Emergency Lights

Functional emergency lights are essential for meeting fire codes, insurance policies, and OSHA regulations. At EmergencyLights.net, we offer reliable, cost-effective emergency lighting solutions tailored to a wide range of commercial and industrial applications—including remote head capable emergency lights, outdoor rated emergency lights, recessed emergency lights, and durable die-cast aluminum emergency lights.

Our latest LED emergency lights use ultra-bright, energy-efficient diodes for superior performance. These models operate on low voltage and use maintenance-free NiCad, NiMH, or Lithium backup batteries—eliminating the need for bulky sealed lead-acid systems and reducing installation complexity.

Is your building ready for a power outage? Our emergency lighting with backup battery provides consistent illumination during blackouts—ideal for office buildings, warehouses, and retail environments. We also offer damp-location fixtures for covered outdoor areas and self-testing emergency lights that simplify maintenance routines.

What is an emergency light?  An emergency light functions as a safety device which turns on automatically to illuminate hallways and stairwells and exits when power fails. The majority of units depend on internal backup power systems but larger systems can use inverters or generators for operation.
