Ovia, part of the Scolmore Group, has announced the launch of the newly enhanced Orbik by Ovia emergency lighting range. The development marks the next chapter for the long-established Orbik brand, which was brought under Scolmore Group’s distribution earlier this year and integrated within Ovia’s growing lighting portfolio.
Ovia has invested heavily in the redevelopment of the range, combining Orbik’s trusted reputation in emergency lighting with Ovia’s own focus on innovation, performance, and compliance. The result is a comprehensive, fully refreshed collection of emergency lighting solutions designed to meet the requirements of today’s commercial, industrial, and residential environments.
Four new flagship products headline the upgraded Orbik range
The enhanced Orbik by Ovia portfolio introduces four new flagship products - the Novem HO5 high-output bulkhead, the Calvip 65 slimline IP65 exit box, the Synex5 five-in-one exit sign and the Vipex5 4W box exit sign - each engineered to deliver improved performance, flexibility, and installation efficiency. Alongside these launches, the entire Orbik range has been upgraded, featuring enhanced self-test functionality, long-life LiFePO4 battery technology, and refined designs to meet the evolving demands of modern emergency lighting applications.
Novem HO5 – High-Output Emergency Bulkhead
Leading the upgraded portfolio is the Novem HO5, a high-performance, non-maintained emergency bulkhead, delivering over seven times the lumen output of the standard Novem5 model. With a light output of 920 lumens and boasting 115lm/w, the HO5 delivers significantly enhanced brightness and energy efficiency, making it suitable for larger installations and high-ceilinged spaces.
Calvip 65 – Slimline IP65-Rated Exit Box
The new Calvip 65 combines robust performance with a slim, contemporary design. Featuring an IP65 ingress protection rating, the unit is well suited to damp or humid environments such as changing rooms and shower areas, where reliability is essential.
Synex5 – Five-in-One Exit Sign
Designed for maximum flexibility, the Synex5 provides multiple mounting options within a single unit - ceiling and wall mount as standard, with additional accessories available for suspended, recessed, or side-mounted installations. This provides contractors and specifiers with a true five-in-one solution, adaptable to any application.
Vipex5 - 4W Polycarbonate Exit Box
Delivering outstanding performance, the Vipex5 boasts a 36-metre viewing distance for maximum visibility and safety. Its ultra-narrow frame creates a sleek, modern aesthetic, while the robust polycarbonate construction provides a durable upgrade from traditional metal exit boxes. Designed for versatility, this polycarbonate exit box can be easily retrofitted, making an ideal stylish solution for both new installations and refurbishment projects.
