Description
Hanging Exit Light often referred to as a Ceiling-Mount Exit Sign or Pendant Exit Light is a specialized type of emergency exit sign designed to be suspended from the ceiling. Its primary function is to clearly and visibly mark an exit pathway, especially in large open spaces, high-ceiling environments, or areas where wall-mounting might be less effective or visually obstructed.
Features:
- Suspended Mounting: This is its defining characteristic. Instead of being flush-mounted on a wall, it hangs down from the ceiling via a rigid conduit, chain, or adjustable stem. This ensures the sign is clearly visible from a distance, even with varying ceiling heights or architectural features.
- Double-Sided “EXIT” Signage: Almost universally, hanging exit lights are double-faced (displaying “EXIT” on both sides). This allows the sign to be seen from multiple directions as occupants approach an egress point in an open area or long corridor.
- LED Technology: Primarily uses energy-efficient and long-lasting LEDs for bright, consistent illumination of the “EXIT” legend green
- Visibility: Ensures the sign is easily readable even in smoky conditions or crowded environments.
- Emergency Power Backup: Integrates a rechargeable, maintenance-free battery Cad or In the event of an AC power failure, the battery automatically powers the sign’s illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes.
- Durable Construction: The housing is typically made from injection-molded, fire-retardant thermoplastic or sometimes durable metal, providing impact resistance and ensuring the unit’s integrity during an emergency.
