Construction

The EL-M2 series is contructed from injection molded, impact- and scratch-resistant and corrosion-proof UL 94 V-0 flame retardant thermoplastic housing. White housing is standard.

Illumination

The battery backup and remote head capable series uses two 1.5W LED lamp heads each equipped with 12 series-parallel white LEDs. Lamp heads are on track-and-swivel guides. Glare-free lenses provide clear light source to ensure performance in emergency situations.

Emergency Operation

Upon failure of the normal utility power, an internal solid­state transfer switch automatically provides uninterrupted emergency operation for at least 90 minutes. The fully automatic solid-state, two-rate charger initiates battery charging to recharge a discharged battery in 24 hours.

Battery - Battery Backup

The EL-M2 Emergency Light series (Battery Backup Model) is designed with a maintenance-free 3.6V 1000mAh NiCad battery that provides a minimum emergency duration of 90 minutes. Remote Head capable unit is designed with a maintenance-free 3.6V 1800mAh Ni-Mh battery that provides 90 minute battery backup time (180 minute battery backup time if no remote heads are connected). Recharge time of the battery is 24 hours. Operational temperature range is 32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C).

Customer Questions & Answers
Post a question and have an expert answer



Q Aaron • 12/20/2018, 11:38:33 AM I noticed you sell EL-MW and EL-MW2 on your website, What is the difference in the units besides Price?
A Exit Light Co. The EL-MW is a slightly smaller unit. It is described as "Compact" in comparison to the EL-MW2. Also, the EL-MW has 8 white LEDs in each lamp whereas the EL-MW2 has 12. So, the EL-MW2 has brighter illumination.
Q A. Scherer • 03/15/2019, 4:06:30 PM Operational temp 50-104 F. Can it not operate in freezing temps? Say outdoors under an overhanging roof that keeps it totally dry? If not what emergency light do you recommend?
A Exit Light Co. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee proper function if conditions reach anything below or above the stated temperature range. Our ELCEL-WET as an internal battery heater option that allows for 15°F (-9°C) without running the risk of the battery freezing.
Q Art Scherer • 03/27/2019, 1:07:42 AM Can it be used exterior location but under roofed passageway that never gets wet? Rarely temp of 25 F but mostly between 35 to 80F.
A Exit Light Co. This unit is Damp Location Rated. However, please note, the operational temperature range is 50°F (10°) to 104°F (40°).
Q JULISSA JURADO • 07/02/2019, 5:52:53 PM Would you please confirm if LFI model EMEL-MW2 has POLYCARBONATE LENS. Thanks.
A Exit Light Co. Yes, the lens of the ELCEL-M2 is Polycarbonate.
Q HEIDI • 09/05/2019, 11:15:30 AM Besides the 3 wires for wiring (red, black, and white) does this include a second set to wire for external remote heads aswell?
A Exit Light Co. The standard unit does not. However, the Remote Head capable version of this light does. That feature can be selected under Operation Type.
Q Terry • 07/04/2020, 4:06:40 PM This is the "high output" model, but within the options there's another "high output" option. What's the difference between the non-"high output" option and the "high output" option on this already "high output" model?
A Exit Light Co. The standard EL-M2 unit runs on a nicad battery and is a high output LED fixture featuring 72 lumens per head. The EL-M2-HO variant runs off of SLA battery and features 700 lumens total.
Q Ken Still • 10/20/2022, 12:59:17 PM How wide of a path will the EL-M2-HO illuminate?
A Exit Light Co. The typical path of egress is 3' width but this depends on the mounting height of the unit.
Q Tony Cabral • 04/05/2023, 1:27:47 PM What is the maintenance hours for the LED light bulbs? Can you provide the color temp of your bulbs?
A Exit Light Co. LEDs are rated at 25 years LEDs on these are the 2835 SMD We do not have the color temperature of these bulbs, but this information can be found in an online search.
Q Steven T. Zmuda • 12/19/2023, 2:46:43 PM Hello, Is this light fixture approved for use by the New York City Building Dept?
A Exit Light Co. This unit does not meet NYC requirements. Please see our NYC Approved Emergency Lights category: https://www.exitlightco.com/category/New-York-City-Approved-Emergency-Lights.html
