I doubt the AHJ has any input. It is all based on the photometeric calculations done to determine proper spacing of the fixtures. They would have to specify a height to perfrom these calculations What ever height the engineer used is what you need to use.

If thats not avaiable, I would go with 90" so they are the same height as the wall mounted exit signs

that's a great question. Depends on the ceiling height, the fixture, and possibly some other things. Around here it's anywhere from 8 to 14' .

i do not think there is a standard height....and it seems the only time we have to move or reinstall them is when we installed them EXACTLY per print...i usually have the sales rep layout the job....

Is this a battery pack alone, connected to remote emergency lights, or a battery pack integrated with single/double/triple lamp holders attached to the same housing?
