How To Install an Emergency Light

[@oldredchevy-hh6de]

Thank you Ron. From a guy in White Rock, British Columbia, Canada. I'm a home-owner with only minimal wiring knowledge. I was using an extension cord with one end cut off, so I could wire the lights to plug in to the wall. The wires on my cord were black, white & green. I had the exact same lights as you, with black, white & red wires. I wasn't sure what to do with all the colors. Thankfully, you made it clear that the red wire was not used. So either was the green wire. Easy, once explained. I cut & capped both. I watched your video before trying anything, and all went well.

Thanks for the upload! I definitely will check this out again when I buy my first set of emergency lights. For some weird reason? I thought it was illegal to install them in a house lol but I figured why when they sale them in Lowe’s and Home Depot ? Like why would it be? I guess cause I’m used to seeing them in public only.

They will pay for themselves the first time you need them, good luck.

@@channelron3593 all you did was connect the battery cable in the back. You didn't connect it to electric power.

Not bad!

Is it possible to just wire one of these to a plug and plug it into a socket, because my school has 2 lights that are wired like that

[@channelron3593]

Yes I did a film on that.

[@southkerr6267]

So you put the emergency light on the wall only connecting the battery in the back. and not the wires in the emergency box. You connected a wire to a plug that you tied off to nothing. Why no just put the emergency light on the wall without giving it 120amp that's what you did.

[@channelron3593]

Well you need the 120 volt to keep it charged up.
