Sealed Lead Acid (SLA)
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.
Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd)
The nickel–cadmium battery is a type of rechargeable battery using nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes. The abbreviation NiCd is derived from the chemical symbols of nickel and cadmium. NiCd batteries have a longer shelf life of around 10 years. The NiCd batteries sold on this site are High Temperature NiCds batteries with outstanding charge/discharge characteristics at both room temperature and high temperature up to 70°C (158°F).
Warning: Batteries, battery terminals, and related accessories can expose you to chemicals including Cadmium and Cadmium compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to

Red
Red letters are required for New York City and Chicago approved exit signs.
Green
Green letters are typically used in theater exit signs.
Damp Location
A damp location is an interior location normally subject to dampness or condensation, or an exterior location protected from weather and not subject to saturation with water. Damp locations include over bathtubs, indoor pools, covered porches, and like locations.
Wet Location
Wet Location emergency lights and exit signs are weatherproof and designed to be used in outdoor environments, as well as indoor locations that are exposed to water and moisture. Wet location emergency lights and exit signs are extremely durable and long-lasting.
Buy America Compliant (BAA)

Products displaying an 'Assembled in the USA' label will contain a percentage of imported components but will be physically assembled in America and are compliant with the Buy American Act (BAA). The FTC states that Assembled in America products must have undergone a significant transformation on American soil.
Combo Unit
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.
Battery Backup
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.
Hazardous Location
Hazardous location exit signs and emergency lights are designed to operate in hostile environments that would damage ordinary signs and lights. Constructed from corrosion resistant materials, some units offer sealed enclosures that can be used in outdoor environments or areas subject to water spray, moisture and extreme temperature conditions.
Outdoor
Outdoor lighting is lighting used to illuminate the areas, where there are no roofs, i.e., outdoor areas. Outdoor lights are able to be in the elements of including rain and cold weather.
Surface/Wall Mount
Exit signs & emergency lights that are surface mountable are typically one sided and have a back plate that can be connected directly to a wall or flat surface.
Industrial
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.
PAR36
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.
