Self diagnostic ready-lite emergency light (my favourite emergency light)

[@pineappleroad]

In the country where i live, we have “maintained” and “non maintained” emergency lighting “Non maintained” emergency lighting only comes on when there is a power failure, whereas “maintained” emergency lighting is lit all the time (and some emergency light fixtures can be configured for maintained or non maintained, or even connected to a light switch, so that in normal conditions it turns on and off with the rest of the lights, and automatically comes on (or stays on) if there is a power failure) And we also have special switches, which are usually found alongside the light switch, which allow the power to the emergency light to be turned off for test purposes, these switches require a special key/tool to operate (so you can’t accidentally turn it off, or turn it off as a prank or something) Most emergency lights where i live are rectangular boxes which can be either ceiling mounted, or wall mounted, the style shown in the video aren’t very common here (although some places do have them) Sounds as though for the most part you might not have “maintained” emergency lighting

ooh fire-lite piezo

Putting emergency lights on the same circuit as the normal lights is a very good idea. At the pool where I work, we have glass jar lights with red light bulbs, like that on your generator building, which blink during a fire alarm, which are required by our AHJ. And, I always like to have them on the same circuit as normal lights.

Great video

I always liked the T&B lights, they have a reputation for being high quality and serviceable. The turn off the lamp feature is a pretty cool design. I'm not sure if the NFPA approves in the states, but I don't see how it would be a problem as it resets to normal when power is applied again. I agree that some codes are nonsensical, but others are very logical. The only time I have seen plug in type are in old building with grandfathered wiring installation, or old industrial setting with NEMA 7-15 plugs.

They do actually, they sell these but in an American form(tests and lasts longer)

Interesting video

[@That_2_guy2T]

Looks like a good emergency light

[@SoutheastWarrenEAS]

There are a few self diagnosing emergency lights in my school, and pretty much all of them have some sort of fault. My school literally doesn't care about them lol

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

I did one see an emergency Light in a Bart station that had the red light flashing possibly meaning the internal battery is dead

[@RealTeragames]

my local costco had tons of these but on the ceiling. alot of them had these lights on and some were beeping. I remember one of them were completely broken and and all of the lights were flashing and beeping. ive moved to a new house so i havent been there in a year

[@micahnightwolf]

I feel like if these self-diagnostic lights detected a trouble that doesn't involve lamp failure, they should flash the lamps so you know immediately what that irritating noise is coming from.

[@sandtech]

At my school, all the emergency lights are connected to a network, so you can check their status on a computer and even test the lights from the software

[@NS-Sirens]

Nexsus?

[@sandtech]

​@@NS-Sirens No Eaton for emergency lighting (central battery bank) and Glamox exit sign for signage (some are also programmed to be normally off, and when there is a power outage or fire alarm, the light will turn on).

@@sandtech oh though it was canadian

@@NS-Sirens oh No No i'm norwegian🤣

Had a local power outage today at 4 a.m. Emergency lights came on in the hallway of our condo. 10 minutes into the outage, the emergency lights started the piercing beep. Am I correct to conclude that that means the battery is weak in a unit and needs replacing? The residents disconnected the batteries of the screaming lights to silence them. Reconnected when the power came back on. So--new batteries needed?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Likely new batteries needed

[@Extremely_crazy_toaster_light]

in my middle school there is emergency lights like this but from Emergi Lite and they are incandescent some are replaced some have dead batteries they dont have a pizo and they can test for 1 hour max and idk can turn them off ree

[@fodo3971]

welcome to the fresh new videos of NIC'S EMERGENCY LIGHTS

[@danielwerhak]

In us we have two emergency light basement LED last 90 minutes

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

and last 2 days my parents had a backout at their house happened in the daytime but my emergency light I made did kick on

[@Random_Emergency_Light]

We're would you buy one? Lol nice video Edit : could you make a video how to wire a exit sign to an remote head?

[@canadianemergencylights]

buy them at a supplier, and for wireing an exit sign the exit sign you have is not remote capable

[@West_Kootenay_railfan]

I've got a question, i have a lumacell 5LGRA12M10W3 exit sign combo and the transformer gets really hot, is that a good or bad thing?

[@nics-systems-electric]

It's not great but it's not uncommon. I've seen plenty of exit signs that have the plastic permanently discoloured from being burnt from it.

[@West_Kootenay_railfan]

​​@nics-systems-electric would it catch on fire?

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@West_Kootenay_railfan probably not

[@canadianemergencylights]

I actually have a variety of this, yes it’s fine just on high charge

[@canadianemergencylights]

@@West_Kootenay_railfanwould I be able to see it?

[@NS-Sirens]

Yo nic i have one too looked it up its worth 1,400 CAD

[@sharonbradford4494]

I have just found the USB versions
