Fluorescent lights, in general, have a higher lumen per watt output than incandescent or halogen light bulbs. This means fluorescent lights require less electricity (watts) to produce the same amount of light (lumens) as an incandescent or halogen bulb.

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 operate when AC power to a building is lost. Emergency light batteries inside the fixtures constantly charge and are prepared to provide illumination power when the building's electrical system fails. Emergency light battery backup systems provide a minimum 90 minutes of illumination.

By utilizing fluorescent illumination, the size of the emergency light battery can be decreased and changed to a more efficient type. Instead of a typical lead acid emergency light battery, a nickel cadmium emergency light battery can be use. Ni-Cad batteries are much more compact than lead acid models and last for 5-7 years (lead acid last for 3-5).

Since smaller batteries can be used, the emergency run time for a fluorescent emergency light can be extended without making the emergency lighting fixture bulky and obtrusive. Conventional incandescent emergency lights require large batteries to operate for more than 90 minutes after power is lost.

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

Some fluorescent emergency lights have the option of coming with Nickel Metal Hydride emergency light batteries. More efficient and compact than nickel cadmium batteries, NiMh powered emergency lights can last for hours on simply 1, 24-hour charge.

Fluorescent Emergency Light Appeal

Fluorescent emergency lights are designed to be functional and attractive. Our higher-end fluorescent emergency light comes with the option for a recessed trimplate. This option allows the emergency light to be completely recessed into suspended ceiling or drywall surfaces.

Less Maintenance  - More Security

Fluorescent emergency lights require less maintenance than traditional fixtures because fluorescent light tubes last up to 100 times longer than an incandescent light bulb. Over a 10 year period, a fluorescent emergency lighting fixture most likely will not require one single fluorescent tube replacement.

Weatherproof and Waterproof Emergency Lighting

Fluorescent emergency lights come in a thermoplastic and polycarbonate enclosure that blends elements of design with security and reliability. A wet location rating is standard on our higher-end fluorescent emergency light.

Fluorescent emergency lights can be ordered with a variety of emergency lamp wattages, one of which will be right for your project. Some fluorescent emergency lighting fixtures can also be custom colored to your specification.
