Collection: Exitronix

Self-testing Exitronix fixtures automatically perform the monthly and annual tests required by the NFPA Life Safety Code. They run self-checks on the battery and lamps and display a visual status indicator, which significantly reduces the time and labor required for manual testing and maintenance.

No, Exitronix designs its products with the installer in mind. Many fixtures feature tool-less access, universal mounting patterns, and quick-connect components to make installation as fast and straightforward as possible.

A maintained emergency light can be used as a normal light fixture that stays on continuously and will switch to battery power during an outage. A non-maintained light remains off and only illuminates when the main power supply fails. Exitronix offers both types to suit different needs.

Exitronix offers a variety of exit signs and emergency lights specifically designed and rated for challenging environments. Look for models with "wet location" or "NEMA 4X" ratings, which are built with sealed, corrosion-resistant housings to withstand moisture and outdoor conditions.

Exitronix uses high-quality, long-life batteries, typically Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) or Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), designed for reliability. While battery life can vary based on environmental conditions, they are engineered for a long service life and are field-replaceable to extend the fixture's usability.

All Exitronix products are designed and tested to meet or exceed applicable codes and standards including UL 924, NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), IBC (International Building Code), and OSHA requirements. This ensures code-compliant installations that will satisfy local fire authority inspections in commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings.

NFPA 101 requires two mandatory tests: a 30-second functional test monthly and a 90-minute full-discharge test annually. Self-testing Exitronix models automate both tests and log results, eliminating the need for manual testing and reducing facility manager workload. Documentation of test results must be maintained for inspection purposes.

Both red and green exit signs are code-compliant under NFPA 101 and UL 924 in the United States. Red is the traditional standard and most common in North America. Green is required in some international jurisdictions and is increasingly preferred in new construction for its association with safety and go signals. Always verify your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements before specifying a color.

Yes, Exitronix remote lamp heads are designed to connect to compatible emergency lighting units to extend illumination into hard-to-reach or secondary egress areas. This allows a single central unit to power multiple remote heads, reducing installation costs while ensuring comprehensive coverage throughout a facility.

Exit signs mark the location of egress doors and must be visible at all times. Emergency lights illuminate the path of egress during a power failure. Combination units integrate both functions into a single fixture, saving space and installation time. For most commercial applications, a combination of dedicated exit signs at doors and emergency lights along egress paths is required. Combination units are ideal where both functions are needed at the same location.
