Federal Signal Corporation SLMBS-012-024R Shallow Base

Product Description

The FEDERAL SIGNAL CORPORATION SLMBS-012-024R is a streamline modular shallow base unit designed for emergency lighting and exit sign applications. This component serves as the mounting and power base in modular emergency lighting assemblies, providing the structural and electrical foundation for the fixture. It is built for commercial and industrial installations where low-profile mounting depth is required. Electricians and lighting contractors install this base as part of a complete emergency lighting system, typically during new construction or retrofit projects governed by NEC and local life-safety codes.

This shallow base unit is suited for installations where standard-depth housings are not practical, such as recessed wall applications or tight plenum spaces. It fits within modular emergency lighting product families where individual components can be configured or replaced independently. The unit is sold individually and is appropriate for commercial buildings, corridors, stairwells, and other areas requiring code-compliant emergency egress lighting.

Key Features

• Shallow-profile base design allows installation in space-constrained mounting locations
• Modular construction supports component-level replacement without full fixture changeout
• Sized for emergency lighting and exit sign category applications
• Sold as a single unit for targeted replacement or new assembly builds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or assembly component for modular emergency lighting systems within the FEDERAL SIGNAL CORPORATION Streamline product line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 700 and applicable local emergency lighting codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker and verify zero voltage before handling any wiring connections. Confirm mounting surface depth and backing are adequate for the shallow base profile before securing the unit. Follow the manufacturer assembly instructions when integrating this base with other Streamline modular components.
