OVERVIEW
What Is A 'Light Emergency'
Light emergency is a term that is commonly searched by those interested in purchasing an emergency light fixture. Emergency light fixtures are safety lighting devices that aid the safe egress, or exiting, of building occupants during an emergency where AC electrical power is lost. When electrical power to a building is lost, the normal lighting system shuts down, leaving those inside in the dark. In the case of an emergency, getting out of the building as quickly as possible is important, but without light to guide the way this proves difficult. Emergency light fixtures solve this problem by turning on and illuminating rooms and corridors so that exiting can happen in a safe and timely fashion.

Each emergency lighting fixture contains a battery backups system that provides the power for illumination. Emergency light fixtures are hard wired and while AC electrical power is on the units charge their battery backup systems so that the moment power is lost they are able to turn on and provide visual guidance. The battery packs inside emergency lights are capable of powering the units for at least 90 minutes, allowing ample time for building occupant egress. Emergency lighting fixtures are tested and certified for quality and reliability by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). All emergency lighting fixtures come with a UL 924 Listing, which guarantees their capability and code compliance with federal, state, and local building and fire code regulations.
When deciding what type of emergency lighting fixtures to purchase consider your application. If you have a simple installation of one or a handful of units and affordability is a factor, the TES-EL-1 emergency light will work perfectly. Constructed from sturdy white or black ABS thermoplastic, the TES-EL-1 installs easily onto your ceiling or wall and comes with two powerful incandescent lamp heads that are easy to position. The TES-EL-1 , along with all of our emergency lighting fixtures, comes with a push-to-test button for easy confirmation of the battery backup system's functionality. For a sleeker, lower profile look, the TES-LP-W-BB is a great choice. The fixed mount lamp heads and trapezoid shape blend well with most commercial interiors. If you need to install an emergency lighting fixture in a wet or outdoor location the TES-EL-MR-WL is the product for your application. The clear polycarbonate, fully gasketed housing keeps moisture and dust out while letting light shine through clearly.
