Primo Q Update
28-03-2023
RDF Lighting Power and Control are delighted to provide an update on the Primo Q fitting from TM Technologie, an innovative 4-sided 360 º viewable exit sign designed specifically due to feedback from customers in the UK. Per the image below, the product is finding favour in car park applications due to the new mounting options.

This internally illuminated metal framed escape route exit sign is suitable for areas where occupants may be arriving from different directions and avoids the need for multiple exit signs which can often be confusing. The Primo Q, like all fittings from the Primo range are fitted with environmentally friendly LiFePO4 batteries which typically provide 8 to 10 years of normal use. These long-life batteries lead to significant savings on battery replacements which are normally required no longer than every 4 years.
Since these signs are particularly suited for open spaces, then the viewing distance has been chosen as a minimum of 30m for the Q30 version and 40 metres for the Q40.
There are 2 mounting options available, as standard this ceiling mount product is provided with a mounting plate and cable kit to suspend the fitting up to 5 metres.
The other mounting option is to use the metal single pole bracket per the image above which hides the supply cable and is suited for spaces such as car parks where a more rigid mounting option is preferred due to the exposure to windy conditions.
For applications where the exit sign is suspended at height, then there is a central battery version where the batteries are stored outside of the exit sign in a central location for easy maintenance.
All Primo exit signs and emergency lights are available in a number of finishes to match your requirements; as standard you can choose from brushed or polished stainless steel and from white or black power coated paint. Versions with powder coated paint matched to the colour of your branding or desired RAL colour are also available on request.
The emergency test versions available are the standard key test, auto-test (self-test), DATA2 addressable and central battery. DALI versions are already available for all other Primo fittings as well as the standard range of PC exit signs and emergency lights from TM Technologie.

Recently the exit signs have been supplied for use for open spaces in several car parks around the UK to help direct their occupants to the nearest escape no matter where they are in the building. The customer chose to match the colour of the fitting to other exit signs used elsewhere on site.
Other applications for the 4-sided sign include sports stadiums and arenas, airports, warehouses, open office areas or exhibition halls.
