up to 52 percent compared to competitive models. Using LED as the strobe
light source, the product incorporates high efficiency optics to minimize current draw. This allows for a
greater number of appliances on the notification appliance circuit and fewer power supplies.
“Committed to providing significant energy savings to customers through innovative solutions, Cooper
Notification is proud to offer this breakthrough optical design,” said Scott Hearn, President, Cooper
Notification. “With our new LED notification appliances, customers can feel confident that we are not only
providing best-in-class efficiency, but reducing material and overall system costs. For buildings looking to
go green, it’s the pinnacle of Life Safety and energy efficiency.”
The Wheelock Exceder LED horn strobes, strobes and horns feature one of the industry’s smallest
footprints along with a sleek, modern low-profile design. In addition to energy savings, installers will
benefit from a wide range of features, including several candela settings, a single-gang design, four
convenient mounting options and the ability to change settings without a single tool - all designed to
reduce total cost of ownership.
Cooper Industries delivers a wide range of energy-saving solutions across multiple product categories.
Whether it’s high-performance fluorescents, LED technology, occupancy sensors, lighting controls or
power demand management products, Cooper Industries leads the way to a better tomorrow for its
customers and their communities.
