Die-Cast Aluminum LED Exit & Emergency Combo - Letter-Color: Red

Die-Cast Aluminum LED Exit & Emergency Combo — Dual 3 W Heads, Red/Green Legend, 3 W RC (Opt.), 120/277 V — Features & Specs

The CKXTEU die-cast aluminum LED exit & emergency combo blends a clean architectural profile with robust, code-ready performance. A field-selectable red or green EXIT legend is paired with two precision 3 W LED heads to deliver wide, uniform egress illumination for corridors, stair landings, and lobby transitions. For projects that need a little extra light just beyond the doorway, specify the optional 3 W remote-capacity driver to power a nearby remote head.

Key Features

• UL 924 listed combo; damp-location rated (0–50 °C / 32–122 °F).
• Field-selectable red/green EXIT legend with uniform, glare-controlled illumination.
• Two adjustable 3 W LED lamp heads with optics tuned for wide corridor distribution.
• Dual-voltage 120/277 V input; charge-status LED and push-to-test for simple checks.
• 8.4 V Ni-Cd battery provides a minimum 90-minute emergency runtime.
• Solid-state transfer and two-rate automatic charger (~24 h full recharge).
• Optional RC: up to 3 W of remote-head capacity for nearby coverage.
• Convertible single / double face; snap-out chevrons for field arrowing.
• Rugged die-cast aluminum enclosure in natural, white, or black powder-coat.
• Mounting flexibility: top/end canopy or wall via universal backplate.
• 5-year electronics/housing warranty; battery 5-year prorated. Meets NFPA 101, NEC, OSHA; CEC Title 20 compliant.

Applications & Design Notes

Specify CKXTEU when you need a premium, architectural-grade combo that can take a bump, hold color, and still present a refined silhouette. The die-cast housing resists warping and UV yellowing better than commodity thermoplastic, making it a natural fit for public-facing interiors: elevator banks, atriums, retail galleries, and amenity corridors. Its 3 W heads strike a practical balance—enough punch for 8–10 ft mounting heights and long corridor throws, without the glare penalty of oversized optics. Where a doorway turns into a short vestibule or jogs around a corner, the RC 3 W option can feed a compact remote head to “patch” the dark spot from a near-by location. When a jurisdiction demands exceptionally rugged construction or heavy abuse tolerance, this die-cast build gives both specifiers and AHJs confidence.

In design development, decide early between single-face and double-face to match approach directions and avoid re-work in the field. Keep legend color consistent floor-by-floor for wayfinding continuity. When coordinating finishes with adjacent luminaires and hardware, the satin “natural” aluminum reads modern without calling attention to itself; white integrates with painted ceilings and trim; black grounds darker palettes or contrasts white walls for easy legibility. For photometric planning, aim both heads slightly down-corridor and overlap beams at the landing to minimize scallops and improve vertical illuminance at the door leaf.

Illumination

• Uniform, high-contrast EXIT legend for clear visibility through smoke-dimmed conditions.
• Dual 3 W heads deliver wide lateral spread and controlled verticals for door thresholds and landings.
• Use RC 3 W to power a small remote head where a corridor jog creates a shadow pocket.

Electrical

• Universal 120/277 V input with bi-color status LED and push-to-test control.
• 8.4 V Ni-Cd battery; 90-minute minimum emergency operation.
• Solid-state transfer with two-rate automatic charging (approx. 24 h to full).
• RC output (optional): up to 3 W aggregate budget—size remote head watts and wiring to remain within limit.

Mounting

• Top/End: die-cast canopy included; mates to common J-box patterns.
• Wall: universal backplate with knockout pattern for fast surface mounting.
• Recommended install height: 8–12 ft for typical egress paths (verify per layout).

Housing / Finish

• Heavy-duty die-cast aluminum body resists impact and heat; stable powder-coat finishes (natural, white, black).
• Quick-snap faceplate for below-ceiling service; convertible single/double-face in the field.

Options

• RC — adds 3 W remote output for remote lighting heads.

Certifications / Warranty

• UL 924 listed for damp locations (0–50 °C).
• Meets NFPA 101, NEC, and OSHA; CEC Title 20 compliant.
• 5-year warranty on housing & electronics; Ni-Cd battery 5-year prorated.

Dimensions

• 12 ½" W × 11 ½" H × 2 9/16" D (approx. 5 ½" overall depth including heads).

Installation & Selection Tips

• Beam aiming: Start with both heads slightly down-corridor; fine-tune to overlap beams at door thresholds and landings to reduce scalloping.
• Face & chevrons: Choose double-face where approach is bi-directional; set chevrons during rough-in and document arrowing in submittals.
• Finish coordination: Match powder-coat to door hardware/trim for a cohesive look; natural aluminum complements stainless details.
• RC budgeting: Keep remote load = 3 W; use short runs and appropriate gauge to limit voltage drop.
• Testing cadence: Allow a full charge after energizing before the first 90-minute discharge test; log monthly function and annual duration tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pick CKXTEU when you want a more durable, architectural housing that resists impact and heat, holds finish quality, and presents a refined profile in public-facing interiors.

Specify the RC version and power a nearby remote head whose rated watts keep the total = 3 W. Use short runs and appropriate gauge to limit voltage drop.

Yes. It ships single-face and is field-convertible to double-face. Set chevrons during rough-in to match approved egress direction.

It is UL 924 listed for damp locations from 0–50 °C (32–122 °F).

The 3 W heads typically offer more punch than 0.5–1.1 W thermoplastic variants, supporting longer throws at typical 8–10 ft mounting heights without resorting to very large optics.
