Kidde | Genesis LED Ceiling Mount Mass Notification Strobe, 50 cd Blue Lens, White, No Marking | GCVWN-B

The Kidde GCVWN-B is a Genesis LED ceiling-mount strobe built for mass notification in commercial and institutional buildings. Blue lens, white housing, no marking - purpose-built for general alert signaling where visible-only notification is required on the ceiling plane, visually distinct from red fire alarm strobes.

Built for the commercial installer

Same Genesis LED platform installers already know from fire alarm notification work. The ceiling form factor mounts flush to standard electrical boxes, keeping the device low-profile in corridors, lobbies, open offices, and classroom ceilings. 50 cd output from the blue lens provides immediate visual distinction from fire alarm strobes, making mass notification signals unmistakable at a glance.

The Genesis LED platform draws less current per candela than legacy strobes, extending NAC circuit capacity and reducing the number of power supply runs on large mass notification layouts. White housing with no marking keeps the device clean and appropriate for general signaling applications where FIRE marking is not required.
