The Kidde EWGVMRN is a Genesis LED EWG Series outdoor-rated strobe with field-selectable candela output from 15 to 115 cd. Designed for parking garages, loading docks, process areas, and any exterior application where visual notification needs to cut through harsh conditions and ambient light without compromise.
Built for outdoor and harsh-environment installs
UL 1638-listed for outdoor use and UL 1971-listed for indoor wall or ceiling applications. The operating temperature range spans -40°F to 151°F, covering everything from cold-storage facilities to sun-exposed exterior walls. The low-profile housing fits standard 4-inch square electrical boxes in dry locations, or Model 449/74347U outdoor-rated surface boxes for wet environments. Red housing with clear lens and no "FIRE" marking for applications where unmarked visual notification is required.
