Compass Products CU2B CU2B

Yes. The CU2B emergency unit takes a dual-voltage 120/277 AC input, so the same unit can be installed on either circuit without ordering a different model. That matters on jobs where corridors run 277V and tenant spaces run 120V, since you can standardize on one part across the building.

The CU2B runs 90 minutes of emergency lighting on its Nickel Cadmium battery, and that 90 minute duration is UL recognized. Ninety minutes is the standard egress duration most building and life safety inspections look for.

Yes, the CU2B is offered with a remote capacity option or an extended runtime option. Remote capacity lets one unit feed separate remote heads where you need light in an adjacent room, closet or stair landing without a second self-contained fixture. Those are ordering options, so specify which one you need when you order rather than assuming the standard unit includes them.

Both lamp-heads on the CU2B are fully adjustable, so you can aim light down a corridor in two directions or concentrate both heads on a stair run or an exit discharge. That is how you hit the required path-of-egress coverage without adding a second unit in short runs.

There is a test switch and an AC-On indicator on the unit. The indicator confirms the CU2B is receiving normal power and charging; pressing the test switch drops it to battery so you can confirm the heads light, which is what an inspector asks you to demonstrate on a walkthrough.

The CU2B uses a snap together design for quick installation, which is what makes it fast on retrofit work where you are replacing aging units across a property. Its LED heads carry a life-cycle of more than 10 years, so compared with an incandescent twin-head unit you are not back on a ladder changing lamps. Fit to a specific existing box depends on the box and pattern you already have, so check the opening on the first one before you order the rest.

Black and white are the two finishes offered on the CU2B. White blends into standard painted drywall corridors; black is the usual pick for dark ceilings, exposed structure and retail or restaurant spaces where you do not want the unit reading as white plastic.

Order it as Compass Products CU2B. That is the manufacturer part number for the dual-head LED emergency unit with the 90 minute nickel cadmium battery and 120/277 dual-voltage input.
