Frequently Asked Questions
When is a black spitfire light required?
The black finish is ideal for venues where aesthetics matter and a standard white emergency light would be visually distracting. Theatres, cinemas, restaurants, and art galleries benefit from the black spitfire's seamless integration into dark ceilings and low-light environments.
What exactly is a 'spitfire' light?
The spitfire name was originally coined by Stanilite for their halogen emergency lights several decades ago. The term has since become so iconic that people often use it generically to describe any recessed emergency light of this style.
What is a 'non-maintained emergency light'?
Spitfires are referred to as non-maintained lights because they remain off during normal operation and automatically illuminate when mains power fails. Conversely, maintained exit signs remain on in both normal and emergency operation.
Is the remote-access 'networked' option available?
The networked SUNRISE-BLK-LR variant is available for large-scale deployments. If you're interested in networked emergency lighting with remote testing and management across multiple sites, please contact us.
