Emergency Lighting Inverters 
 
Emergency Lighting Inverters Description With the advent of new NFPA and life safety codes, the use of Emergency Lighting Inverters has now become common place. In order to supply the demand, Controlled Power Company has developed an entire line of no-break, power conditioning, NFPA and life safety code compliant, emergency lighting inverters. All of Controlled Power Company's emergency lighting inverters are listed to UL924/UL924a standards and are also NFPA 101 compliant.

An Emergency Lighting Inverter is often referred to as a "UPS (Uninterruptible Power System) for emergency lighting". This description is accurate for each of our emergency lighting inverter products, in that they are a true uninterruptible, no-break power supply.

When selecting an emergency lighting inverter (UPS for emergency lighting), it is mandatory that the system is UL924 listed. UL924 ensures that the battery backup system has passed several critical discharge and recharge tests which are required for life safety. UL924 Listed Emergency Lighting Inverters.

New York Approved

New York City requires that any exit signs and emergency lights:
  • Meets New York City Electrical Code (meets UL certification)
  • NFPA & OSHA require initial illumination of 1 foot-candle and a minimum at any point of 0.1 foot-candle. New York City emergency lighting requires TWICE that (an average of 2 foot-candle or 22 lux and a minimum at any point of 0.2 foot-candle or 2.15 lux measured along the path of egress at floor level). This is why The Exit Light Company recommend emergency lights with nine (9) watts on each head. Since even with the requirement for brighter lighting, the minimum standard of 90 minutes of run-time on battery backup power is in effect, NYC Code approved emergency lights are heavy-duty units with larger batteries.
  • The letters of exit signs and exit sign/emergency light combos are mandated to be red.
  • The height of letters shall be not less than 6 inches (152 mm), except that in Group A (theaters and concert halls) and Group R-1 (Shelters, Fraternity & Sorority Houses) occupancies letters shall be not less than 8 inches (203 mm) high. A change from previous years, now U.S. standard 6" exit signs are acceptable in most locations, but certain locales still require 8" exit signs.
  • All signs shall be of metal or other durable materials.
  • All high-rise buildings require photoluminescent exit path markings for egress routes.

Sealed Lead Acid (SLA)

SLA batteries are the most reliable and widely used power source. They can recharge much faster than a flooded lead acid battery, and the calcium added to their plates helps reduce water loss. Sealed lead acid batteries can recycle the gases they produce and can prevent damage to the battery when the charge rate is controlled. These batteries must always be kept in upright positions and protected from leakage.
