WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEC AND LED?
LEC (Light Emitting Capacitor) and innovative “smart” driver technologies are the latest development in energy efficiency. The
combination of these two elements provides a highly visible and ultra energy efficient light source with a long lifetime. LECs
provide the same type of electroluminescence as LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) but there is a significant difference: LEDs emit light
using a direct electrical current through a diode structure that allows current to pass only in one direction. LECs, however, emit
light using an alternating electric field through a capacitor structure which allows for small amounts of leakage current to pass
through in two directions. This allows for a much more even spread of light and energy efficiency. Electroluminscent lamps are
less than half the thickness of a credit card, allowing for very thin and durable signage.
CONFORMANCE TO CODES AND STANDARDS
The LEC series is UL listed and meets or exceeds the following: UL 924, NEC, OSHA and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code
requirements.
CONSTRUCTION
The LEC series is contructed from an impact and scratchresistant polycarbonate/ABS blend. Housing is UV stable and
flame retardant. White housing is standard, black housing
available.
INSTALLATION
The LEC is suitable for surface wall, side and top mounting via
included canopy. Knock-out chevrons for customized egress
signage.
ILLUMINATION
LEC exit signs are powered by electroluminescence using LECs
(light emitting capacitors) and “smart” driver technologies. The lamps themselves are less than half the thickness of a
credit card contributing to the ultra-thin design of the sign. See page 1 for additional info on LEC technology.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Dual voltage 120/277 input operation. For battery backup
units, a LED display indicates AC/ON. An external push button
test switch allows maintenance personnel to quickly
determine operational status.
BATTERY - BATTERY BACKUP ONLY
The LEC series is designed with a maintenance-free NiCad
battery that provides a minimum emergency duration of 120
minutes. Recharge time of the battery is 24 hours. Operational temperature range is 65°F (18°C) to 85°F (30°C).

EMERGENCY OPERATION - BATTERY BACKUP ONLY
Upon failure of the normal utility power, an internal solidstate transfer switch automatically provides uninterrupted
emergency operation for at least 120 minutes. Recharging a
discharged battery happens within 24 hours.
