Fluorescent emergency lights are more efficient and last longer than conventional emergency light fixtures. Less maintenance - affordable price.

How does this apply to emergency lights?

Emergency lights function when main power to a building is cut. Emergency light batteries inside the fixtures are always charging and are constantly ready and prepared to provide emergency light when the power in the building fails. Required by code all emergency light battery backup systems must provide a minimum 90 minutes of emergency illumination.

By using fluorescent lights, the size of the emergency light battery can be smaller and swapped to a more efficient kind. Instead of a standard lead acid emergency light battery which only last 3-5 years, a nickel cadmium emergency light battery can be used. Ni-Cad batteries are much more compact than lead acid models and last for 5-7 years.

Since smaller batteries can be utilized, the emergency run time for a fluorescent emergency light can be made longer without making the emergency lighting fixture bulkier than it is already. Conventional incandescent emergency lights need bigger batteries to funtion for more than 90 minutes when power is cut to the building.

This fluorescent emergency light has it all - self-testing diagnostics, wet location rating, and recessed trimplate option.

Some fluorescent emergency lights have the choice of coming with Nickel Metal Hydride emergency light batteries. They are more efficient and compact than nickel cadmium batteries, NiMh powered emergency lights can last for hours with one simple 24 hour charge.

Fluorescent Emergency Light Appeal
