I like to see that old Sure-Lites exit sign kept in service. Those things are bulletproof. I’ve never seen one of those battery testers before, that was pretty interesting. Great informational video!
Thank you, we try to make videos that are both informational and educational. Check back soon as we are always adding new videos. Thanks for the comment, stay safe!
How many batteries fail the required 90-minute load test with your 20-hour load tester? (the ACT612 you're using in this video is used on fire alarm batteries, not 4 or 6 volt light batteries).
I ve seen no videos explaining how to test the output voltage Load of an Exite sign. there are no tutorials on diagnosing most of the issues.what if the sign keeps calling for charge?
It's hard to keep up with all of the different types, styles and configurations through the years. A lot has changed to make them brighter, last longer and less bulky on the wall or ceiling. We do get excited when we come across a really old one because it's becoming more rare to find those types. The truth is that they are all pretty cool, and there for the same reason - to help get you out of a building in case of an emergency.
Hi Dwight - All of the exit & emergency lights that you see in this video (and a majority of the ones you will see at your local grocery store, restaurants, warehouses, etc.) are powered by electricity with a battery backup. There are specialty lights out there that do not need electricity to illuminate in the event of an emergency. These types are more rare and are used in certain applications.
Kinda silly and useless in my honest opinion having an exit sign over a door with a window or the whole doors a window. I could see where there’s not a window on the door or in hallways.

it's a 1st gen UN-1
Beautiful to see a vintage Sure-Lite still in Service… God I’d give anything to Save Old Units like that when they are Retired OUT…
You never know when one may pop up, or get retired and brought back to our shop. If we see one come in we'll let you know!
Same here. This is the sign that started it all.

What tool is used to reach lights without using a ladder?
For monthly inspections, our techs use an extendable paint pole with a screw in the end to reach higher exit & emergency lights.
Question what states do you guys service in do service in Maine?
Hi Zachary, we service the Ohio market and some areas in Kentucky and Indiana that are close to Cincinnati.
Hallway lights at my school have Mini emergency lights in them, and I’m don’t know anything about them.

Yeah until it’s night and you can’t see shit because you’re choking on thick black smoke
