Steel Emergency Lights

Steel emergency lights are commercial-grade egress luminaires built with a vandal-resistant, durable housing that shields the electronics and LED heads from impact and abuse. These heavy-duty units deliver bright, code-required illumination for 90 minutes during outages—ideal for stairwells, warehouses, gyms, and transit areas. Explore all emergency lights, or extend coverage from a single power source with remote-capable emergency lights.

Buyers Guide Tips

What to Look for in Steel Emergency Lights

  • Housing & abuse rating: Choose commercial-grade steel enclosures with tamper-resistant hardware and impact-tolerant lenses to keep heads protected in high-traffic or vandal-prone areas.
  • Egress performance at 90 min: Match lumen class and optics to corridor/stair width; aim heads and verify foot-candles at end-of-discharge—not just at initial output.
  • Power & service: Confirm 120/277 VAC, brownout/LVD, documented recharge time, and accessible indicator/test; auto-diagnostics on select models simplify monthly/annual checks.

Built for abuse-prone sites, steel emergency lights keep egress illumination on when impacts and vibration are a given. Mount units where heads can cross-light stairs and corridors, then lock aim and verify foot-candles at the 90-minute mark. Use tamper-resistant fasteners and wire guards where equipment is within reach.

Plan power and service from day one: land conduit on reinforced knockouts, label circuits and test dates at the fixture, and place the status LED and push-to-test where they’re readable from the floor. Front-service layouts speed battery swaps without disturbing head alignment.

FAQs About Steel Emergency Lights

How do I keep steel emergency light heads from being knocked out of aim?

Specify units with locking-adjustment heads and tighten to spec after commissioning. In high-abuse zones, add wire guards and mount slightly above reach where practical, then re-verify foot-candles at 90 minutes.

What should I plan for mounting and anchors on heavier, commercial-grade housings?

Confirm junction-box pattern and substrate; use listed anchors appropriate to concrete/block/steel studs. Land conduit on reinforced knockouts and follow torque specs on tamper-resistant screws to prevent housing flex.

Can a steel emergency light power additional remote heads?

Only if the model is remote-capable. Match output voltage, add the watts for on-board lamps plus remotes, and ensure the battery supports the total for the full 90 minutes; verify brightness at the furthest head.
