Emergency light ceiling mounted refers to emergency lighting fixtures that are mounted to the ceiling. Emergency lights are lighting fixtures that are required in buildings without emergency generators. Their purpose is to provide illumination along the path of egress when AC power is lost during an emergency such as a fire or earthquake. Local, federal, and state building codes mandate that emergency lights come with internal battery backup systems that enable to unit to operate when electrical power is lost. All Exitsigns.net emergency lights are UL Listed and cod compliant throughout North America and the world.

Ceiling mounted emergency lights come in many different types and sizes. Exitsigns.net manufactures over 25 models of ceiling mounted emergency lights, one of which will be the right product for your application. When deciding what type of emergency light to install you will need to consider the aesthetic environment. If you need to install ceiling mounted emergency lights into a commercial apartment or other type of housing, you should go with an affordable thermoplastic emergency light.
