Signs with
The majority of signs with systems are associated with exit signs. A is a system where a battery is constantly charged while connected to AC power. When AC power to the sign is lost during a power outage or other emergency, the becomes the source of power for the sign and keeps the unit illuminated. systems are an important component in electrical exit signs. They are required by building and fire codes to insure proper illumination during emergencies. systems are tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories to provide a minimum 90 minutes of emergency power.
The systems in Greentorch electrical exit signs use one of three types if batteries: , sealed lead acid, and sealed lead calcium. batteries are used in our smaller, basic models while sealed lead acid and sealed lead calcium are used in our larger, exit sign and emergency light units. Similar systems are used in our full line of .

A number of our commercial-grade models come with high capacity battery options for installation that require remote lamp heads to be installed. Remote head capacity allows the unit to provide emergency power to remote lamp heads that illuminate the exit pathway when AC power to the facility is lost. Remote head capacity is popular for installations where multiple lamp heads are needed, either indoors or out.
Remote head capacity is efficient because it eliminates the need for separate emergency lighting fixtures by incorporating their power source into one unit. Simply install a remote lamp head and then run conduit from the exit sign to the emergency lamp head. Greentorch manufactures a number of remote lamp heads, suitable for placement indoors, outdoors, and even corrosive environments.
