Product Characteristics

PRODUCT OVERVIEW: The CREM Recessed Emergency Light has a one of a kind aesthetic with the performance and dependability of Halogen MR16 lamps. The CREM can be installed into both ceilings and walls and protrudes only 1/2” from the surface, making it almost flush. The CREM is made from 20-gauge steel and impact resistant polycarbonate cover the lamps. The CREM comes with three different installation options. The CREM comes standard with sheetrock installation capability. Optional bar hanger kit is available for mechanical ceilings. The third install option is for suspended ceilings and comes with a 2’x2’ faceplate. The CREM comes standard with a maintenance free Sealed Lead Calcium battery. The CREM with remote operation capability enables the unit to receive battery backup power from a remote source. Intelli-Charge self-diagnostics are standard. White and black finishes are standard; custom colors are available, call for pricing. Utilizes 12v DC electrical power source. UL 924 Listed.

CONSTRUCTION: Backbox constructed of 14 gauge galvanized steel. 2’ x 2’ faceplate constructed of 1/8” thick aluminum for strength and light weight. Available in white or black powder coated finishes. Use structural support wire or bar hanger kit (available separately) to complete installation. For suspended ceiling installation only.

ILLUMINATION: Illumination is provided by two high performance 35-watt MR-16 lamps combined with a patented reflector system. Optical assemblies can be rotated from 0° to 90° for corner installations. The CREM generates an average of 1 footcandle of emergency illumination over a 6’ x 90’ path of egress with a mounting height of 10’ AFF. The lamps remain hidden during emergency illumination. IES photometric data files are available upon request.


BATTERY TECHNOLOGY: Maintenance free, sealed lead calcium batteries Supplies 90 minutes of emergency power Estimated service life of 5 years at an operating temperature range of 65°F (19°C) to 85°F (30°C).

INSTALLATION: The CREM’s aluminum faceplate allows direct ceiling tile replacement. Openings are provided in the housing for structural support wire and bar hanger support. Multiple knockouts are provided for conduit entry.

Question : What is and do I need the battery backup option for my emergency light?
Answer : The battery backup option provides power to your emergency lights in case of a fire, earthquake, or other emergency that causes a power outage. You must have the battery backup model if you DO NOT have a generator that provides power to your facility in emergency circumstances.
Question : When do emergency lights come on?
Answer : Emergency lights turn on when power is lost to the facility. When equipped with a battery backup or supplied with electricity from a generator, Greentorch emergency lights will operate for a minimum of 90 minutes in emergency situations.
Question : Does this emergency light plug-in to a wall outlet?
Answer : No. Emergency lights have to be hard-wired into your electrical system to be building and fire code compliant. If you are looking for a 100% battery operated emergency light it does not exist because it is impossible to charge the battery for the light without a source of electricity. Batteries in emergency lights have a trickle charge, which means the battery uses a minute amount of electricity to stay charged incase of an emergency power outage.
Question : What does 120/277v mean?
Answer : 120/277 refers to the line voltage that the emergency light can operate on. 120 refers to residential and small commercial line voltage while 220 refers to commercial and office building line voltage. The main point is that our emergency lights will work in either situation so you don’t need to worry about the functionality. We recommend using a licensed electrician or maintenance professional to install the signs.
Question : Are there emergency lights with batteries that operate longer than 90 minutes in emergency power mode?
Answer : Yes, there are. The higher the wattage of the emergency lighting unit the longer the unit will operate in emergency power mode (while keeping the lamp head wattage constant). Please see our industrial line of emergency lights, which come with large batteries (up to 400 watts).
Question : What is remote head capability?
Answer : Remote head capability means that the emergency lighting unit has been equipped with a battery that is powerful enough to supply power remotely to individual lamp heads. The larger the battery, the more remote heads a unit can handle.
