Applications & Design Notes
Use the DEM when you need an understated architectural emergency light without bulky heads or boxy housings. Its slim body sits close to finished surfaces and blends with minimalist interiors. The adjustable optics let you push light down long corridors or widen coverage in lobby spaces. For outdoor or hose‑down areas, compare dedicated weatherproof units under damp‑location emergency lights.
- When appearance matters: DEM’s low projection and smooth face keep sightlines clean in public‑facing spaces.
- When wiring is tight: The universal J‑box pattern and top/side ½" knockouts simplify retrofit feeds.
- When layouts vary: Start with the design‑aid spacing (50 ft @ 3 ft path at 12 ft MH), then refine with a site photometric.

Selection, Layout & Testing Tips
- Photometric check: Treat the 50 ft spacing as a starting point and validate with a site‑specific layout, especially in wide corridors or spaces with dark finishes.
- Mounting height: DEM is optimized around 12 ft MH; at lower heights, tighten spacing to maintain minimum foot‑candle targets along the path of egress.
- Maintenance: Use the push‑to‑test monthly and log results, or specify SDT for automated test intervals (monthly, 6‑month, annual).
- Aesthetics: Position DEM to align with other wall devices (stats, panels) for a clean datum line in design‑sensitive spaces.
