ABSTRACT:
A direction-indicating device includes a control unit, which is plugged into an external power source, and a number of interconnected lights, extending in a first direction. When the external power source fails, the lights are flashed, using power from a battery in the control unit, in a sequence indicating a preferred direction of movement. The control unit may also charge the battery from the external power source, and the lights may additionally be flashed in response to a signal indicating that fire conditions exist. The direction indicated by the lights may be reversed, based on a combination of alarm units transmitting fire detection signals.
