Specification-Grade Safety, 24/7 Reliability, and Up to 80% Energy Savings.

Stairwells and back-of-house (BOH) spaces are the lifelines of any commercial facility. They demand more than just illumination—they require compliance with NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) and ASHRAE 90.1 energy standards. Our Stairwell & Utility LED Lighting Solutions provide a “set-and-forget” system: integrated bi-level sensors for smart energy management and built-in emergency backups for life safety, all housed in a rugged, easy-to-install linear profile.

Designed for the reality of facility management.

• Fire Stairwells: Smart bi-level dimming ensures code-compliant lighting 24/7 while slashing energy costs by 80% during low-occupancy hours.

• Mechanical & Storage Rooms: High-output, glare-free illumination that resists dust and vibration, providing a safe working environment for maintenance crews.

• Service Hallways: Continuous-run capability with seamless “knock-outs” for row mounting, eliminating dark spots in long egress paths.

• Parking Transition Zones: Engineered for temperature stability, ensuring consistent lumen output even in unconditioned transition areas.

We design for the person on the ladder. Reduce labor costs by up to 50%.

• Smart Bi-Level Microwave Sensors Unlike standard PIR sensors that require line-of-sight, our Microwave Sensors detect movement through partitions and around corners. Settings are fully customizable for “Stand-by” levels (10%/20%/30%) and “Hold Time” to meet local energy codes.

• Integrated 90-Minute Emergency Backup (EBB) Our factory-installed UL-924 certified battery backups provide 90 minutes of illumination during power failure. By integrating the EBB directly into the fixture, you eliminate the need for secondary “bug-eye” emergency units, streamlining the ceiling’s aesthetic.

• Field-Adjustable “3-CCT & 3-Wattage” Technology Inventory simplified. A single fixture offers 9 possible configurations (e.g., 3500K/4000K/5000K x 20W/30W/40W), allowing for real-time adjustments based on the specific ceiling height or wall color of each project site.

• Snap-on, Tool-less Entry Housing Featuring a specialized “Press-to-Open” latch system. Accessing the driver and wiring compartment takes seconds, not minutes. The internal Quick-Connect wiring harnesses further accelerate large-scale installations.

Maximizing your investment through rebates and durability.

• DLC 6.0 Qualified: Our fixtures are listed on the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) QPL, making them eligible for the highest tier of utility rebates (averaging $20–$50 per unit in many US jurisdictions).

• Safety & Code Compliance:

  • UL/cUL Listed: For Damp Locations.

  • NFPA 101 & IBC: Meets egress and life safety requirements.

  • Title 24: Compliant with California’s rigorous energy efficiency standards.

 Specialist FAQ for Engineers & Contractors

Q: How do you handle “Ghosting” or sensor interference in tight stairwells?

A: Our drivers feature advanced anti-interference shielding and adjustable sensitivity settings to prevent false triggering caused by HVAC vibrations or movement on adjacent floors.

Q: Does the fixture cover the “Footprint” of old 2-lamp T8 fluorescent strips?

A: Yes. Our models feature a wider base designed to completely cover existing paint lines and mounting holes, saving you the time and expense of patching and repainting.

Q: Can we order project-specific labeling for large REIT portfolios?

A: Absolutely. We provide factory-level labeling (e.g., Building A – Level 3) on both the fixture and packaging to simplify on-site logistics for your installation crew.

Q: Are your fixtures compliant with California Title 24?

A: Yes. Our integrated sensors support full-off or bi-level dimming modes, meeting the strict energy-saving requirements of Title 24 JA8 and ASHRAE standards.

Q: How do the emergency batteries perform in cold environments?

A: We use high-quality batteries rated for 0°C to 40°C. For unheated spaces in extreme climates, we offer specialized cold-weather kits with internal heaters.

Q: Is the sensor modular, or do I replace the whole fixture if it fails?

A: We utilize a modular plug-and-play sensor design. If a sensor needs replacing, an electrician can swap it out in seconds without cutting wires or removing the fixture from the ceiling.
