Lithonia Lighting LIH1470 Specifications

FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

INTENDED USE  Suitable for applications requiring both exit sign and unit equipment. Attractive, 8"

tall, streamlined design is great for above-the-door applications and other tight fits. Optional high-output
version with remote lamps are ideal for emergency egress lighting. Certain airborne contaminants

can diminish integrity of acrylic and/or polycarbonate. Click here for Acrylic- Polycarbonate

Compatibility table for suitable uses.

CONSTRUCTION  Engineering-grade thermoplastic housing is impact-resistant, scratch-resistant and

corrosion-proof. UL94V-O flame rating. UV-stable resin resists discoloration from natural and man-made
light sources.

Rugged unibody housing snaps together with no additional fasteners. Faceplate and back cover are inter
changeable on housing. Positive snap-fit tabs hold faceplate securely, yet are easily removable for lamp
compartment access. Universal, directional chevron inserts are easily removed and reinserted.

Uniform graphics illumination without shadows or hot spots. Letters are 6" high with 3/4" stroke, with 100 ft.
viewing distance rating based upon UL924 standard.

LEDs mounted on primary circuit boards for sign illumination. Low-energy LED lamp in sign operates in normal
(AC input) and emergency (DC input) modes.

Low-profile, integrated test switch/pilot light. Easily viewed bright red status indicator.
Unique track-and-swivel arrangement permits full range of direction of lamp head adjustment. Universal J-box

mounting pattern. Tool-less access for maintenance. Conduit entry position on top of unit.

U.S. Patent No. 6,848,798; 6,499,866; 6,142,648; 5,797,673; D379,373; 5,526,251; D484,272;
D473,672; 5,611,163; 5,646,502.

OPTICS  Twin LED lamp heads operate in emergency (DC input) mode with 12 series-parallel white LEDs

in each head. Provides redundant light sources to ensure emergency lighting performance. The typical life of
the exit LED lamp is 10 years.

ELECTRICAL  Dual-voltage input capability (120/277V). Edge connector on printed circuit board ensures
long-term durability.

Current-limiting charger maximizes battery life and minimizes energy consumption. Provides low operating
costs.

Short-circuit protection — current-limiting charger circuitry protects printed circuit board from shorts.
Thermal compensation adjusts charger output to provide optimum charge voltage relative to ambient

temperature.
Regulated charge voltage maintains constant-charge voltage over a wide range of line voltages. Prevents over/

undercharging that shortens battery life and reduces capacity.
Filtered charger input minimizes charge voltage ripple and extends battery life.
AC/LVD reset allows battery connection before AC power is applied and prevents battery damage from

deep discharge.
Single multi-color LED indicator to display two-state charging, test activation and three-state diagnostic test.

Test switch provides manual activation of 30-second diagnostic testing for on-demand visual inspection.
Self-diagnostic testing for 30 seconds every 30 days, 30 minutes at 180-day interval, and 90 minutes annually.
Diagnostic evaluation of LED light source, AC-to-DC transfer, charging and battery condition.

Nickel-Cadmium Battery

HO R0

Battery: Sealed, maintenance-free nickel-cadmium battery delivers 90-minute capacity to emergency
lamps. Two-state contstant-current charge maximizes battery life and automatically recharges after battery
discharge. Low-voltage disconnect prevents excessively deep discharge that can permanently damage the bat
tery. Optional high-output battery to power both local and optional LED remote lamp heads simultaneously.

INSTALLATION — Top, end or back mounting. Housing snaps to canopy with positive-locking tabs. Cam
locking pin secures housing to canopy.

Easily removed mounting knockouts. Conduit entry knockout for 1/2" flexible conduit. J-box pattern on back panel.
LISTINGS — UL damp location listed standard 50°-104°F (10°-40°C). Meets UL 924, NFPA 101 (current Life

Safety Code), NEC and OSHA illumination standards.
WARRANTY — 5-year limited warranty. (Battery is prorated). Complete warranty terms located at

www.AcuityBrands.com/CustomerResources/Terms_and_Conditions.aspx.
