Emergency & Life Safety Lighting

LED Exit Signs & Emergency Lighting

Illuminated exit signage and emergency lighting aren't optional in most commercial and multi-residential buildings — Alberta's building and fire codes require functioning emergency egress lighting, full stop. This collection covers Running Man exit signs, battery packs, and remote heads built to keep that system reliable for years, not months.

How to Choose the Right Fixture

Standard Running Man signs suit dry indoor locations; waterproof (IP65) versions are required for parkades, loading docks, or any exit route exposed to weather. Combo units integrate an exit sign with remote emergency heads in one fixture, reducing the number of separate devices on a wall. Battery packs are sized by remote-head wattage capacity (36W-500W) — match the pack to the total wattage of every remote head it needs to power during an outage, with margin for future additions.

Certifications & Code Compliance

All exit signs and emergency lighting in this collection are cCSAus certified, with battery backup rated for a minimum 90-120 minutes per NBC (National Building Code) and Alberta Fire Code requirements. Sealed Ni-Cd and lead-acid battery options are available depending on the unit.

Common Applications

• Commercial building egress routes and stairwells
• Multi-family apartment and condo common areas
• Warehouses and industrial facilities
• Parkades and covered exterior exit routes (waterproof units)

FAQ

How often does emergency lighting need to be tested? Alberta Fire Code typically requires monthly functional tests and an annual full-duration test (30 minutes minimum) — most units in this collection include a test button for exactly this purpose, and some Votatec models include a remote test control.

Can one battery pack power multiple remote heads? Yes, provided the total wattage of all connected heads stays under the pack's rated capacity — our 275W and 500W combo battery units are designed for exactly this kind of multi-head coverage in larger buildings.
