Overview
The Fluorescent Emergency Light uses a powerful fluorescent bulb and compact nickel-cadmium battery to reliably produce 90 minutes of emergency lighting. This fixture is not only necessary for occupant safety, but also to meet building codes. Thermoplastic housing makes this fixture durable, while a clear Lexan diffuser ensures large areas of illumination coverage.
