UL 924 LED Die-Cast Aluminum Battery Backup
Buyers Guide Tips
  • Housing & abuse: Die-cast aluminum resists impacts and warping; choose for high-traffic or public areas where plastic can crack.
  • LED output & optics: Pick higher-lumen heads or wide optics for long corridors and open areas; aim heads to overlap light at floor level.
  • Runtime & testing: Standard runtime is 90 minutes; add self-testing (SDT) to automate monthly/annual checks and reduce labor.
  • Environment: For exterior/harsh spaces, select wet-location/IP/NEMA versions; verify ambient temperature limits.
  • Wiring & power: Dual-voltage 120/277 VAC is typical; check remote-capable specs if feeding additional heads.
What are die-cast aluminum emergency lights? Metal-housed, LED egress fixtures with integrated batteries that run for at least 90 minutes during an outage—designed for durability, clean lines, and code-ready performance.

Need weather protection? Compare wet-location emergency lights for rain, spray, and wash-down areas.

Automation helps maintenance: browse self-testing emergency lights to streamline monthly/annual checks.

Die-Cast Aluminum Emergency Lights - rugged metal housings, LED, 90-min - Features & Specs

  • Housing / durability: Die-cast aluminum body with powder-coat finish; resists impacts, heat, and UV better than basic plastic.
  • Illumination: High-efficiency LED heads with adjustable aim for overlapping floor-level coverage; options for wide or long-throw optics.
  • Electrical: Dual-voltage 120/277 VAC input, solid-state charger, status LED, push-to-test; remote-capable variants available (check W at 90 min).
  • Runtime / testing: UL 924 90-minute minimum; optional self-diagnostics automates monthly and annual tests with simple fault codes.
  • Environment: Indoor/damp standard; select wet-location/IP/NEMA models for exterior or wash-down; cold-weather kits where required.
  • Mounting: Wall or ceiling surface-mount; recessed/architectural trims on select models; tamper-resistant hardware options.
  • Compliance: UL 924 listed; meets NFPA 101 egress illumination expectations when properly aimed and spaced.

FAQs About Die-Cast Aluminum Emergency Lights

Why choose die-cast aluminum for high-traffic areas?

The solid metal housing resists impacts, flexing, and UV better than basic plastic, so lenses and heads stay aligned and readable after bumps and routine cleaning.

Does the aluminum body help in warm mechanical rooms?

Yes. Aluminum conducts heat away from LEDs and drivers, reducing thermal stress. That typically means steadier output and fewer premature electronics failures in warm spaces.

Can I swap a thermoplastic unit for die-cast on the same J-box?

In most cases, yes. Die-cast models use standard junction boxes. Check canopy style and mounting hole pattern; many units include universal hardware to reuse existing penetrations.

Which finish holds up best in humid or coastal sites?

Powder-coated aluminum in white or bronze typically outlasts bare finishes in salty air. Pair with wet-location/IP-rated versions and stainless fasteners for maximum corrosion resistance.

Are tamper-resistant options available?

Yes. Many die-cast models support security screws and wire-guard accessories. They’re a smart add in gyms, transit areas, and other abuse-prone locations.

What should I verify on install day before commissioning?

Confirm housing is square and tight to the surface, heads are aimed to overlap floor light, gaskets are seated on wet-location models, and indicators show a full charge before running the acceptance test.
