Buyers Guide Tips

What to Look for in Die-Cast Aluminum Emergency Lights

  • Housing & durability: Die-cast aluminum body, gasketed seams, impact-rated lens, and corrosion-resistant hardware.
  • NEMA/IP protection: Match enclosure rating to environment (e.g., wash-down, dust, or coastal exposure).
  • UL 924 runtime: Verified 90-minute egress illumination with compliant photometrics.
  • Optics & spacing: Adjustable LED heads and lumen package to cover corridors, aisles, and open areas.
  • Power & charging: Dual 120/277 VAC, solid-state charger, automatic transfer.
  • Battery chemistry: Ni-Cd, NiMH, or lithium selected for temperature range and lifecycle.
  • Remote capacity: Ability to power additional remote heads from one unit (confirm available watts/runtime).
  • Diagnostics: Self-testing option for automated monthly/annual checks.
What are die-cast aluminum emergency lights?
Fixtures built with precision-cast aluminum housings for enhanced impact resistance, corrosion protection, and thermal performance—delivering reliable, code-compliant egress lighting in demanding environments.

Ultra-bright LEDs and maintenance-free backup systems (Ni-Cd, NiMH, or lithium) provide at least 90 minutes of illumination during outages to meet NFPA 101 and OSHA life-safety requirements. Many models are remote-capable for powering additional heads from a single unit and offer self-testing diagnostics to automate monthly/annual inspections.

Die-cast aluminum housings deliver superior strength, heat dissipation, and long-term durability compared to standard plastics—ideal for warehouses, stair towers, parking structures, utility corridors, and light industrial sites. For hose-down or exposed locations, consider wet-location emergency lights or NEMA-rated emergency lights. If weight and budget are priorities, compare our thermoplastic emergency lights.

Die-Cast Aluminum Emergency Lights Spec Guide

Spec Snapshot

  • Compliance: UL 924 listed with a minimum 90-minute runtime; supports NFPA 101 egress requirements.
  • Housing & Finish: Rugged die-cast aluminum enclosure with powder-coat finish and corrosion-resistant fasteners; superior impact resistance versus thermoplastic.
  • Ingress & Durability: Sealed, gasketed design; many families offer NEMA/IP options for harsher environments and vandal-resistant lenses for public areas.
  • Optics & Output: High-efficacy LED heads with adjustable aim; verify lumens/beam pattern and corridor spacing at planned mounting height using manufacturer photometrics.
  • Battery & Electronics: Maintenance-free Ni-Cd / NiMH / lithium packs; solid-state charger with low-voltage disconnect, AC lockout, brownout detection, test button & status LED.
  • Power: Dual-voltage 120/277 VAC input; confirm knockout/conduit entries and wire routing for sealed installations.
  • Diagnostics: Self-testing versions automate monthly 30-second and annual 90-minute tests and report faults—ideal for high-ceiling or hard-to-access locations.
  • Mounting: Universal wall/ceiling backplates with keyholes/knockouts; ensure orientation for maximum sightlines and egress coverage in stair towers, garages, and corridors.
  • Remote-Capable Options: Select models can power additional remote heads—verify available remote wattage and resulting runtime on the product cut sheet.
  • Environment: For hose-down or exterior exposure, choose wet-location or NEMA/IP rated variants; for budget/lightweight needs, compare thermoplastic alternatives.

Die-Cast Aluminum Emergency Lights Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose die-cast aluminum over thermoplastic?

Die-cast housings offer superior durability, better heat dissipation, and resistance to impact and UV damage—ideal for heavy-duty and long-life applications.

Are these fixtures code-compliant?

Yes. Our models meet UL 924, NFPA 101, and OSHA requirements for 90-minute battery runtime and emergency light output standards.

Can these be installed outdoors?

Absolutely. Most units are wet-location rated and built to withstand moisture and harsh conditions.

Do die-cast units support self-testing?

Yes—many models offer self-diagnostic testing that performs monthly and annual checks automatically, reducing maintenance time and cost.

What types of batteries do these lights use?

Most units are equipped with NiCad, NiMH, or Lithium batteries. Lithium provides faster charging and a longer lifespan in compact form factors.

Can I use these in high-traffic commercial areas?

Yes. Their vandal-resistant and impact-rated housings make them ideal for schools, gyms, warehouses, and public buildings.
