Lumacell RG emergency light fixture - Needs some care!
Another pic from my 2008 trip to Trois-Rivières. I hope that cover didn't fall on someone! I have two of these and the cover isn't that light since it's metal!
Note the odd position of the heads. I assume there wasn't enough clearance on the top. It seems to be hard-wired too. I don't remember where this fixture was in the building, so it may or may not be there anymore.
My school has huge emergency light boxes under the stair cases and in the hallway there are remote heads but now there are new emergengy lights with individual batteries that are mounted sort of oddly on the ceiling and have the floods aimed down the hallway in either direction. I'm assuming the old heads don't function anymore.
My old high school had a mix of battery operated emergency with similar light boxes and 120v emergency lights from the 60s-70s in recessed fixtures. They changed them all to new 120v heads and removed the battery boxes around 2009 or so. This is around the same time they took down the old 1960s EXIT signs too.
I think my school has an standby generator for the emergency lights, I know there are emergency pot lights in the regular classrooms (they can't be turned on) and some of the troffers in the halls must be on the generator since there aren't any other lights, in the shop classes there are some wrap-arounds (again that are never on) that appear to be the emergency lights. Overall a rather odd system, though I've never seen it in operation.
Now all they want is central systems and ballast back-ups My high school had small units but was replaced by a 120v central system middle school had a central system as well as all the schools in Pawtucket Shea has a VERY old system but it works good.
