PRODUCT OVERVIEW: Greentorch’s LEC (Light Emitting Capacitor) illuminating technology is ultra energy efficient and uses a continuous layer of millions of microscopic encapsulated zinc sulfide photon emitting crystals to create a bright and evenly illuminated exit sign. The LEC Series uses only a fifth of a watt of electricity, making it the most energy efficient electrically powered exit sign in the industry. The thin profile and compact design of our LEC sign adds to its aesthetic appeal. LEC lighting technology has been in use in exit signs for over 10 years providing superior performance. The LEC exit sign’s long lifespan is due to the direct viewing of tiny solid-state light sources, which maintain their collective uniformity. Other lighting technologies rely on redirected light to provide uniform illumination, which diminishes over time, causing unbalanced light output resulting in unreadable and unsafe exit signs. The LEC Series comes with green letters in either a white or black ABS thermoplastic housing.

CONSTRUCTION: Precision molded housing and mounting canopy constructed of impact-resistant, UV stable, flame-retarding ABS alloy which resists scratching and denting. NFPA field selectable chevrons are provided. Available in Black and White standard finishes.

ILLUMINATION: Illumination is provided by Greentorch’s proprietary LEC panel, which provides millions of microscopic light emitting crystals to achieve unequaled uniformity. The green pigment emitted by the LEC panel is regarded as the most universally recognizable green color frequency for the human eye.

EXIT FACE:
Letter Size: 6” letters with 3/4” stroke
Directional Indicators: Infield applicable chevron arrows sized to meet UL visibility requirements.

BATTERY TECHNOLOGY: The LEC Series models with the battery backup option are designed to use a maintenance free, sealed Nickel-Cadmium battery pack that provides a minimum 90 minutes of emergency operation. When lamp heads are added to make the LEC sign a combination exit sign with emergency lights, the battery used is Nickel Metal Hydride. Recharge time of the battery is 24 hours. The maximum battery working temperature is 50 C or 122 F.

INSTALLATION: Greentorch’s LEC signs are factory configured Top/Ceiling Mount, Back Wall Mount and Right or Left Side Wall Mount, Flush Mount for easy field installation.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS: The LEC lamp brightness is increased by about 25% and will operate for up to 2 hours on the battery system.
Utility Input: 120/277VAC, 60 Hz.
