Portal Exit, Hess America • The Portal Exit bollard, part of the Portal family of exterior luminaires, provides visual guidance to exits and paths of egress where wall- or ceiling-mounting is not an option. It can be used for myriad applications including rooftop gardens, outdoor entertainment spaces, and swimming pool decks. UL924-compliant for exit signage, the bollard is available with either green or red lettering and consumes just 9W of power. Made of an extruded aluminum housing, the bollard measures 39.4″ tall by 12″ wide by 3″ deep and conceals the LED driver in a weatherproof enclosure. Standard finishes are finely textured matte silver gray metallic, graphite gray, or dark gray. Optional RAL finishes are also available. • hessamerica.com
EZ Exits, Fulham • This emergency LED lighting solution is designed to be installed into typical T-Grid ceiling systems. Sold as a kit, EZ Exits are comprised of two components: an LED light bar—available in either a 2′ or 4′ length—and a HotSpot Constant Power emergency driver. From below, it appears that the light bar is part of the ceiling grid, but when power goes out, the light bar illuminates, powered by a Ni-Cd battery. The system provides up to 90 minutes of emergency power and 2,500 lumens. Operates on 120V to 277V AC power. • fulham.com
