ELRC Recessed Steel Chicago Approved Emergency Light

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.

The main housing of these exit signs and emergency lights is painted white or made from a white thermoplastic.

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.

Recessed mounted exit signs or emergency lights offer a low-profile installation by hiding the housing, which includes the electrical components of the exit sign in the ceiling.

Chicago Approved exit signs must meet specific rules and guidelines. Signs must be rectangular 20 gauge sheet metal with a glass or plastic face. The letters and arrows must be red on white. All exit signs must be internally illuminated with at least a 10 watt lamp.

These products can be hung from the ceiling. Many exit signs come with the ceiling mounting canopy included.

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.

Architectural lighting is designed to be a highly functional style of lighting in spaces where light fixtures are needed to serve a fundamental purpose, such as providing focused downlight or accenting certain areas of a room. Often thought of as a practical type of lighting, these fixtures are not usually given credit for their decorative character and ability to add undeniable style to a lighting project.

Commercial lighting is lighting used for commercial spaces such as offices, stores, institutions, hospitals and government buildings, essentially those spaces that are not residential, industrial or for manufacturing.

Industrial modern blends the urban edge of utilitarian design with the warmth of aged woods and worn textures. Lighting utilize aged iron and metals with rich patinas, accented by weathered woods and soft neutral surfaces.

Beautiful and stylish residential lighting.

PAR36 bulbs are the industry standard light source for aircraft landing (ACL) lights. These airplane landers usually use 28 Volt DC. Nowadays, PAR36 are mostly used in a 12 Volt DC or AC setting and commonly used for: Suitable for most low voltage systems using power supplies or direct DC systems.
