Power outages usually occur without much warning, requiring a critical need for emergency lights to be properly installed to switch on at any given moment’s warning around the clock. Although usually not installed for mere aesthetic appeal, emergency lights are greatly appreciated as practical lighted guides leading away from otherwise potentially unexpected perilous situations.

Heavy Duty Wet Location Emergency Lights are NEMA 4X rated and can be ordered with a battery heater for freezing locations.

Most residential households are not required by inspectors to install emergency lightning upon new home construction, however, industry and other commercial buildings are required to install cutting-edge waterproof emergency lights by code. 

A main electrical supply found in a home or building is responsible for maintaining the battery charge and upon a mainline power failure, the light is automatically turned on. There are several types of emergency lighting and several different applications for such.

Emergency lighting can be found inside corridors to light the way, or outdoors it can be used to light panels or other switch gear during power failures. In residential buildings emergency lighting is used primarily around breaker panels to light the way for emergency repairs.

Waterproof emergency light fixtures are designed for all types of wet locations, including areas that feature freezing temperatures. Heavy duty wet location emergency lights can be ordered with a battery heater which allows the light to illuminate when temps drop below 32 degrees F.

Emergency Light Importance

Standby emergency lighting is meant to provide backup illumination during service disruption. In commercial applications, standby emergency lights are used to light escape routes during situations where power may be disrupted, such as fires or floods. Almost all commercial buildings can benefit from this application; however this is an option that is limitless in possibility. In areas exposed to the elements, waterproof emergency lights are a great solution which will provide the proper illumination in the dampest of areas. Waterproof emergency lights are weatherproof and rated for outdoors use.

Fluorescent Waterproof Emergency Lights

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

There has been some concern about the use of fluorescent fixtures in extremely humid environments however. Research into certain types of fluorescent lights has revealed that due to the complexity of these fixtures, humidity may cause these fixtures to fail to light.

In these cases, manufacturers have begun to hermetically seal these fluorescent tubes to prevent any moisture from entering the bulb and thus made fluorescent fixtures reliable enough to be used for emergency lighting in areas otherwise requiring a waterproof solution. This is of great benefit as fluorescent fixtures generally produce a larger amount of light.

Waterproof Emergency Lighting Applications

There are an almost limitless number of applications for waterproof emergency lighting. No longer are they reserved for areas of crisis prevention and can be incorporated into everyday lighting solutions while going unnoticed to the casual observer. Technology has even allowed for lighting to be installed into shower heads thus making it safe for someone caught in a power outage while taking a shower.

Waterproof lights have come a long way in aesthetic beauty as well. Gone are the days of the dual spotlight emergency fixture as many buildings are taking advantage of the newest options. Technology and design has made it possible for office building, and homes to enjoy a level of safety, while at the same time, not impairing the simple beauty of the architectural design.
