End Mount Emergency Lights

End mount emergency lights offer powerful, code-compliant illumination while keeping ceilings and walls clear—ideal for sidewall installations in hallways, stairwells, lobbies, and other tight spaces. These units typically deliver between 600 and 1600 lumens to meet NFPA 101 and IBC egress lighting standards, ensuring visibility of at least 1 foot-candle on average and 0.1 foot-candle minimum along exit paths for a full 90 minutes.

  • UL 924 Compliant
  • 600–1600 Lumen Output
  • 90-Min Battery Backup
  • Sidewall Mount Design
  • Self-Testing Option

Designed for efficiency and durability, end-mounted fixtures feature high-performance LEDs (20+ lm/W), glare-control optics, and tough thermoplastic or metal housings that hold up in demanding environments. Many models include self-testing diagnostics, universal 120/277V input, and remote-capable options to support additional lighting heads.

Whether you're outfitting a commercial corridor or an industrial facility, end-mounted units are a smart, space-saving solution that blends functionality with code compliance. Choose from standard, vandal-resistant, or wet-location rated models to fit your specific needs.

FAQs About End Mount Emergency Lights

Why choose an end-mounted emergency light?

End-mount units are designed for sidewall installation—perfect for areas where ceiling or top-mounting isn’t feasible. They’re ideal for corridors, door frames, and narrow wall spaces where lateral coverage is needed.

Do end-mounted lights meet NFPA and UL standards?

Yes. Quality end-mount emergency lights are UL 924 listed and comply with NFPA 101, providing ≥1 ft-candle average and ≥0.1 ft-candle minimum illumination for 90 minutes during a power outage.

How bright should they be?

Most models output 600 to 1600 lumens, which is more than enough to light egress paths in commercial, industrial, or institutional settings.

What types of batteries are included?

Units typically feature long-life lithium-ion or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries, both known for consistent performance and fast recharge times.

Can end-mount units support remote heads?

Yes. Remote-capable end-mounted units can power additional lighting heads, extending coverage to stairwells, turns, or extended hallways from a single fixture.

Are vandal-resistant or outdoor versions available?

Absolutely. End-mount lights come in vandal-proof housings and wet-location rated models to handle tampering, weather exposure, or harsh environments.

Do they include self-testing diagnostics?

Many models offer built-in self-testing that runs monthly and annual checks automatically, helping meet NFPA requirements with less manual labor.
