You might have a problem with that as the Code requires a specific battery capacity, (operating time), for such fixtures and the addition of another load might shorten that time below limits for the new installation. A possible solution is phosphorescent exit signs. [who]<a href="http://www.completeschools.com/"> Irv S</a> The Manufacturer of the Unit can probably provide

They have to be illuminated in dark areas and night time during store hours. I usually wire the exits to remain on 24/7 wether occupied or not. Some exit sign are also battery back up in case of power failure They are wired separate from emergency lights. Emergency lights are battery operated and when fully charged will illuminate the area needed for about an hour during a power failure. They will come on during the day time if there is a power failure unless they have a photo electric sensor. Emergency lights cost about $35.00 and can be hard wired or plugged into an outlet. Check with electrical or fire codes as to which one is admissible. Emergency light have to wired into circuits that are on 24/7 as they operate on power failures. Exit signs are manufactured different than the lights. They are not that expensive for what they do All items needed are available at the Depot [who]<a href="http://www.besthomeorganizers.com"> Bill</a> Fire code states that the exit signs (red or green) be installed and lit over each fire exit door or hall way leading to an exit.
