Exit Emergency Lights

If you are searching for exit emergency lights than you probably are looking for an exit sign with emergency lights, also known as a combination model. Combination exit signs with emergency lights are popular for applications that require both an exit sign and an emergency light fixture. Exit signs are required in all facilities throughout North America and the world. Exit signs provide a legible visual guide towards the nearest exit for patrons to follow during emergencies. Exit signs are required to be illuminated at all times and to operate for a minimum 90 minutes in emergency mode if AC electrical power is lost. Emergency lights are required for facilities that do not have a backup generator. Their purpose is to work along side exit signs and provide illumination along the exit pathway after AC power is lost. Emergency lights operate only if power is lost and use an internal battery to illuminate the lamp heads.

Combination exit signs with emergency lights bring together these two important safety fixtures into one unit that requires just one electrical connection. The emergency lamps are attached to the side or top of the exit signs. Both the exit sign portion and emergency lights utilize an internal battery backup system that provides operational power in emergency mode. A simple push-to-test button is included on all models for easy testing of the units. Exitsigns.net manufactures more than 10 models of combination units for different types of indoor and outdoor environments.
