KEMP, Texas, Sept. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Industrial lighting leader, Larson Electronics LLC, announced the release of a new explosion proof LED exit sign light with a remote head approved for use in Class I, Class II and Class III locations. This emergency fixture produces a total of 99 lumens and operates for at least 90 minutes during a power outage, making this exit system ideal for emergency failsafe lighting in applications where explosion proof fixtures are required.
The EXP-EMG-EXT-LE6-1L from Larson Electronics is an explosion proof emergency LED exit sign that includes an LED exit sign equipped with a 1.1-watt LED lamp, an emergency battery backup and self-diagnostic system. The EXP-EMG-EXT-LE6-1L is a single sided exit sign with 4-inh letters and a backlit LED array that contains eight LEDs to illuminate the exit sign for easy identification.
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.
