One I saw an emergency light in a store with 4 heads. It was pretty epic
that's very cool!
I’m loving the 4K 60FPS video quality! Amazing!
Thank you very much! This is something I have wanted to change to for a while now. Expect my newer videos to be this way!
Nice video. Funny with the off-center exit lettering, and mounting holes that they’d call this the “Symmetry Series.” Lol.
Thanks! Haha, yeah it’s such an oddly designed sign but still neat!
My favorite unit was definitely the small one it was just so cute and so interesting especially for being an incandescent emergency light it’s pretty small
Wait a minute. I think those older plastic Lightalarms signs that I was referring to are the XBRA series, they are usually black, very rare that I see white ones, but I think there the ones that glow the orange punch out rings on the sides and back of the sign when illuminated, not so much the UX series which I think is a slightly different version, but might be similar!
I remember very distinctly seeing all of these units while out and about. My local Menards has the chloride high capacity, but with 2 heads. I miss seeing metal light alarms exit signs in buildings. I used to always look out for the blinking/steady charge LED.
Also the first emergency light they had those at my preschool before it got torn down
I’m really loving the 4K! Nice setup also.
Thanks! Expect my newer videos to be in this quality!
ExitSign250, I saw an exit sign at my community college's campus that had the following:
- Brushed aluminum face plate
- Black outer housing
- Off-centered font (by that, the left arrow was closer to the E, and the right arrow was farther from the T)
I also found out it is currently branded by a company called Evenlite. But there is a possibility that it could be rebranded by someone else.
Also, apparently the Evenlite exit signs have a tendency to get very dim, making them appear barely even lit when in light, but easier to see when in the dark.
Nice!
Wow! That emergency light is really cool!
I like the 3 light one.
Emergi Lite X10 series has different versions with different faceplates the classic wide exit lettering either yellow plastic, or silver brush aluminum, and has a light screen with 4 divisions on the bottom of the sign instead of a grill with a slightly different punch out hole pattern for parallel wall mounting, and of course the modern metal chevron arrow faceplate which is the same color as the housing with the grill of 4 divisions on the bottom of the sign, and then there is the more rare plastic housing UX Lightalarms EXIT that has the grill of 4 divisions and sometimes the metal classic wide EXIT brush aluminum faceplate, or plastic faceplate, that glows the punch out holes on the sides and back of the sign when illuminated if the sign is white. The metal Emergi Lite X10 signs have two screws on the side of the unit to access the inside, however on the older plastic Lightalarms UX Exit Signs, these screws are located on the back of the unit!
I like that you changed the bulb in the combo in this video you should do more maintenance in the next videos
Thanks so much for all the interesting info. I always love learning something new from your vids. Could you maybe one day do a video on how to connect remote heads or a video about them in general in terms of how they work etc? I've been wanting to learn more about them but there's so little out there. From what I've gathered, only certain ones can go with certain units? Not sure about that at all. If you have any knowledge on them, that'd be great as I really want to learn more about them and how they work and how to hook them up and all that. Thanks SO much for continuing to do this series as I ALWAYS learn so much and better understand the different options out there and the history of each unit etc.
does a florescent last longer then an incandescent? i ask because you talked about the energy use. thanks in advance.
Thank you! I’m very glad you enjoy this series and always learn something! I have planned to make an episode based on remotes heads, I’ll try to work on they soon. As of right now I actually do not own any. But it’s definitely on my list and expect to see it in the future. As for fluorescent lasting longer than incandescent, this can be the case sometimes. It can also depend on the type of fluorescent bulb you have. The bulb that burned out in the X10 in this episode was only on for around a month before it burned out. I think an incandescent would last a little longer. Generally though the main advantage of fluorescent bulbs is the energy savings. Thanks again for your comment!
Very cool. And for that combo, how is the light spread on the emergency light compared to the square head non reflectorized unit? I have a square head non reflectorized incandescent emergency that does a good job with light spread. Its brightness is okay.
Thanks! The X10 combo spreads light almost like a spot light, but very dim. Non reflector emergency lights/combos spread light everywhere, but it is dim.
@@ExitSign250 ah ok. My Lithonia ELM2 is like a flashlight. It has bright light circles but its still an outstanding emergency light. I also have an Amazon Commercial emergency light that has good brightness and better light spread than the ELM2 but my Generic non reflectorised has the best light spread and worst brightness out of my 3 emergency lights
@@ExitSign250 what's the bulb wattage in the emergency heads? is it 3.6 or 5.4?
Cool emergency lights I’ve got a new door closer conning it’s a universal hardware uh4011 with built in hold
Open
You ever tried putting LED bulbs in your halogen emergency lights
I’ve heard people doing this. This will obviously allow the unit to last a very long time in a power outage and potentially become brighter too. I just have never done it for emergency lights. I do use LED bulbs for my incandescent exit signs though.
Finally you're back! Please do more fire sprinkler videos.
Sorry for my absence! I do plan to make some more fire sprinkler videos in the future!
I wonder what will be shown in episode 14 of Exit and Emergency?
Rare to have a three head emergency light
nice units
you should do a setup with the signout
series
ExitSign250, I've seen an exit sign made by Exitronix called the Exitronix VEX. Have you ever seen one of those?
I have seen a few of those. I like the looks of the faceplate.
I have been finding these emergency lights that appear to be giant squares with a bulb in the middle, I really want to see one turned on but all I could find was a very low quality photo of an auditorium with the power turned off which had one in the background
I know what you are talking about! I have been trying to get my hands on one of those for a few years. Hopefully one day soon I’ll be able to get one and if so I’ll feature it in a video!
@@ExitSign250 I think I managed to find them after a deep search. The model is Emergi-Lite PSC18-2. They appear to still be in stock.
I have a old exit sign that was from my dads work
Noice
I have 9 emergency lights! 3 on top floor 3 on main floor and 3 in emergency bulbs in basement! I only 4 power surges in its life time! Power been on for 2 years!!! May 21st 2020!! How long can power last? Our lights flicker faintly every morning since fall 2021
Are you ok?
@@TheJakeman789 yea I'm OK! Just got over a 3 ½ hour power outage
is it just me or do the emergency lights at 2:40 look like remote heads a bit? I also know that NY exit signs lettering needs to be larger back in the day but am not sure if that's the case today.
Good observation! There were remote heads offered that looked similar to this emergency light, but the heads themselves were on white round plates. And yes, there is a NYC spec exit sign. It must have exit letters 8” tall in red, and must be made of metal or another durable material. This code is mostly enforced to this day.
Hey maybe for the next setup could you use some remote heads?
I have this planned for a future episode! I’ve gotten a lot of requests to make a video using remote heads.
@@ExitSign250 Ok thanks!
@@ExitSign250 Also, do you have a business email or a email in general? I have a few questions about a emergency light.
I don’t have a business email or one that I share publicly. But you can ask questions here! I’d be happy to help.
Can you help me troubleshoot mines? My emergency exit signage battery was replaced but now the lights are flickering and making a loud buzzing sound. Please help.
Does this happen constantly or only when tested or power is cut?
@@ExitSign250 constantly when power is on with the new battery installed.
If the battery is disconnected, does the unit continue to buzz and flicker?
It’s abt time you posted #13
