UL 924 LED Legend 90-Min Battery 120/277V Damp/Wet Options Self-Testing Field Arrows

Most models include dual-voltage input (120/277 VAC), universal J-box mounting for wall or ceiling installs, and field-selectable directional arrows for clear egress marking. For humid or wash-down areas, choose damp- or wet-location rated variants; for easier compliance, select self-testing electronics that run monthly/annual diagnostics automatically.
