Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP65 Weatherproof rating and when is it needed?
IP65 means the exit light is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. This rating is essential for outdoor exit lights to ensure they continue functioning reliably through rain, humidity, and exposure. The Whale's IP65 rating ensures the internal electronics and battery remain protected in harsh weather conditions.
Can the Whale be installed indoors?
Yes, however for most well-protected indoor areas our standard Exit Signs will offer a more cost-effective solution.
Is a remote-access 'networked' option available?
Yes, the networked WHALE-LR variant features Elumen's mesh network. If you're interested in networked weatherproof exit lighting with 24/7 cloud monitoring, remote testing, and management across multiple sites, please contact us.
