Collection: Industrial Steel Emergency Lights

A steel emergency light is a heavy-duty fixture designed to withstand physical impact and harsh conditions that would destroy standard plastic units. While typical "bug eye" lights are made of lightweight thermoplastic, an industrial emergency light features a housing fabricated from 20-gauge steel. This rigid construction protects the internal battery and circuitry from damage in high-traffic areas like warehouses, manufacturing plants, and loading docks. By choosing steel, you ensure your safety lighting remains operational even in the face of accidental collisions or vibration.

Types of Metal Emergency Lights

Our collection offers various configurations to meet the specific demands of your facility:

• 20-Gauge Steel Units: The standard for industrial applications, offering superior strength and a clean, boxy aesthetic often preferred in commercial corridors.
• Vandal Resistant Models: Designed for schools and correctional facilities, a vandal resistant emergency light features tamper-proof screws and impact-resistant lenses to prevent unauthorized access or destruction.
• High Capacity Models: Many metal emergency light units are equipped with larger batteries, allowing them to power additional remote heads or provide longer runtimes.
• Chicago Approved: Specific steel models designed with glass panels and metal heads to meet the strict requirements of the City of Chicago building code.

Codes & Compliance Standards of Industrial Emergency Lights

Durability is critical, but compliance is mandatory. Our heavy duty emergency light selection is built to meet rigorous safety codes:

• UL 924 Listed: Certified to provide 90 minutes of emergency illumination during a power outage.
• City Mandates: Cities like Chicago and New York often prohibit plastic fixtures in certain buildings, requiring steel construction for fire resistance.
• NFPA 101: Meets the luminance and reliability standards for "means of egress" lighting in commercial and industrial occupancies.
