2 Watt LED Exit Sign | 90 Minute Battery Backup | Wet Location Rated

Product Overview

This 2 Watt LED Exit Sign is designed for emergency egress and pathway marking in commercial and industrial environments. It provides clear, visible exit identification with selectable red or green lettering and arrow options. The fixture is suitable for wet locations and is built to operate reliably in areas exposed to moisture or periodic washdown.

Typical installations include surface mounting above doors, in corridors, and at exit points in facilities requiring code-compliant life safety signage. The integrated 90-minute battery backup ensures continued operation during power loss, supporting safe evacuation procedures.

Core Performance and Output

This exit sign delivers 2 watts of LED illumination at 5000K, providing high-visibility signage in both normal and emergency modes. The fixture operates on 100-277V input with a power factor above 0.90 and total harmonic distortion below 20%. The output is optimized for clear legibility in low and normal ambient light conditions.

Uniform illumination is maintained across the faceplate, with no significant hotspots or dim areas. Excessive ambient light or direct sunlight on the sign face may reduce contrast and visibility. The 2-watt output is appropriate for standard mounting heights in corridors and above doors.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture includes field-selectable options for red or green lettering and directional arrows, allowing adaptation to site-specific egress plans. No dimming or remote control features are provided, as is standard for code-compliant exit signage.

Battery backup is automatic, switching to emergency mode upon loss of normal power. Test buttons and indicators are accessible for routine inspection and maintenance checks.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED light source is rated for 50,000 hours of operation, minimizing maintenance intervals compared to fluorescent or incandescent exit signs. The battery backup system provides a minimum of 90 minutes of illumination during outages, meeting code requirements for emergency egress.

Routine battery testing and periodic replacement are recommended to ensure long-term reliability. The fixture is designed for consistent performance in environments subject to humidity, water spray, or cleaning procedures.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from injection-molded, fire-resistant thermoplastic ABS, providing durability and resistance to impact and heat. The fixture measures 12.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 8 inches high, supporting installation in standard exit sign locations.

IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water jets, suitable for wet location use. The white finish and low-profile design support integration with a range of commercial and industrial interiors.

Where This Product Fits Best

This LED exit sign is intended for use in environments requiring reliable, code-compliant egress marking and emergency exit identification. It is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects in commercial, industrial, and public facilities.

• egress lighting
• emergency exit lighting
• code compliance lighting
• life safety lighting
• commercial building exit marking
• industrial facility exit lighting
• warehouse exit lighting
• public building exit lighting

Environmental characteristics include wet location suitability, fire-resistant housing, and operation in a wide range of indoor and covered outdoor settings. Not intended for hazardous or explosion-proof environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Surface mounting hardware is included for installation on walls or ceilings above exit doors and along egress routes. The fixture is lightweight and sized for single-person installation. Electrical connections support 100-277V operation, compatible with most commercial wiring systems.

Routine inspection of the battery backup system is required to maintain code compliance. The IP65 enclosure supports installation in areas subject to cleaning or moisture, but not direct submersion or continuous water exposure.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Exit signs are typically installed above exit doors, at corridor intersections, and along designated egress paths. Mounting heights generally range from 7 to 10 feet above finished floor, depending on ceiling height and line-of-sight requirements.

Spacing is determined by building layout and code requirements, with additional signs placed at changes in direction or where exits are not immediately visible. Higher output is not required for most applications, as excessive brightness can cause glare and reduce legibility in darkened conditions.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and IP65 rated. The housing is fire-resistant and suitable for wet locations. The product includes a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and component failure under normal use.

Meets requirements for emergency egress and exit marking in commercial and industrial facilities. Battery backup provides a minimum of 90 minutes of illumination during power loss.
