Product Description

As the Electrical Contractor in Chicago working on a newly constructed office building, it's your job to source low-profile LED 'STAIRS' signs for the offices spaces and hallways closest to the stairs. Many of these areas have low-slung plenum ceilings and the fixtures must have battery backup in case of power outage. Sounds like just the job for the City of Chicago Approved Recessed STAIRS Edge Lit Exit Sign.

The sleek and appealing CHI-STAIRS-BB-R-R is approved for use throughout the Chicago. This edge-lit features a white panel with red letters which comply with City of Chicago regulations. This edge-lit exit signs comes as single face (transparent clear panel) or double face (mirrored panel) and includes a recessed backbox housing for installation in drywall or tiled ceiling boards. This energy-saving edge lit sign will remain on at all times when normal AC electricity is flowing, and continue to stay lit for at least 1-1/2 hours after a power failure, complying with UL924 code.

Construction

The CHI-STAIRS-BB-R-R has an unfinished cast aluminum backbox housing & junction box which conceal into the ceiling. The backbox has adjustable hanger bars for securing to joists. Other than the 'EXIT' panel, only a polished aluminum trim will be visible. 

The bottom exit panel of the City of Chicago Approved Recessed STAIRS Edge Lit is made of a high-polish, injection molded acrylic with slightly rounded edges. A red legal sized 'EXIT' stencil is molded into the acrylic, providing even light distribution. Single face and double face signs have a white mylar sheet within the panel, allowing the word EXIT to be seen clearly from up to 100 feet away.

Battery

This CHI-STAIRS-BB-R-R model includes a 6-volt Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery pack. It provides emergency backup power to the stairs sign for at least 90 minutes, and only requires 48-hours to fully recharge. Ni-Cd is the longest lasting battery type available, lasting an average of 15 years.

A push-to-test switch and LED pilot light on the bottom of the housing trim allows you to test the emergency readiness of the fixture. The LED will flash if any fault is detected in the circuit, LED lights or battery.
