KEMP, Texas, July 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Industrial lighting leader, Larson Electronics LLC, announced the release of a new explosion proof LED exit sign light with a 1.1-watt remote light head and battery backup approved for use in Class I, Class II and Class III locations. This self-testing emergency fixture operates for at least 3 hours during a power outage, making this exit system ideal for emergency failsafe lighting in national and overseas applications where explosion proof fixtures are required.
The EXP-EMG-EXT-LE6-2L-RH from Larson Electronics is an explosion proof emergency LED exit sign that includes a 1.1-watt LED lamp, an additional remote light head, an emergency battery backup and self-diagnostic system. The backlit LED array contains eight LEDs to illuminate the exit sign for easy identification. A special remote light head allows users to direct the illumination where desired such as directly over the exit doorway, towards a nearby exit route or to simply illuminate the general exit area.
This emergency exit unit features self-testing and a backup emergency battery for failsafe reliability, which will run for a minimum of 3 hours after a power failure with the help of a 3.6-volt NiCad chargeable battery. The battery requires just 24 hours to fully recharge and is completely maintenance free with a life expectancy of 15 years. The emergency battery includes a low voltage disconnect to protect deep discharge and damage if voltage drops below normal load.
This explosion proof emergency LED exit sign includes brown-out, short circuit and voltage surge protection. The EXP-EMG-EXT-LE6-2L-RH is designed for surface mounting and made of copper free aluminum. The fixture operates on 120/277V AC at 60Hz and is rated for Class I, Divisions 1 & 2, Groups A, B, C, D, Class I, Zones 1 & 2, Groups IIB+H2, Class II, Divisions 1 & 2, Groups E, F, G and Class III Divisions 1 & 2 hazardous areas.
