Die-Cast Aluminum Emergency Lights

Die-cast aluminum emergency lights deliver rugged, code-ready egress illumination where plastic housings fall short. Precision-cast enclosures resist impact and abuse while high-output LED heads keep paths bright for at least 90 minutes—ideal for warehouses, docks, stairwells, and garages.

What to Look for in Die-Cast Aluminum Emergency Lights

  • Cast housing = real durability: Rigid, impact-resistant bodies keep head aim locked under vibration and abuse; powder-coat resists corrosion for stairwells, docks, and garages.
  • Photometrics at end-of-discharge: Size lumen package and beam spread to meet target foot-candles at 90 minutes—verify spacing by mounting height, not just initial output.
  • Thermal performance: Die-cast bodies act as heat sinks, improving LED and charger life in hot/cold sites; add low-temp kits where ambient dips below spec.

Built for tough sites, die-cast aluminum emergency lights use rigid, powder-coated housings that lock head aim and shrug off vibration, door slams, and cart traffic. The cast body doubles as a heat sink, helping LEDs and chargers run cooler and last longer in hot mechanical rooms and cold docks.

Before sign-off, confirm end-of-discharge light levels at your mounting height, not just at full charge. Specify wet-rated or gasketed cast enclosures for wash-down/exterior doors, and choose remote-capable models when you need supervised heads beyond the doorway. Front-access fasteners simplify battery changes in tight stair towers.

Die-Cast Aluminum Emergency Lights - Spec Guide

  • Cast chassis & thermal mass: Rigid, powder-coated aluminum housings resist impact/vibration and act as heat sinks—helping LEDs/chargers survive hot mezzanines and cold docks; specify gasketed cast doors for wet sites.
  • Egress light at 90 minutes: Choose head/lens packages to maintain ~≥1 fc avg / ≥0.1 fc min at end-of-discharge; verify spacing by mounting height and corridor width, not just initial lumens.
  • Power train & remotes: Universal 120/277 VAC, LVD/brownout protection, documented recharge time; on remote-capable models, confirm supervised remote output (voltage/watts) is included in test logic.
  • Service & hardware: Front-access fasteners for battery swaps in tight stairs; metal backplates keep head aim locked near doors; consider NEMA/IP ratings where wash-down or dust is present.

FAQs About Die-Cast Aluminum Emergency Lights

When should I choose die-cast aluminum over thermoplastic emergency lights?

Use die-cast when fixtures face abuse, vibration, or temperature extremes (warehouses, garages, doorways). Rigid housings keep head aim locked and resist cracking or warping common to plastic bodies.

Does the die-cast body improve thermal performance and component life?

Yes. The aluminum housing acts as a heat sink, helping LEDs and chargers run cooler. That thermal mass supports more stable output and can improve longevity in hot mezzanines or cold docks.

Any mounting or service considerations with heavier die-cast lights?

Verify J-box pattern and fastener pull-out for the added weight, and prefer front-access service where space is tight. Metal backplates and captive screws speed battery swaps without disturbing head alignment.
