FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Costa Mesa, California – 6/30/2025 – Ridgeback Lighting, a U.S.-based innovator in LED technology, announces the launch of the EBL Series, a groundbreaking battery-free emergency and egress LED lighting solution built to perform in extreme temperature environments and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
The EBL LED light is engineered to replace traditional battery backup fixtures while eliminating the common failures associated with lead-acid and nickel battery systems. Designed for surface mounting in the same locations as conventional emergency lights, the EBL requires no battery, making it ideal for harsh, low-maintenance, and weight-sensitive deployments.
“This new approach to emergency backup lighting will eliminate the headaches of traditional batteries and significantly improve reliability in emergency situations,” said Clayton Heiser, Manager at Ridgeback Lighting.
Why the EBL Series Stands Out:
Battery-free design eliminates battery maintenance, storage, and replacement
Withstands extreme hot and cold temperatures without degradation
Universal AC input compatibility:
120VAC 60Hz (U.S. Standard)
230–240VAC 50Hz (Europe)
400Hz AC (aircraft and specialized systems)
Ideal for deployable shelters, military containers, ship bulkheads, telecom & emergency applications
Reduces operational costs by cutting labor and fuel from reduced fixture weight
Ridgeback Lighting continues to disrupt legacy lighting markets with innovative, problem-solving technology tailored to real-world applications. The EBL Series is suited for ISO containers, ships, telecom enclosures, and mobile command structures, where reliability, longevity, and temperature tolerance are mission-critical.
“Having a cutting-edge option like the EBL Series is what our customers want. It offers real flexibility and performance with zero battery-related maintenance,” said Jacqui Bradburne, Sales Manager at Ridgeback Lighting.
The EBL Series represents a leap forward in egress lighting — one that aligns with Ridgeback Lighting’s mission to deliver Made in USA, high-performance LED lighting solutions for demanding environments.
