What to Look for in Steel Exit Sign & Light Combos

  • Egress performance: UL 924 listing with verified 90-minute emergency runtime powering both legend and lamp heads.
  • Housing construction: 18/20-gauge steel, powder-coat finish, reinforced seams, and tamper-resistant hardware for high-abuse areas.
  • Lamp heads & optics: Adjustable LED heads; select lumen package and beam to meet corridor/stair foot-candle and spacing targets.
  • Legend & direction: Even illumination with field-selectable chevrons; confirm character height and viewing distance per spec.
  • Mounting & power: Universal wall/ceiling/end mounting; dual 120/277 VAC input, solid-state charger, automatic transfer.
  • Environment rating: Specify damp/wet or enclosure (NEMA/IP) where humidity, spray, dust, or wash-down are present; cold-weather options as needed.
  • Diagnostics & serviceability: Self-testing availability; favor quick-connect batteries and floor-visible status indicators for inspections.

All models are UL 924 listed and meet NFPA 101 and OSHA egress lighting standards. The integrated battery backup system delivers 90 minutes of emergency runtime, powering both the EXIT legend and lamp heads.

Most units feature long-life LEDs, universal mounting brackets for wall, ceiling, or end installation, and field-selectable directional chevrons. Optional self-testing exit sign & emergency light combos automate inspection routines and reduce manual checks.
