Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the ELM2L provide emergency lighting?
The unit provides a minimum of 90 minutes of illumination at the rated wattage; LTP battery versions can extend runtime up to about 3 hours with no remotes.
Is this model suitable for wet locations?
It is Damp Location listed as standard. For wet environments, use the WPVS wet protective vandal shield accessory to obtain a Wet Location listing.
What do the “1.2W” and “~220 lm” specs refer to?
Each head uses a 1.2W LED; together the two heads deliver approximately 220 lumens with a linear distribution at 5000K.
Can I mount it on the ceiling?
Yes. The ELM2L version supports wall or ceiling mounting. (The ELM2LF fixed-optic version is wall-mount only.)
Does it offer self-diagnostics?
Yes. Choose the SDRT option for automatic monthly and annual tests with a multi-color status LED and remote test capability.
What’s the operating temperature range?
Listings are based on operation between approximately 50–104°F (10–40°C). Higher or lower temperatures can affect battery life and capacity.
Can this unit power remote heads?
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LTP) versions support remote capacity for compatible ELMRE/ELMRW remote heads or can be configured for extended runtime.
What does “B” and “M12” indicate in the catalog number?
“B” designates the black housing color. “M12” typically denotes a manufacturer multi-pack; confirm order quantities with your distributor.
