Battery Backup - Rugged Light Engine

Digital Lumens

The battery backup unit for the RLE “BBD-RLE” is a reserve power unit designed to meet IEC 60598-2-22. As BBD-RLE is a robust emergency power source for an RLE unit, it must meet the same IP66 and harsh chemical spray down standards as the luminaire.

I owned the full mechanical design of BBD-RLE from inception through prototyping, validation, and production. I worked with a cross-functional team including electrical engineers, firmware engineers, and compliance engineers.

An in-depth slide deck highlighting challenging parts of the design process including thermal management, IP sealing, and light pipe design is located here.
