Every VOFUWOOD wall-mounted emergency torch works the same way: it sits in a bracket beside the guest room door, lights the moment it is lifted out and goes out when it is put back. The models differ in what the body is made of and how they are powered. None of the current models lights by itself during a power cut; in every case the guest picks it up.

All models are IP30. All carry CE and RoHS certification, with a third-party test report issued by a CMA and CNAS accredited laboratory. VOFU-10, VOFU-11 and VOFU-15 use a utility-model patented design (ZL 2019 2 0745584.3). VOFU-06/07 are earlier products, still supplied where a D-cell torch is specifically required.
Four questions that decide the model
Is there power at the guest room door?
If the bracket can be wired, the VOFU-01 charges in place and no one ever changes a battery. If it cannot, the dedicated-battery models fit with two screws and no wiring, and the battery is changed every six months.
Metal or plastic?
Upscale rooms usually take the aluminium VOFU-11, or the shorter VOFU-10 where the door frame is tight. Mid-market and economy properties, dormitories and rental apartments usually take the ABS VOFU-15, which ships 100 to a carton.
Who replaces the battery, and where do they buy it?
The dedicated battery gives about six months of standby but has to be ordered from us. The VOFU-02 runs on three AAA cells that can be bought in any market, which suits properties far from a supplier.
Should the torch be seen or be discreet?
The VOFU-02 in red reads immediately as emergency equipment, which is what corridors, back-of-house areas and factories want. Silver, black and white sit quietly in a finished room.
What the standard asks for
In China, GB/T 40248-2021 requires an emergency torch in high-rise hotel guest rooms and recommends one in all other hotel rooms, placed in a visible position, and sets a minimum of 30 minutes of effective use. It also asks for a torch at the front desk and in the evacuation kit on each floor. We do not recommend keeping the torch in a drawer, where a guest cannot find it in the dark. Local fire and rescue requirements take precedence over the national standard.
Samples
Free samples are available to hotels and distributors, and we suggest comparing an aluminium and an ABS model in the same room before deciding. VOFU-10, VOFU-11 and VOFU-15 carry a lifetime repair warranty; VOFU-01, VOFU-02 and VOFU-06/07 carry a 12-month warranty.
