The emergency light module 2 is used for providing emergency light. Herein, an emergency light indicator specifically designed for being set on a wall is referred to a wall-type emergency light indicator, as depicted in FIGS. 1A and 1B.



FIG. 2 is a schematic exploded diagram of the emergency-light indicator as depicted in FIGS. 1A and 1B. The indication light module 1 primarily comprises a front cover module 11, a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) module 12, a frame 13, a plurality of battery modules 14 and a back panel module 15. The front cover module 11 is configured in front of the frame 13 and an emergency indication sign 111 is displayed on thereof. The back panel module 15 is configured in back of the frame 13; it is noticed that the emergency indication sign 111 may also be displayed on the back panel module 15 if necessary. The PCB module 12 and the battery modules 14 are configured in the frame 13. A latching groove module 131 with a right-angle shape is configured on both the top and bottom sides of the frame 13.


Still referring to FIG. 2, the emergency light module 2 primarily comprises a bracket set and two LED (Light Emitting Diode) modules. The bracket set is primarily structured by a bracket panel 21 and a main bracket 27. Via a latch of the bracket panel 21 and the main bracket 27, the aforementioned bracket set is structured. Each of the LED modules is primarily structured by a lens 22, a reflect-light ring 23, a first spring 24, a second spring 29, a LED PCB 25, a right cover 26 and a left cover 28. The lens 22 is configured in front of the reflect-light ring 23. The LED PCB 25 is configured in the back of the reflect-light ring 23. The right cover 26 and the left cover 28 can be latched together, and via a latch of the right cover 26 and the left cover 28 with the lens 22, the reflect-light ring 23 and the LED PCB 25 inside the aforementioned LED module is structured. The LED module is installed to the bracket set via the first spring 24 and the second spring 29.
