Single Circuit. All lamps are wired to a single circuit.
DCT Dual Circuit. Two light levels are achieved by switching separate rows of lamps in
the same fixture on two independently switched circuits. Dual circuit fixtures share a
common neutral.
For fixtures or runs with 2 lamps in the cross section the standard circuiting is one
side is wired to circuit “A” and the other side is wired to a circuit “B”.

The default for a fixture with 3 lamps (or more) in the cross section is the row of
lamps on the outside are wired to a switched circuit “A” and the lamps located in the
middle are wired to a switched circuit “B”.

Alternating Lamp Circuits. Lamps in the same cross section are wired to one circuit
and the next cross section is wired to the second circuit. These two circuits alternate
across the fixture row. Alternating lamp circuits share a common neutral.

1SE
1 Section. One 4FT module per run will have an Emergency Lighting option.
2SE
2 Sections. Two 4FT modules per run.
The standard maximum number of 4FT modules is one per 4 / 8 /12 foot fixture section.
Emergency Type
EL
Emergency battery pack. In the event of a power failure the battery pack will
supply emergency power. Each battery pack will be connected to one lamp unless
otherwise specified.

Emergency Circuit or Night Light circuit. When used as an emergency circuit, separate circuit
wiring is provided for an alternate building power source (generator, uninterruptable power supply,
etc.) When used as a nightlight circuit, separate circuit wiring is provided for an un-switched
circuit so that designated lamps will always remain on. Each emergency or nightlight circuit will be
connected to a single lamp when only one lamp is in the cross section. When two or more lamps
are in the cross section the two outer most lamps will be connected to the circuit.

Emergency Battery Pack with Night Light circuit. This option combines EL and EC options into one
emergency section. Like EC, this option provides a separate circuit for connection to an alternate
building power source (generator, uninterruptable power supply, etc.) or to an un-switched circuit
for the specific use as a nightlight. When lamps are powered by an alternate building power source
or un-switched circuit the two most outer lamps will be lit or a single lamp in the case of a one
lamp cross section. Additionally, like EL, in the event of a power failure a battery pack will supply
emergency power to one lamp unless otherwise specified.
