CZQRW Emergency Remote Light Head
What are remotes and why are they used?
An emergency remote head is a stand-alone lamp with no internal battery backup. Remote lamps are mounted on a base, with either single or twin lamps, and powered by an external battery source, most likely from an emergency lighting unit or exit-unit combo with extra capacity. By eliminating the battery, remotes are often more affordable than illuminating that same path of egress than stand-alone units. Additionally, emergency remote lamps are tested simultaneously with their emergency unit counterpart. This means that you are still following the Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) with less fixtures to test monthly/annually.

– The battery voltage of the remote and the unit must match. Holophane® remote lamp heads, such as the new Cortez™ CZQRW, are standard with a broad voltage range that cover the majority of battery voltages used in LED units.
– Additionally, most of the new emergency remotes from Holophane are UL Listed to operate with any battery source within the voltage range.
– In majority of instances, emergency remote lamps are used in environments that are not conducive to batteries.
– Often the cost savings for remotes are greater in demanding environments. Holophane offers universal voltage remotes that suit most applications including: commercial office, light industrial, wet location and heavy industrial environments.
– The distance allowed between the emergency remote and battery source (i.e. unit or combo) depends on the battery voltage of the system, watts of the remote lamp heads and the gauge wire used. Please see product webpage for maximum spacing information for Holophane LED remotes.
