Wet Location Emergency Lights – Waterproof & Cold Weather Rated

Wet location emergency lights—also known as waterproof or weatherproof emergency lights—have made significant technological strides over the past decade. Today’s models feature durable, impact-resistant polycarbonate housings that offer exceptional protection against moisture, rain, and snow.

Cold Weather Applications Require Battery Heaters

For installations in areas where temperatures fall below 40°F, an internal battery heater is essential to ensure the emergency light's battery backup system functions reliably. Traditional models with heaters were limited to -4°F operation. However, we now offer a superior solution for even colder environments.

Rated for Extreme Cold: Down to -40°F

Our Extreme Emergency Light is built to handle the harshest conditions—rated for temperatures as low as -40°F. It’s ideal for outdoor and industrial environments with prolonged exposure to sub-zero climates.

Field-Tested Performance in Alaska

We recently completed two successful installations in Alaska using the Extreme Emergency Light. Both projects reported outstanding performance and long-term reliability, even during extended exposure to snow and freezing wind.

Why Choose a Wet Location Emergency Light?

  • IP-rated and sealed against moisture ingress
  • Resistant to rain, snow, and high humidity
  • Ideal for loading docks, parking garages, and outdoor pathways
  • Cold-weather options available with battery heaters down to -40°F
  • UL 924 listed and compliant with national fire codes

Whether you're working in a rainy climate or a frigid location like Alaska, our wet location emergency lights provide the rugged reliability you need for egress safety. Contact us to discuss your application or request a quote today!
