The Kidde Genesis LED EGC-VMH is a high-candela ceiling mount strobe for commercial fire alarm notification circuits. Six field-selectable candela settings (95, 115, 135, 150, 177, and 185 cd) let you match output to NFPA 72 and ADA spacing requirements without stocking multiple models or returning to the supply house.

Built for the commercial installer

LED technology draws significantly less current than xenon strobes at equivalent candela output, stretching NAC circuit capacity and reducing the need for additional booster power supplies on long wire runs. The patented Genesis low-profile design sits closer to the ceiling than standard appliances, keeping a clean look in finished spaces. UL 1971 and ULC-S526-17 listed.

Key features

  • Field-selectable high candela: six settings (95-185 cd) cover large open spaces and high-ceiling applications from one SKU
  • Low-current LED strobe: maximizes devices per NAC circuit compared to xenon equivalents
  • Built-in synchronization: synchronizes across circuits without an external sync module
  • Standard electrical box mounting: fits 4-inch square, 3.5" or 4" octagonal, or single-gang with adapter plate
  • Low-profile design: patented Genesis housing minimizes projection from the ceiling

System requirements

Operates on 16-33 VDC regulated and filtered from a compatible FACP or NAC power supply. Wiring accepts 12-18 AWG. Indoor use only.

FAQs

How many candela settings does this strobe have?
Six field-selectable settings: 95, 115, 135, 150, 177, and 185 cd. An onboard switch sets the output to match NFPA 72 and ADA spacing requirements for the space.
Does this strobe need an external synchronization module?
No. The Genesis LED EGC series has built-in synchronization that works across NAC circuits without additional hardware.
What electrical boxes does this mount to?
Standard 4-inch square electrical box, 3.5" or 4" octagonal box, or single-gang box with an adapter plate.
How does LED current draw compare to xenon strobes?
The Genesis LED strobe draws significantly less current than xenon equivalents at the same candela output. This allows more devices per NAC circuit and can reduce the need for additional booster power supplies on large systems.
Is this strobe rated for outdoor use?
No. The EGC series is rated for indoor environments only, with an operating range of 32°F to 120°F and 10-93% non-condensing humidity.
