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.

6 volt rechargeable batteries are a type of battery that can be recharged and used multiple times. They are commonly used for devices that require a low voltage and a high current, such as game feeders, lanterns, emergency lights, and electric signs. 6 volt rechargeable batteries have several advantages over disposable batteries, such as saving money, reducing waste, and preventing short-circuiting.

There are different types of 6 volt rechargeable batteries, such as Sealed Lead Acid (SLA), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and Nickel-Cadmium (NiCD). Each type has its own characteristics, such as capacity, cycle life, weight, and price. For example, SLA batteries are cheap and durable, but heavy and bulky. LiFePO4 batteries are lightweight and long-lasting, but expensive and sensitive to overcharging. NiMH batteries are eco-friendly and high-performance, but prone to self-discharge and memory effect. Depending on the application and preference, users can choose the best type of 6 volt rechargeable battery for their needs.

Red letters are required for New York City and Chicago approved exit signs.

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.

Visibility, brightness and long life are very important factors that should be thought about when purchasing and exit sign. Light emitting diode or LED exit signs & emergency lights have proven to be successful in the reducing electricity consumption by up to 85%. LED exit signs can save money and power while still emitting considerable amounts of light.

Combo exit signs are devices that combine an exit sign and emergency lights in one unit. They are used to indicate the direction of the nearest exit and provide illumination in case of a power outage or emergency situation. Combo exit signs are required by building codes and fire safety regulations in many public and commercial buildings, such as apartment buildings, medical facilities, restaurants, schools, hotels, and offices.

Combo exit signs can be mounted on the wall, ceiling, or side of a building, depending on the layout and design of the space. They come in different colors, shapes, and sizes to suit various preferences and needs.

Combo exit signs are energy-efficient, durable, and easy to install. They have a battery backup feature that allows them to operate for at least 90 minutes in the event of a power failure.

Combo exit signs are an essential safety device that can help people find their way out of a building quickly and safely in an emergency.

An emergency light with battery backup capability switches to emergency operation in the event of a power loss to illuminate escape routes and safety equipment.

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.

Title 20 is part of the CEC's Appliance Efficiency Regulation and California Code of Regulations that requires manufacturer certification of "self-contained” lighting control devices in California.

 

"Self-contained” lighting control devices are defined as discrete lighting control devices that can perform their designed function without the requirement of being connected to additional devices.

 

Common devices that may fall under the category of "Self-contained” include:
