Commercial LED Exit Signs and Emergency Lights

What are LED Lighting Supply Exit Signs?

Emergency exit signs provide illuminated guidance to the nearest exit during power outages or emergencies. Our LED exit signs use less than 5 watts and maintain visibility up to 100 feet. Built-in NiMH battery backup systems automatically activate during power loss, delivering illumination for 90+ minutes to meet code requirements.

What are LED Lighting Supply Emergency Lights?

LED emergency lights turn on instantly during power disruptions, illuminating exit pathways. We recommend models with dual LED heads that provide 400-800 lumens of coverage (model dependent). Advanced power management ensures reliable operation, and integrated self-testing verifies battery and lamp function monthly, reducing maintenance.

What are the Types of LED Lighting Supply Exit Signs and LED Emergency Lights?

• LED Red Exit Signs: Red lettering, common in US commercial settings. Output reaches 15 cd/m2 for visibility in smoky conditions.
• LED Green Exit Signs: Green lettering, preferred in healthcare and modern buildings. Studies show green can increase recognition speed by 2.5 seconds in emergencies (results vary).
• LED Single Face Clear Edge Lit Exit Signs: Edge-lit design with a 0.5-inch profile, ideal for modern spaces. Available in red or green, optimized for single-direction viewing.
• LED Double Face Clear Edge Lit Exit Signs: Dual-sided edge-lit construction for hallway intersections and centerline mounting. Uniform light covers 180-degree viewing angles.
• Hazardous-Location Exit Signs: Explosion-proof housings rated for Class I, Division 2 environments like chemical plants. All units undergo UL844 explosive atmosphere testing.
• Fire-proof Emergency Exit Signs: Fire-resistant construction withstands direct flame for specified durations. Most standard models do not offer this protection, so selection is critical for high-risk areas.
• LED Exit Sign With Emergency Lights: Combination units integrate signage with dual-head emergency lighting. This design reduces installation points and ensures 90+ minute backup.
• High-Temperature Emergency Exit Lights: Designed for continuous use in temperatures up to 140 F (verify model ratings), suitable for boiler rooms, kitchens, and industrial spaces.

What Types of Mounting are Common with LED Lighting Supply Exit Signs?

• Surface Mount Exit Signs: Attach directly to wall or ceiling. Universal brackets fit standard 4-inch junction boxes and allow adjustable positioning for visibility.
• Recessed Mount Exit Signs: Flush installation requires ceiling cutouts for clean integration. Best for suspended ceilings and tamper-resistant placement in high-traffic areas. Always verify requirements with fixture specifications.

What are the Common Certifications Associated with LED Exit Signs?

Our emergency lighting systems meet safety and performance standards through third-party testing (confirm compliance with your local AHJ):

• UL Listed for Damp Locations: Safety testing for reliable operation in humid areas like stairwells and loading docks.
• The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): NFPA guidelines specify illumination levels and backup durations for safe evacuation during fire emergencies.
• The National Electric Code (NEC): Electrical installation standards covering circuit protection, wiring, and emergency power for life safety lighting.
• OSHA: OSHA regulations set minimum emergency lighting requirements for workplace safety, including monthly testing and maintenance documentation.

Installation Considerations for Maximum Performance

• Surface Mount Applications: Wall-mounted units should be 6-8 feet above floor for visibility. Ceiling mounting is suitable for 10+ foot ceilings where wall space is limited.
• Recessed Installation Benefits: Flush mounting prevents damage in narrow corridors and maintains clean sightlines. Professional installation is recommended for proper heat dissipation and code compliance in fire-rated ceilings.

Safety and Performance Certifications

Our fixtures carry key certifications, including DLC Premium (model dependent), UL Listed, and ETL Listed per listed certifications. UL and ETL cover electrical safety and performance. DLC Premium certifies energy efficiency and rebate eligibility. These certifications help qualify your project for utility rebates and tax incentives, subject to local requirements.

5 Year Warranty and Warranty Support

All our lights include at least a 5-year warranty, with USA-based support. Our team understands the importance of keeping your lighting operational and will work quickly to resolve any warranty issues.

Commercial LED Exit Signs and Emergency Lights Frequently Asked Questions

What are LED exit signs and how do they work?

LED exit signs provide illuminated directional guidance during power outages, consuming less than 5 watts while maintaining visibility at distances up to 100 feet. Built-in NiMH battery backup systems automatically engage when power fails, providing continuous illumination for 90+ minutes.

What is the difference between red and green LED exit signs?

Red exit signs use traditional lettering favored in most US commercial applications with output intensity reaching 15 cd/m² for visibility in smoky conditions. Green exit signs follow international standards and are preferred for healthcare facilities and modern commercial buildings.

What are combination exit sign and emergency light units?

Combination units integrate directional signage with dual-head emergency lighting in one compact fixture, reducing installation points while ensuring 90+ minute backup duration.

What lumen output do LED emergency lights provide?

Dual LED head models deliver 400-800 lumens of emergency lighting coverage (model dependent). Verify specific lumen output on the datasheet for your selected model.

What certifications should LED exit signs have?

Exit signs should carry UL Listed or ETL Listed approvals and meet NFPA, NEC, and OSHA requirements for life safety lighting. Confirm compliance requirements with your local AHJ before ordering.

What mounting options are available for LED exit signs?

Surface mount offers direct wall or ceiling attachment using standard 4-inch junction boxes. Recessed mount provides flush installation for suspended ceiling systems and tamper-resistant positioning in high-traffic areas.

At what height should exit signs be mounted?

Wall-mounted units should be positioned 6-8 feet above floor level for optimal visibility. Ceiling mounting works well in areas with 10+ foot ceiling heights where wall space is limited.

What LED exit signs work in hazardous locations?

Hazardous-location exit signs feature explosion-proof housings rated for Class I, Division 2 environments and undergo UL844 explosive atmosphere testing for use in chemical plants and refineries.

What exit signs work in high-temperature environments?

High-temperature emergency exit lights are engineered for continuous operation in ambient temperatures reaching 140°F for boiler rooms, commercial kitchens, and industrial environments. Verify specific model ratings on the datasheet.

Do LED emergency lights have self-testing features?

Advanced models include integrated self-testing capabilities that automatically verify battery and lamp function monthly, reducing maintenance requirements.

What warranty comes with LED exit signs?
