2. Introduction
RHB Innovations was established by the previous owners of the Bodine Company
Our Management Team has combined experience of over 100 years in the Lighting Industry
Exceptional customer service and high quality emergency products
Based in Memphis, TN
RHB Innovations, which stands for Richard H. Bodine Innovations, has been created to carry on the “Bodine” tradition of providing the best innovative emergency lighting solutions in the world. RHB continues the time-tested vision of Dick Bodine’s legacy in the lighting industry. Our mission is to become the leader in emergency lighting by providing customer driven innovative solutions by exemplifying the following qualities that are the backbone of our mission statement: high morals, intense passion, great energy, having fun and being fully engaged with all team members.
The RHB principals, Dick, Al, and John, have been the industry leaders in the emergency ballast business with over 100 years of combined experience in the identification, design and manufacture of high quality emergency lighting products. Our initial product offering is designed to meet the current Life Safety Egress needs associated with traditional fluorescent fixture applications. Moving forward we have always believed that new products were the life blood of the industry. Because of this philosophy, we are in the process of developing a diverse and complete product line. We have a strong history of product development, and have long been recognized as a leader in our niche emergency lighting industry arena. This long history of innovation, experience and overall understanding of the emergency lighting market will continue through RHB Innovations. RHB Innovations is dedicated to providing high quality and innovative emergency lighting solutions designed to meet the “ever-changing” emergency lighting egress needs ranging from the traditional incandescent, fluorescent and HID applications to the latest LED technological advancements, throughout the Lighting Industry with respect to energy saving, point source, and color rendering advancements. Since these LED advancements are being developed and introduced at such a fast pace, RHB Innovations is currently using feedback from the market place to design new emergency LED solutions which are designed to stay ahead of these technology curves and which should be available in
Each of the RHB Innovation products meet or exceed the standards set forth by NFPA Life Safety Code.
There are some in the industry that try to “knock off” those of us that are seriously committed to this Life Safety business.  What they end up with is copies of old designs with unknown component quality with the primary goal to reduce overall cost. One of the weaker points in these units is the battery itself. At RHB, we only use the time tested, durable, “high temperature” nickel cadmium batteries that have been the “workhorse” battery in emergency ballasts for decades where they are designed to meet the critical needs of saving lives by converting normal lighting to emergency egress lighting, each and every time, during loss of power. 2 2

Our RHB Innovations linear fluorescent emergency ballasts cover a wide range of lumen output levels. They range from the basic contractor grade model (RHB501 – 500 lumens) up to our specification grade model (RHB lumens), with other models in between.
Emergency Unit Field Application: the lumen output of these units will dictate the spacing required to meet the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code.
In a typical hallway, corridor, classroom or commercial office application (using a linear lamp, 8’-9’ mounting heights), the approximate spacing can be seen comparing the contractor grade RHB501 – 500 lumen FEB versus the RHB lumen model as follows:
RHB501 spacing will be every 12’ to 15’ versus RHB1402 of 40’ to 45’. DISCLAIMER: Obviously, this is a general rule of thumb for spacing, based on common applications, which can change significantly, based on the varying mounting applications: such as increase in ceiling heights, wall reflectance's and a host of other application factors. Lighting software applications are available which can be used to confirm exact unit spacing needed to meet the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. 5 5

RHB “low profile” FEB’s are ideal for pendant, cove, recessed indirect/direct, surface-mount, low-profile linear and other space-limited lighting applications. These lower heights and narrower widths permit the RHB-LPs to be paired with these slim-line electronic AC ballasts. Our RHB “low profile” FEB’s unit dimensions allow ballast channel installation into space-limited fixtures. Challenge: With the introduction of these decorative, pendant, and other space-limited fixtures (using T5 & T8 lamps) which are designed with narrow “ballast channel” cross sections, there has been a challenge found in where to mount the emergency ballast inside the fixture, since the traditional emergency ballast can be wider than the actual fixture cross section and is unable to fit thus requiring the emergency unit to be mounted on top of or remote from the fixture.
Solution: with the new RHB Innovations “low profile” fluorescent emergency ballasts, we have significantly decreased the cross section in both height and width in our RHB831LP & RHB1301LP thus allowing these “low profile” FEB’s to be installed inside the fixture while eliminating the need to get into the many complexities found when trying to remote the emergency ballast outside the fixture. 7 7

NFPA 101 (7.9.3) requires periodic testing, visual inspections and written records of test results for all emergency lighting equipment.
30-second monthly test, 90-minute annual test**
Exception: Self-testing/ self-diagnostic, battery operated emergency lighting equipment (Note: exempts 30-sec monthly functional test only)
Exception: Computer-based, self- testing/self diagnostic, battery operated emergency lighting equipment (Capable of providing a report of the history of the test for both the 90 minute and 30 second test)
In addition, codes and regulations require periodic testing, visual inspections and written records of test results for all emergency lighting equipment.
Maintenance personnel should test emergency ballast operation every 30 days for 30 seconds, and conduct a full 90-minute discharge test once a year.
Self-testing/self-diagnostic emergency lighting equipment is exempt from the 30-second monthly test only. The annual 90-minute discharge test and written records of test results are still required.
These codes provide guidelines for minimum standards for emergency lighting. In some applications, more than minimum standards are needed.
The RHB 1201ST will self-test for thirty seconds monthly and for ninety minutes
annually and will diagnose potential problems within the light fixture. If problems are
encountered, the unit will specify failure of the battery, charge rate, lamp operation, or inverter circuit by
means of a flashing red indicator.

This automated, code required testing saves costly expenses associated with manpower required to manually perform these monthly required tests!!! 8 8

Allows auxilliary generator power on a switched fixture
The ETD3 allows a switched fixture to be used for emergency lighting fed from a generator or inverter.
The ETD3 uses internal relay contacts to control the AC power feeding the lighting load. When then ETD3 senses the loss of normal power, it switches the AC ballast input to the generator circuit, bypassing the wall switch.

Required by laws, codes, & regulations
NEC – National Electric Code
NFPA – National Fire Protection Association
OSHA – Occupational Safety and Health Act
Periodic monitoring/testing requirements
Required by code
Minimum 30 seconds testing at 30 day intervals
90-Minute discharge, once a year
Records for proof of maintenance
Liability – Life safety is important!
Ensuring the security and safety of building occupants
Reiterate Code:
The primary code that applies nationally is the NFPA 101 “Means of Egress” Life Safety Code which requires that emergency illumination shall be provided for not less than 1 ½ hours in the event of failure of normal lighting and that the initial illumination is not less than an average of 1 ft-candle, and at any point, not less than 0.1 ft-candle measured along the path of egress at the floor level. Obviously, the local code inspector will have the final approval based on his interpretations.
NFPA 101 (7.9.3) requires periodic testing, visual inspections and written records of test results for all emergency lighting equipment. (See RHB1201ST Slide for more details).
