Product Characteristics

PRODUCT OVERVIEW: The EL20 Vandal Proof Industrial Emergency Light offers a low-profile contemporary design that has been engineered with versatility, durability, and architectural appeal in mind. The lamp’s glare-free polycarbonate lens completely encloses and protects the lamp heads, eliminating any unwanted tampering or re-positioning. Damp location protection is standard with every unit.

CONSTRUCTION: The EL20 unit and lamp housings are precision molded units constructed of flame retardant, corrosion proof, UV stable thermoplastic. The EL20 will resist denting, peeling, scratching and corrosion. The unit is available in white or black. The EL20’s clear polycarbonate lens cover is designed to enclose and protect the lamps from unwanted tampering and repositioning.

ILLUMINATION: The EL20 uses tungsten or halogen wedge base lamps. The EL20 can power one additional remote head when remote capability option is purchased. The lamp wattage changes to 4.6 watt tungsten on the unit and in the remote.


BATTERY TECHNOLOGY: The EL20 features a maintenance free, Sealed Lead Acid battery that provides a minimum 90 minutes of emergency operation. Recharge time of the battery is 24 hours. Nickel Metal Hydride battery also available for an additional charge. The maximum battery working temperature is 50 C or 122 F.

INSTALLATION: Units may be wall or ceiling mounted. A universal mounting plate is provided for attachment to standard 3 1/2” and 4” electrical boxes. Unit simply plugs into installed mounting plate and is secured by built-in locking tabs. A plug-in connector with pigtail leads is provided as part of the universal mounting plate. All AC connections to the unit are made when the housing is plugged into the mounting plate.

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.
