Remote emergency lights operate by drawing power from a central emergency lighting unit or battery backup system, rather than having their own internal battery. When the main power supply is interrupted, the central emergency fixture automatically transfers power to the connected remote lamp heads through low-voltage wiring. These remote lights then illuminate exit routes, stairwells, and corridors, ensuring visibility and occupant safety during an outage. This design allows multiple remote fixtures to be powered from a single, remote-capable emergency light, simplifying maintenance and ensuring code-compliant illumination under UL 924 and NFPA life safety standards.
