Emergency Lights, Cold Weather, New York City Approved, Steel Products (3 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.

Batteries placed in cold environments can eventually fail or rupture. If your emergency lights or exit signs will be installed in temperatures below 20° F (-6° C), you may want to consider a cold weather option. Cold weather lights include a thermostatic battery heater which maintains the battery strength and lifespan in temperatures between -4° F (-20° C) and -40° F (-40° C) depending on the model you choose.

New York City has very specific codes regarding emergency lighting and signage. In short New York City approved exit signs must be Red 8 inch tall letters with a 1 inch stroke (line thickness) as opposed to 6 inch tall with a 3/4 inch stroke in typical exit signs.

Steel emergency lights and exit signs are designed to provide illumination and guidance in case of a power outage or an emergency situation. They are typically used in applications where steel housing is required for durability, protection, or aesthetics.

Some examples of where to use steel emergency lights and exit signs are:

Offices, factories, and warehouses: These places may have harsh environments or heavy machinery that can damage plastic or aluminum fixtures. Steel emergency lights and exit signs can withstand impacts, vibrations, and corrosion better than other materials.
