Commercial Applications: Eleven Countries
Whether it’s the self-contained battery unit or the remote head tied to a battery backup with low-voltage wiring, EgressLite is the most economical emergency lighting solution in these and other locations:
• LEED Building — Seattle
• Chelsea Landmark Building New York City
• NASA International Space Station
• Marriott X-Room of the Future — Newark, Delaware
When asked why he selected SentryLight for his emergency lighting needs, a SentryLight customer stated:
“SentryLight fixtures provided the best solution to our need for clean, concealed emergency lighting in both wall and ceiling applications. The fixtures were smaller and more economical than other concealed emergency lights. Installation and inspections went smoothly. We will definitely specify SentryLight emergency lights again.”

Featured In Marriott's X-Room of the Future
Every hotel and motel across the country deploys emergency lighting in the hallway and stairs, meeting national fire safety codes requiring safe egress lighting along the path of egress.

After listening to guests concerned about waking up in a strange room that’s pitch black due to a power failure, Dr. Cobanoglu decided to seek a solution: bringing emergency lighting inside the guest room. After researching emergency lighting, Dr. Cobanoglu contacted Brian Corbett at SentryLight.
According to Cihan: "Continually improving guest satisfaction is paramount in our industry. Placing a critical life-safety feature inside the guest room simply makes sense."

Emergency Lighting in Residential Applications
Why do construction codes require egress lighting in commercial spaces, but not in residential spaces? Designed to be placed at the same height as a lightswitch plate, SentryLight is the only serious emergency lighting solution for the home.
When asked why they selected SentryLight for their cutom built homes, Joy and J.R. say: “We decided we wanted serious residential emergency lighting. It was an upgrade we weren't going to do without. "
SentryLight Compared to Other Emergency Lights
For over two decades, there has been little innovation in the emergency lighting industry. The conventional emergency lighting design — where the battery pack attaches to the outside of the wall with two “bug eye” incandescent lamps — has been modified again and again with little overall impact. Architects hate the “bug eyes”. The SentryLight design takes the battery pack and places it behind the wall, and replaces the “bug eyes” with Xenon-powered lamps. Compact, reliable and able to cut through smoke, Xenon lamps enable a smaller design, while providing bright, even illumination. SentryLight designs are patent protected in the U.S. and Internationally.
Underwriters Laboratory UL Approved
After over two years of rigorous UL 924 Emergency Lighting testing, SentryLight received UL approval for commercial and residential applications. Due to the form factor — that of a light switch plate — SentryLight emergency lights were approved by UL for installation at any height. This represents the first time emergency lighting may be installed closer to the floor, where it may be below the smoke in a fire.
ADA Compliant Design Advantage
Building design that accomodates the physically impaired has become law in nations around the world. SentryLight emergency lighting is approved for use in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities where wheelchairs are in use, and is Americans with Disabilities Act compliant.
