The industry standard, mandated by codes like NFPA 101, is a minimum of 90 minutes of emergency illumination. This ensures that occupants have adequate time to safely exit a building during a power outage. All of our emergency lighting products, including our reliable battery-powered LED Exit Signs, are designed to meet this critical 90-minute requirement.
Common durable materials include high-impact thermoplastic, which is flame-rated and corrosion-proof, or die-cast aluminum for maximum durability in demanding environments. These materials are chosen to meet the rigorous standards of UL 924 for safety and performance. We offer a range of options, from our thermoplastic emergency lights to robust die-cast aluminum combo units.
This is a specific type of emergency lighting that provides enhanced illumination in areas where a sudden loss of light could pose a serious danger to people performing critical or hazardous tasks. These systems activate instantly to allow for the safe shutdown of processes or machinery. OSHA specifies minimum lighting levels for various work areas, and our high-lumen emergency lights are designed to meet these higher-demand applications.
Yes, special units rated for Wet Locations feature sealed and gasketed housings that protect the internal components from moisture, dust, and corrosive elements. These are essential for outdoor applications, parking garages, and industrial areas. These enclosures often carry specific NEMA ratings indicating their level of protection. You can find a full range of compliant products in our wet location exit signs department, including our durable weatherproof remote lamp heads.
According to safety codes like NFPA 101, critical placement points for emergency lighting include changes in direction along an egress path, intersections, stairwells, and near essential safety equipment like fire alarm pull stations and fire extinguishers. Using adjustable fixtures like our remote lamp heads allows you to direct light exactly where it's needed most.
