FAQs About Wet Location Emergency Lights
What is a wet location emergency light?
It's an emergency lighting fixture certified to operate safely in environments exposed to rain, hose-down spray, or direct moisture. These lights are UL wet-location rated and fully sealed against water ingress.
Where are wet-location emergency lights typically used?
Common installation areas include parking decks, outdoor stairwells, walk-in freezers, industrial wash-down zones, and any exterior location exposed to the elements.
Do these emergency lights meet code requirements?
Yes. All models are UL 924 listed and compliant with NFPA 101 and OSHA life safety code requirements, including 90 minutes of emergency egress runtime.
Can they handle freezing temperatures?
Many models include low-temperature battery packs or internal heaters for reliable operation in cold-storage areas, freezers, or outdoor structures during winter months.
Do wet-location units include battery backup?
Yes. All models feature a sealed internal battery backup that activates during power outages. See our full battery backup emergency light collection for more options.
Are self-testing models available?
Absolutely. Many self-testing emergency lights are also wet-location rated, making code-required inspections easier in hard-to-reach or high-mount environments.
Do these lights turn on at night or by motion?
No. Wet-location emergency lights activate only during emergencies, such as power failures or fire alarm events. For lighting with motion sensors or dusk-to-dawn control, explore our wall pack light collection.
