High Lumen Emergency Lights

High-lumen emergency lights are standalone, high-output luminaires (≈600–1,600 lm per unit) engineered to cover long aisles, tall stair towers, and large rooms with fewer fixtures—while still meeting 90-minute life-safety requirements. Mount higher, space wider, and maintain code-level brightness along the path of egress. See all emergency lights, or for outdoor and wash-down areas compare wet-location emergency lights.

Buyers Guide Tips

What to Look for in High-Lumen Emergency Lights

  • Photometrics at height: Match output (≈600–1,600 lm) and optics to your ceiling height and aisle width; use spacing charts to hit code foot-candles at the 90-minute mark—not just at initial output.
  • Optics & aiming: Pick symmetric beams for open areas and asymmetric for long runs; lock head aim to wash landings and corridor floors without glare on glossy finishes or glass.
  • Power & battery: Verify 120/277 VAC input, recharge time, and battery chemistry (Ni-Cd/Li) meet site ambient; add heater options for cold spaces to preserve 90-minute capacity.
  • Remote-capable planning (select): If driving remote heads, match circuit voltage, budget total watts (on-board + remotes), and check voltage drop to the farthest head at end-of-discharge.

In tall bays and long corridors, place high-lumen emergency lights where heads can wash the floor evenly, then lock aim and verify foot-candles at the 90-minute mark (not just at initial output). Use manufacturer spacing charts or photometric files for your mounting height and aisle width; for glossy floors or glass walls, prefer asymmetric optics to reduce glare and hot spots.

Plan maintenance and runtime early: keep the status LED and push-to-test visible from the floor, consider self-testing for monthly/annual checks, and confirm ambient temperature vs. battery chemistry (add heaters for cold storage). When one central unit must extend coverage, select models that are remote-capable and budget total watts (on-board + remotes) with voltage-drop to the farthest head.

High-Lumen Emergency Lights - Specs & Features

  • Output & optics: High-output LED heads (≈600–1,600 lm per unit) with symmetric/asymmetric beams; use spacing charts to maintain code foot-candles at the 90-minute point.
  • Mounting & height: Designed for higher mounting elevations and wider spacing in long aisles, tall bays, and large rooms; locking adjustments keep aim stable after commissioning.
  • Power & runtime: 120/277 VAC input, documented recharge time, and battery chemistries (Ni-Cd/Li) matched to ambient; heater packages available for cold storage to preserve 90-min capacity.
  • Remote-capable (select): Circuits for low-voltage remote heads; budget total watts (on-board + remotes) and verify end-of-discharge brightness at the farthest head with voltage-drop accounted for.
  • Service & diagnostics: Floor-visible status LED and push-to-test; self-testing options automate monthly function and annual full-duration checks.

FAQs About High-Lumen Emergency Lights

When should I choose high-lumen emergency lights instead of standard units?

Use high-lumen models for tall bays, wide corridors, gyms, and warehouses where you need higher mounting heights and wider spacing. One high-output unit can often replace multiple standard lights while still delivering code foot-candles at 90 minutes.

How do I verify spacing at my ceiling height?

Check the manufacturer’s photometric files or spacing charts for your exact mounting height and aisle width. Aim heads, then field-verify with a light meter at the 90-minute mark—don’t size layouts from initial output alone.

Any tips to reduce glare on glossy floors or glass walls?

Select asymmetric optics for long runs, mount so heads wash the floor at a shallow angle, and avoid aiming directly at reflective surfaces. Lock adjustments after commissioning to keep the beam where it belongs.

Can high-lumen units drive remote heads?

Some models are remote-capable. Match circuit voltage, add the watts for on-board plus remote heads, account for voltage drop to the farthest head, and confirm brightness at end-of-discharge.
