Emergency Lights, Emergency Ballasts Products (5 items)

An emergency light is a lighting device with a battery backup that switches on automatically when a building experiences a power outage. Emergency lights are standard in commercial and high occupancy residential buildings, such as college dormitories. Most building codes require emergency lighting be installed in older buildings as well.

Emergency light ballasts are devices that allow normal fluorescent lights to double as an emergency light by providing battery power to one or two lamps after electrical power is lost. These ballasts operate for a minimum of 90 minutes in a situation where electricity is lost, the same length of time that emergency lighting fixtures normally operate.
