COMPASS

COMPASS is a brand of life-safety and emergency egress equipment, with a product line centered on exit signs and emergency lighting units. The brand is part of the Hubbell Lighting portfolio, a grouping that includes other established lighting brands. COMPASS products are specified in commercial, institutional, and industrial construction where code-compliant egress marking and backup illumination are required. The range includes edge-lit and traditional exit signs, as well as LED emergency light fixtures with integrated battery backup. Housing materials span aluminum and plastic, with finishes such as satin aluminum, grey, and white. Many models are configured for surface mounting, ceiling mounting, or wall mounting, and some carry wet-location or damp-location ratings for use in areas exposed to moisture. Electrical inputs are commonly 120 V AC or dual-rated 120/277 V AC, matching typical North American commercial power systems. Battery backup is provided by nickel-cadmium or other rechargeable chemistries, with emergency output wattages varying by model and lamp head configuration. Exit sign text is available in red or green, and some units offer switchable red/green LED text. Face configurations include single-face and universal-face designs. Self-diagnostic circuitry is available on selected models, while others use manual test switches. 3G Electric supplies the COMPASS line as part of its industrial-equipment catalog, offering datasheets, SKU-level specifications, and logistics support for buyers specifying egress and emergency lighting. The catalog includes surface-mount edge-lit exit signs, wet-location-rated exit signs, and a variety of plastic and aluminum emergency light fixtures. Buyers can review details such as input voltage, lamp wattage, emergency wattage, housing material, mounting type, and environmental ratings to match the product to the installation. 3G Electric serves plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who need to verify technical attributes before purchase. The COMPASS range is positioned for new construction, retrofit, and replacement applications where reliable egress illumination is required by building codes. Typical applications include commercial office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and other spaces where exit paths must remain visible during power loss. The products are designed to meet applicable UL standards, including UL924 for emergency lighting and exit signs. 3G Electric provides global shipping and support for the COMPASS line, with access to datasheets and product documentation to assist with specification and procurement.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about COMPASS from 3G Electric.

What types of COMPASS exit signs does 3G Electric supply?

3G Electric supplies COMPASS exit signs in several configurations, including surface-mount edge-lit models with grey aluminum housings and red/green switchable LED text, as well as wet-location-rated units with red LED faces and nickel-cadmium battery backup. Mounting options cover surface, ceiling, and wall installations. Face designs include single-face and universal-face. Input voltages are typically 120 V AC or 120/277 V AC. Buyers can select models based on housing material, text color, environmental rating, and whether self-diagnostics are required. Datasheets and SKU-level specifications are available to confirm compatibility with project requirements.

Are COMPASS emergency lights suitable for wet or damp locations?

Yes, several COMPASS emergency light models are rated for wet or damp locations. For example, the CSWEU2LED and CU2WG are wet-location-rated plastic emergency lights with two LED lamp heads, operating on 120/277 V AC. The CU2 and CU2SQ series are damp-location-rated and feature adjustable lamp heads. These ratings make them suitable for areas exposed to moisture, such as covered outdoor walkways, parking structures, and certain industrial spaces. Always verify the specific model's environmental rating against the installation conditions and local code requirements.

What battery backup options are available in COMPASS emergency lighting?

COMPASS emergency lighting products use rechargeable battery backup to maintain illumination during power interruptions. Battery chemistries include nickel-cadmium, as seen in the CEWSRE wet-location exit sign. Emergency output wattages vary by model and lamp configuration, ranging from approximately 1.8 W to 5.4 W in the plastic emergency light series. Some models include self-diagnostic circuitry, while others have manual test switches. The battery backup is integral to the fixture and is designed to meet UL924 requirements for emergency lighting. Specific runtime and recharge specifications should be confirmed from the product datasheet.

What input voltages do COMPASS exit signs and emergency lights require?

Most COMPASS exit signs and emergency lights operate on 120/277 V AC dual-rated input, which covers common commercial and industrial power systems in North America. Some models, such as the CU2SO emergency light, are rated for 120 V AC only. The dual-rated units simplify specification across projects with different supply voltages. Before ordering, confirm the available voltage at the installation site and match it to the product's nameplate rating. 3G Electric provides SKU-level voltage specifications to assist with selection.

Does COMPASS offer self-diagnostic exit signs?

Selected COMPASS exit sign models include self-diagnostic functionality, which automatically tests emergency operation and battery condition at scheduled intervals. However, not all models have this feature; for example, the surface-mount edge-lit exit sign with grey aluminum housing is specified as non-self-diagnostic. Buyers should check the individual product specifications to determine whether self-diagnostics are included. Self-diagnostic models can reduce manual testing labor in facilities with many egress fixtures. 3G Electric lists self-diagnostic status in the product attributes for applicable SKUs.

What housing materials are used in COMPASS emergency lighting?

COMPASS emergency lighting uses both aluminum and plastic housings. The edge-lit exit sign line features satin aluminum housings, while many emergency light fixtures use plastic housings in white or grey. Wet-location exit signs may use silver plastic. Housing material affects durability, weight, and appearance, and may influence suitability for specific environments. Aluminum offers corrosion resistance and a rigid structure, while plastic is lightweight and cost-effective. The choice depends on the installation location, aesthetic requirements, and environmental exposure. Product datasheets specify the housing material for each model.
