The baseplate of the fixture is crafted from 16-gauge cold-rolled steel and features four-point mounting holes and a wireway hole for flexible installation. Finished with a white TGIC polyester powder coat through a five-stage pre-treatment process, the baseplate is tested to withstand 1,000 hours of salt spray and achieves 92% reflectance, ensuring both corrosion resistance and visual performance. The electrical system operates on 12V AC or DC and includes field-adjustable emergency lamps, powered by external 12VDC power supplies as provided by Kenall METEC, METEL, or METELHC, enabling scalable and reliable emergency lighting configurations.
A die-cut closed-cell neoprene gasket seals the lens and housing to the mounting surface, providing protection against moisture, dust, and tampering. The one-piece wraparound lens and housing are made from UV-stabilized, high-impact virgin injection-molded polycarbonate, with a nominal thickness of 0.120 inches, combining durability with optical clarity. Four stainless steel Torx® fasteners with center pins secure the lens and housing to the baseplate, reinforcing tamper resistance and ensuring a stable, long-lasting installation.
Installation requires standard four-point mounting to maintain the Peace of Mind Guarantee®, offering assurance of secure and reliable fixture placement. Certified by UL and CUL for wet locations, the fixture meets or exceeds UL924 and NFPA 101 standards, ensuring compliance with emergency egress and safety codes.
