E2 Lighting serves safety-critical spaces. The catalog covers fixtures and lamps with integrated backup. Two standouts lead most retrofits: a shop light with emergency battery and T8 EBBU Emergency Tubes. This guide explains where each option fits best and why both align with code-ready egress needs. 


Shop Light with Emergency Battery

E2 Lighting offers a 4-ft LED wraparound shop light with a pre-wired emergency battery. The fixture installs fast. Contractors avoid separate EM kits. The unit is wattage-selectable at 30W, 35W, or 40W. It is CCT-selectable at 3500K/4000K/5000K. It operates on 120–277V and supports 0–10V dimming. Listings include UL and DLC Premium. During an outage, the integrated 4W pack provides approximately 90 minutes of light. Warranty coverage spans five years. 

This shop light is suitable for new installations and one-for-one replacements. Teams gain a clean look and predictable performance. Work bays, corridors, and utility rooms benefit most. The result stays simple, compliant, and quick to commission. 


T8 EBBU Emergency Tubes

T8 EBBU Emergency Tubes drop into existing housings after a safe ballast bypass (Type B). They run on 120–277V. Each lamp includes a test button and status indicators. Typical models provide 90 minutes of emergency illumination. Select versions offer up to 180 minutes in EM mode. Listings include ETL and DLC Standard. Rated life reaches 50,000 hours. The internal lithium battery features charge and discharge protection. 

These tubes are designed to fit buildings that already use strips, wraps, or troffers. Facilities in education, hospitality, multifamily housing, and warehousing utilize them extensively. Hallways, stairwells, exits, and common areas remain visible during outages.

 

Quick Chooser

  • Need a brand-new fixture: Choose the shop light with an emergency battery for a clean, integrated solution.
  • Maintaining existing housing: Opt for T8 EBBU Emergency Tubes for a low-disruption retrofit.
  • Target runtime: The standard is 90 minutes. Some tube models provide up to 180 minutes of playback time. Match to the life-safety plan.
  • Want tuning and controls: Both options offer selectable CCT. The shop light also offers wattage selection and 0-10V dimming.
  • Seeking listings and support: Expect UL/ETL and DLC certification on covered models, along with a five-year warranty. 


Broader System Planning

E2 Lighting also supplies panels and downlights with integrated emergency battery backup. 2×2 and 2×4 flat panels include an 8W pack for 90 minutes. The front-face indicator and test button simplify inspections. Slim downlights provide selectable wattage and CCT with 90 minutes of backup. These families help standardize parts across rooms and floors. 


Installation Notes

Keep wiring safe and compliant. T8 EBBU tubes require a ballast bypass. Follow the spec for double-ended wiring when applicable. Label the fixture after conversion. Test monthly. Use the built-in button and monitor indicators. Keep documentation for inspectors. Record DLC/ETL listings and warranty info in the project file. 



Bottom Line

E2 Lighting enables two strong paths to resilient egress lighting. The shop light with emergency battery simplifies new installs and replacements. T8 EBBU Emergency Tubes protect budgets and speed retrofits. Both choices provide reliable coverage of 90 minutes, with tube options that can be extended to 180 minutes as needed. Facility teams can pair these with panel and downlight families to complete a coherent, code-aligned strategy.
