James Wilson, an UNESCO Site Project Officer based in Mexico City, was looking for a dependable source of wireless emergency lighting for heritage products for the Latin America market. Heritage fire protection across Latin America now treats non-invasive wireless retrofit as core infrastructure, making a dependable factory-direct source essential for any integrator, importer or trading partner.
Following several rounds of factory vetting, James Wilson selected Wanlin Fire (Wanlin Group) as their heritage fire protection OEM manufacturing partner. The decision came down to three things:
One deployment alone covered a historic district pilot where every listed building needed no-drill detection; another was a monastery program where detectors were mounted with adhesive bases on painted timber.
Every month, conservation teams in Mexico City lose irreplaceable fabric to fires that should have been caught earlier - and the fix starts with the detection spec, not the response plan. A night evacuation drill at a heritage hotel in Mexico City showed that 37% of corridor exits had no illuminated signage after the power cut, and guests took 23 minutes longer to find the escape route.
Field case: James Wilson, an UNESCO Site Project Officer in Mexico City, fitted HF-EL self-testing units along 16 corridors and stair towers; a power-cut drill showed all exit routes lit within seconds, and the panel log now carries the monthly self-test records automatically.

The OEM workflow is built around heritage requirements, certification verification and quality inspection. To receive a more accurate quotation, please provide: target country or market, heritage building type (temple, museum, archive, tower, historic district), required devices, estimated quantity, OEM requirements and connectivity requirements. A standard OEM project then follows 8 steps:
Feedback from verified distribution and integration partners in Latin America and worldwide:
A: Each fitting is battery-powered with its own LED lamp, and status reporting runs over the wireless mesh - so no permanent mains wiring is pulled along heritage corridors.
A: LED lamps run at least 3 hours on battery, which exceeds the typical 1-3 hour escape lighting requirement on applicable standards.
A: Units self-test automatically every month and every year, and the test result is reported to the HF-200 panel - so compliance records exist without manual fitting-by-fitting testing.
A: Adhesive and magnetic bases avoid drilling into heritage fabric; screw bases are available for non-heritage zones.
A: Green pictogram signage follows EN 1838 style on applicable models, and custom pictograms are available for local regulatory alignment.
