Exit Light

An exit light generally refers to an exit sign. An exit sign is a sign that marks the exit pathway and guides patrons to the outside of a building during an emergency. Exit signs feature the word “EXIT” illuminated by a light source. Exit signs remain operational during emergencies by using compact battery backup systems that power the sign when AC power is lost. Illuminated exit signs are required by state and federal building codes.[-pic]

Greentorch manufactures many different types of exit signs. Our most popular exit signs are LED (light emitting diode) models. LEDs provide powerful and even illumination and use less than five watts electricity per sign. Greentorch LEDs last 8 to 10 years and thus have minimal maintenance costs. Greentorch LED exit signs use electricity to operate and charge their battery backup systems in preparation for emergency operation. The EXIT series is our most affordable model and features universal mounting capability and single or double-faced configurations.

If electricity is not accessible at your installation location than consider installing a Greentorch non-electrical exit sign. Our non-electrical exit signs save the cost of hiring an electrician and are fully code compliant. Our photoluminescent exit signs use glow-in-the-dark technology and last for up to 25 years. Our self-luminous exit signs are the most universally applicable exit sign available, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

An exit light can also refer to an emergency light. Emergency lights are used in addition to exit signs and provide illumination along the exit pathway, making it easier for people to find their way out of a building during an emergency. Most emergency lights feature two lamp heads and a battery backup system, similar to those used in exit signs. Emergency lights are required by state and federal building codes unless your building has a power generator that keeps the electricity running when AC power is lost.

Greentorch manufactures many different types of emergency lights. Our most popular models are affordable and compact. We offer a number of recessed emergency lights that do not take any aesthetic away from your interior décor. If you need to run multiple lamp heads from one unit, consider our commercial grade line that features battery capacities up to 400 watts. If the emergency light is being placed outdoors you will need to purchase a wet location model that is waterproof. Snow and freezing temperature environments require an internal heater to be installed inside the unit to maintain battery functionality.
