Are there special requirements for fire alarm strobes on the exterior parts of the building (courtyards, etc)? Thinking that direct sunlight may interfere with the strobe.

I don't know of any special requirements. I know that the many outfits that I have worked for, there always seems to be buildings that have outdoor strobe lights which have turned amber in color due to the effects of sunlight over time. I would like to have them replaced, but management always says there is no money for that --- especially if it is not a direct code violation. Leave a Reply. |
