Lithonia Lighting 215NWL 2 Head Led Emergency Light

Product Description

The LITHONIA LIGHTING 215NWL is a dual-head LED emergency lighting unit designed for commercial and institutional facilities where reliable egress lighting is required during power failures. It operates on 120 or 277 VAC and draws only 2.7 watts, making it compatible with both standard and high-voltage branch circuits. The unit houses a sealed nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery that maintains charge during normal operation and activates automatically upon loss of primary power. The thermoplastic housing is finished in gray and is built to withstand typical indoor installation environments. Licensed electricians are the primary trade for installation and commissioning of this unit.

The 215NWL is suited for hallways, stairwells, exits, and common areas in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and industrial spaces. Its two adjustable lamp heads allow the installer to direct illumination toward exit paths and high-traffic areas. The unit is intended for indoor use where code-compliant emergency lighting is required by the International Fire Code, NFPA 101, or local building authority. It is a direct-mount unit typically installed on walls or above doorways as part of a compliant emergency egress system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 700 and applicable local codes governing emergency lighting systems. Disconnect and lock out power at the branch circuit breaker before wiring the unit. The unit must be connected to an unswitched circuit to ensure the battery remains charged during normal building operation. After installation, perform a full 90-minute discharge test to verify battery capacity meets code requirements.
