Emergency Lights, Internal Heater, Remote Capable, Sealed Lead Acid (SLA), Steel Products (2 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.

Products with internal heater option allow the units and batteries to operate properly at temperatures down to -50°C.

Remote capable exit signs or emergency lights allow the unit to add additional lighting with remote light heads without adding additional fixtures.

Sealed lead acid batteries are sometimes referred to as VRLA (valve regulated lead acid) and there are two primary types AGM and Gel. We offer both AGM and Gel batteries, each has its advantages over the other depending on the specific application. SLA batteries usually last between 3 to 5 years with typical usage. The optimum operating temperature for the lead-acid battery is 25°C (77°F). Elevated temperature reduces longevity. As a guideline, every 8°C (15°F) rise in temperature cuts the battery life in half.

Tough steel exit signs are the ultimate in durable, impact-resistant exit signage & emergency lights. Available in New York and Chicago approved models, these signs features a universal canopy and LED lighting.
