Red Single-Face Exit Sign Kit
The Acuity Lithonia LQC W 1 R EL N Quantum Series provides a red-letter exit sign with one illuminated face. Universal field-selectable chevrons let installers choose directional arrows on site. An internal nickel-cadmium battery supplies emergency backup power when mains voltage fails. The cast aluminium housing in white finish is designed for indoor commercial and institutional use.
Surface Mount With 120/277 Volt Wiring
The unit mounts directly to a standard junction box and connects to either 120 or 277 volt AC supply without a separate transformer. Wiring must follow local code for emergency lighting circuits and the battery leads must be connected before the fixture is energised. A common error is leaving the chevron inserts unselected, which leaves the sign non-directional. Another issue is failing to secure the aluminium housing screws, causing the faceplate to bow over time.
Verify Voltage And Mounting Surface Before Ordering
Confirm the building circuit supplies 120 or 277 volts AC and that a compatible junction box is present at the mounting location. The kit includes no lamp heads, so separate emergency heads are required if path lighting is needed. Check that the single-face format matches the egress plan; double-face or edge-lit models are not included. Ensure the white aluminium finish suits the interior colour scheme.
