Kidde - Edwards EGC-VMH Ceiling Strobe Selectacandle

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS EGC-VMH is a white ceiling-mount strobe designed for use in fire alarm and life safety notification systems. Ceiling strobes in this class deliver high-intensity visual alerts to occupants in areas where audible signals alone may not be sufficient, such as high-noise environments or locations serving hearing-impaired individuals. The EGC-VMH features a selectable candela output, allowing the installing technician to set the light intensity to match the requirements of the protected space without stocking multiple fixed-output devices. It is installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians.

This strobe is suited for commercial and institutional applications including offices, corridors, restrooms, classrooms, and other occupied spaces that require ADA-compliant visual notification. The selectacandle feature makes it adaptable to varying room sizes and coverage zones within a single installation. It mounts to a standard electrical box on the ceiling and connects to a supervised notification appliance circuit within a conventional or addressable fire alarm system.
