Simple, precise, and discreet, this surface-mount architectural emergency unit redefines emergency lighting by transforming a technical requirement into a seamless architectural solution.
Designed to overcome the limitations of conventional emergency fixtures - often intrusive, difficult to install, and prone to misalignment—the unit offers a refined approach focused on efficiency, reliability, and visual integration.
The system simplifies installation through direct mounting onto a standard junction box, significantly reducing installation time and complexity. It is fully compatible with recessed, surface-mounted, or suspended configurations, enabling flexible integration across a wide range of commercial and architectural environments.
At the core of its performance are four high-intensity LEDs, arranged in a carefully engineered configuration to deliver up to 25 meters (80 ft) of uniform coverage. This predefined optical design eliminates the need for manual aiming, removing the risk of misalignment while ensuring consistent and dependable illumination in critical situations.
Beyond performance, the unit contributes to overall project efficiency. Its optimized light distribution reduces the number of fixtures required within a space, supporting cost reduction without compromising safety or coverage.
The design is intentionally compact and low-profile, available in black or white thermoplastic finishes. Its minimal presence allows it to blend seamlessly into contemporary interiors, maintaining architectural integrity while fulfilling an essential safety function.
Engineered for versatility, the unit is available as a self-contained battery system, offering a minimum 90-minute emergency runtime supported by a protected lithium battery, or as a remote fixture compatible with central systems. Its performance is particularly well suited for high-ceiling applications where coverage and reliability are critical.
Designed and manufactured in Dorval, Quebec, this solution reflects a commitment to high-quality engineering and locally driven innovation.
By combining performance, simplicity, and refined design, this surface-mount architectural emergency unit positions emergency lighting not just as a compliance necessity, but as a thoughtfully integrated element of the built environment—enhancing safety while elevating design standards.
