Select models provide up to 20.8 W remote capacity to power additional heads along the path of egress, and options include self-diagnostics and cold-weather operation. Explore more exit sign and emergency combo fixtures and see our NEMA 4X / IP66 wet-location combos for related applications.
For classified industrial spaces and oil-gas process areas, HLCWLEZU configurations are available that meet Class I, Division 2 (Groups A–D) requirements (verify the exact model’s hazardous-location rating in submittals). For the broader assortment, browse our hazardous-location emergency lighting collection and compare Class I Division 2 solutions side-by-side.

Illumination
- Two adjustable MR16 LED heads (~3.3 W each) to “aim and wash” floors, doors, and corridor turns with uniform emergency light.
- LED EXIT legend with field-selectable red or green characters; chevrons snap out for directional compliance during punch-list.
Electrical
- 120/277 VAC universal input with magnetic test switch and bi-color status LED for quick diagnostics.
- 6 V / 12 V Ni-Cd on 12 W and 15 W models; sealed lead-acid (SLA) on 28 W heavy-duty configurations.
- Remote output selections: 4.8 W, 7.8 W, or 20.8 W (voltage matches the unit) to power compatible remotes on the same circuit.
- Solid-state transfer with 90-minute emergency runtime; two-rate charger targets ~24 h full recharge from depleted.
- Protective LVD/brownout features help maximize battery life in demanding facilities.
Mounting
- Gasketed back-plate for watertight wall mounting in wash-down bays, loading docks, or exposed entries.
- Snap-fit canopy for ceiling or end mount; field-configurable chevrons simplify final direction after rough-in.
- Conduit-ready knockouts support sealed entry and code-compliant wiring methods.
Housing / Lens
- UV-stabilized polycarbonate enclosure (gray) with stainless-steel hardware for impact, corrosion, and UV resistance.
- Perimeter gasket and sealed lens achieve IP66 ingress protection and NEMA 4X performance for hose-down applications.
Options
- SDT — self-testing combos perform automated function tests and simplify record-keeping.
- CW — cold-weather kit extends reliability for exterior doors and unconditioned spaces (low-temperature startup).
- TP — tamper-resistant hardware enhances security in public and industrial areas.
- NH — exit-only, remote-capable version without integral heads for clean fascias with distributed remotes.
Product Sketches & Dimensions
Overview — Sealed, wash-down-ready EXIT/EM combo with adjustable MR16 heads and field-selectable legend.
Dimensions — 14 ¾? W × 13 ?? H × 6? D (verify against the spec sheet for your exact configuration).
Where This Combo Shines
- Food & beverage processing: Hose-down-rated enclosure tolerates cleaning cycles; self-testing option streamlines compliance logs.
- Industrial corridors & pump rooms: Aim MR16s to “paint” floor paths and doorways; use remote-capable versions (7.8–20.8 W) to extend coverage with remote heads.
- Outdoor egress: IP66 sealing and stainless hardware handle wind-driven rain; add cold-weather packages for low-temperature starts.
- Classified (C1D2) areas — select models: Choose the hazardous-location configuration when Group A–D classification is required by the AHJ.
Design & Code Notes
- Spacing: Head wattage, mounting height, and surface reflectance determine spacing. Treat catalog spacing as a design aid; confirm with a point-by-point photometric layout.
- Remote loads: Match voltage (6 V or 12 V) between host unit and remotes; account for wire drop on long runs. See hazardous remote heads for C1D2 options.
- Chevron practice: Remove only the arrows you need, and maintain clear sightlines from the direction of egress travel.
- Maintenance: Use the magnetic test switch for monthly function checks; schedule the annual 90-minute test per NFPA 101.

The combo provides a minimum 90-minute operation per UL 924; the two-rate charger targets about 24 hours to full recharge after a deep discharge.
Which batteries are used?
Most 12–15 W configurations use Ni-Cd (6 V/12 V). High-capacity (~28 W) builds use sealed lead-acid (SLA). Check the submittal for your ordered model.
How much remote capacity is available?
Model dependent: 4.8 W, 7.8 W, or 20.8 W. The remote output voltage matches the unit’s battery, so pair with compatible remote heads.
Does it support cold-weather operation?
Yes. Specify the CW package for reliable starts down to about -20 °C (see spec).
Are the EXIT letters field-selectable?
Yes. Choose red or green during installation. Chevrons snap out to indicate direction as required.
Is the unit suitable for classified (hazardous) locations?
Select HLCWLEZU configurations are rated Class I, Division 2 (Groups A–D). Confirm the ordering code and label set for your AHJ. For the broader lineup, see our Class I Division 2 fixtures.
