Loading... Please wait...Emergency lights are attached to exit signs in a business facility, and are used to guide occupants of a business to an exit during the event of an emergency. In the event of a power failure, lighting within the facility would not function, obviously. Therefore, emergency lights are installed to provide illumination during the event of an evacuation emergency. Outdoor emergency lights are a special type of lighting that works in wet locations – such as outdoor facilities.
Outdoor emergency lights provide emergency lighting in outdoor facilities. Within outdoor locations, the potential for lighting damage is much greater due to weather hazards such as rain, snow, and sleet. Generic emergency lighting would easily damage under such conditions, so outdoor emergency lights are manufactured with waterproof and weather sealed parts that are able to block out rain and humidity. Another term that is used for outdoor emergency lights is “wet location lights.” Wet location lights are required by OSHA for facilities that have outdoor exit lighting installed.
The National Electric Code divides exterior lighting applications into two categories: damp locations, and wet locations.
Damp Locations
– Areas that are classified as damp locations are outdoors - but not in direct contact with rain. These locations are covered with awnings or partial roofs, and do not require the same level of protection as do wet locations.
Wet Locations
– Wet locations are areas that are in direct contact with rain, snow, or sleet. Such areas include uncovered outdoor work areas and exit gates without a roof or awning. For these areas, a high level of waterproof protection is needed for the emergency lighting in order to protect the lighting from wet elements.
Extreme Environments
Industrial outdoor emergency lights are also offered on our website. These emergency lights are highly durable, and also include a battery heater that can be used to eliminate excess moisture from the outside of the emergency lighting case.
