Overview: Why Edge-Lit
Thin frames + etched acrylic deliver an upscale look and uniform letters—no hotspots. A favorite in hospitality, offices, and retail.
Illumination & Panels
- Evenly lit letters from edge-mounted LEDs.
- Clear, mirrored, or white acrylic panels by design intent.
- Field-applied chevrons for arrow direction.
Mounting & Recess Notes
Universal canopies support wall/ceiling/end mounting. Recessed kits hide hardware for minimal visual impact—confirm cavity depth.
Use Cases
High-finish corridors, lobbies, showrooms, and any interior where low profile and elegance matter.
Compliance & Testing
UL 924 emergency egress; 90-minute standby; NFPA 101/NEC compliant when installed per AHJ.
