Tamper‑Resistant Emergency Lights – Rugged, Secure Lighting for High‑Abuse Environments
Tamper-resistant emergency lighting is built for public spaces and high-risk facilities where equipment must withstand physical abuse, vandalism, or environmental stress. Designed for use in transit centers, detention facilities, schools, restrooms, and stairwells, these fixtures provide reliable illumination during power outages while resisting impact and unauthorized access. Every unit is UL 924 listed and delivers a minimum of 90 minutes of emergency operation during power failure.
Constructed from durable materials such as die-cast aluminum, 20-gauge steel, or reinforced polycarbonate, these emergency lights feature sealed lenses, tamper-proof hardware, and secure battery compartments to deter misuse. Protective polycarbonate faceplates or Lexan shields add an extra layer of defense for the lighting heads, which are often adjustable and shielded to prevent tampering while still providing focused coverage of the egress path.
Many models are available with wet-location or IP65/NEMA 4X ratings, making them suitable for exposed exterior spaces or moisture-prone environments. Options include dual-voltage input (120/277 VAC), LED or MR16 lamp heads, and integrated self-testing diagnostics to streamline inspections and reduce manual maintenance.
These units are purpose-built for longevity and minimal upkeep. Push-to-test buttons, automatic fault detection, and rugged enclosures ensure the lights remain functional even after repeated impact or tampering. When reliability and security are critical, tamper-resistant emergency lights deliver consistent performance under pressure.
