The Kidde Genesis LED EGC Series ceiling-mount horn-strobe delivers efficient notification on commercial fire alarm systems while keeping current draw low enough to run more devices per NAC circuit. Field-selectable 15, 30, 75, or 115 candela output and high/low horn settings let installers dial in coverage and audibility per AHJ requirements without swapping SKUs.
Built for the commercial fire installer
LED technology cuts current draw significantly compared to legacy Xenon strobes, translating to longer wire runs, more devices per circuit, and fewer booster power supplies on the job. The EGC mounts to 4" square, 4" octagon, single-gang, or double-gang boxes using the included GP10 room-side wiring plate - rough-in the plate, pull wire, check continuity, then snap the device on at trim-out. No visible mounting screws.
Backward compatible with Genesis Xenon strobes on the same NAC circuit, so you can phase in LED devices during retrofits without ripping out what's already on the ceiling. Synchronization works with Kidde CC Series signal modules, booster and auxiliary power supplies, and both intelligent and conventional FACPs.
Key advantages
- Ultra-low current draw: run more devices per NAC, fewer booster supplies, longer wire runs
- Field-selectable candela: 15, 30, 75, or 115 cd - set on the device, no ordering separate models
- Temporal or steady horn: high/low dB output, selectable at the device
- Backward compatible: mix with Genesis Xenon strobes on the same circuit during retrofits
- GP10 wiring plate included: pre-wire, test continuity, snap on at trim - no exposed screws
- UL 1971, UL 464, ULC-S525, ULC-S526, FM Approved
