How Remote Heads Work
Remote heads are auxiliary lighting units that connect to a central emergency lighting power supply. Instead of containing their own batteries, remote heads draw power from a main emergency unit through low-voltage wiring. This design offers important advantages:
Broader Coverage Area
A single emergency lighting unit with battery backup can power multiple remote heads, extending illumination throughout your facility. The dual-head design doubles the coverage of each remote location, making your emergency lighting system more effective with fewer installation points.
Reduced Costs
Remote heads cost less than complete emergency light fixtures with integrated batteries. By connecting remote heads to central power supplies, you achieve comprehensive coverage while reducing equipment costs and simplifying maintenance.
Centralized Maintenance
Battery monitoring, testing, and replacement happen at the central unit rather than at each lighting location. This approach consolidates maintenance tasks and reduces the total number of batteries requiring attention throughout your facility.
Placement Flexibility
Position remote heads wherever additional emergency illumination is needed—around corners, at intersections, in interior rooms, or along extended corridors. The low-voltage connection allows placement freedom that self-contained units cannot provide.
Dual-Head Advantage
Why Choose Two Heads Over One?
The dual-head configuration offers significant benefits compared to single-head remote units:
Wider Coverage Area
Two independently adjustable heads cover more space than a single head. One fixture can illuminate areas that would otherwise require two separate single-head units.
Multi-Directional Illumination
Aim each head in a different direction to light intersecting pathways, opposite walls, or different zones within a space. This flexibility is especially valuable at corridor intersections and in open areas.
Fewer Installation Points
Covering the same area with dual-head units requires fewer total fixtures, mounting locations, and wiring runs. This reduces installation time, labor costs, and visual clutter on ceilings and walls.
Better Value
While dual-head units cost slightly more than single-head versions, the increased coverage typically makes them more cost-effective when you calculate price per illuminated area.
Simplified Wiring
Running low-voltage wire to one dual-head location is simpler than wiring two separate single-head locations. Fewer wire runs mean faster installation and lower material costs.
Compatibility Information
This remote head operates on 3.6V or 9.6V low-voltage power from compatible emergency lighting units. Before purchasing, verify your existing emergency power supply supports remote head connections and confirm voltage compatibility.
Compatible with:
- Emergency lighting units with remote head capability
