Keystone Emergency Light, New York & Chicago Compliant - Bees Lighting
Chicago CompliantHigh OutputNYC Compliant

A high output emergency light is engineered to solve the challenge of illuminating vast, open interiors where standard fixtures fall short. With significantly brighter lamps and larger batteries, these units are the ideal solution for warehouse emergency lighting, gymnasiums, and big-box retail stores with high ceilings. While a standard unit might only light up a small hallway, a high lumen emergency light can project safety lighting across long aisles and wide manufacturing floors, ensuring the 1.0 foot-candle code requirement is met even from a distance.

Remote Capable Emergency Light Systems

One of the primary benefits of high output units is their ability to act as a central power hub.

  • Central Battery Unit: A remote capable emergency light contains a battery large enough to power its own lamp heads plus several additional remote heads installed elsewhere.
  • Reduced Maintenance: By using one high-output unit to power multiple remote heads, you reduce the total number of batteries in your building. This means fewer monthly tests and fewer batteries to replace over time.
  • Voltage Options: We offer models in 6V, 12V, and 24V configurations. Higher voltage systems allow you to run remote wires over longer distances without losing power.

Industrial Emergency Light Applications

Designed for the rigors of commercial use, our high output collection is built to perform in demanding environments.

  • High Ceilings: Powerful halogen or LED lamps are designed to be mounted high up on columns or walls and still cast sufficient light down to the egress path.
  • NEMA Ratings: Many of our industrial emergency light models are available with NEMA-rated enclosures for dust and water resistance in factory settings.
  • Heavy Duty Batteries: These units typically use Lead-Calcium or Nickel-Cadmium batteries with higher amp-hour ratings to sustain heavy loads for the required 90 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a standard and high output emergency light?

The main difference is the battery capacity and brightness. Standard units have just enough battery to power their own 2 heads for 90 minutes. A high output emergency light has a much larger battery (often 20W to 100W capacity) to power brighter bulbs or extra remote heads.

How many remote heads can I connect?

This depends on the wattage capacity of the unit. For example, if you buy a unit with 50 Watts of capacity and the unit itself uses 10 Watts, you have 40 Watts left over. If your remote heads use 2 Watts each, you can power 20 remote heads. You must always do the math to ensure you don't overload the battery.

Why would I use a 12V or 24V unit instead of 6V?

Voltage drop. If you need to run wires a long distance (e.g., across a large warehouse) to reach remote heads, 6V power can fade before it gets there, causing dim lights. 12V and 24V systems can push power much further through the wire without losing brightness.

Are these lights LED?

We offer both. Modern high lumen emergency lights use efficient LEDs to get maximum brightness with smaller batteries. However, some industrial applications still prefer traditional halogen lamps for their ability to punch through fog or dust.

Do they come with the remote heads?

Usually, no. The high output unit (the master unit) is sold separately. You purchase the specific number and type of remote heads you need to connect to it based on your building's layout.
