Spotted in the Wild – Exit Signs & Emergency Lights That Do It Right
Since joining the Emergency Lights Co. team, I’ve developed a habit—some might call it an obsession—of spotting exit signs and emergency lights wherever I go. It’s like birdwatching, but with glowing signage instead of rare feathers. I may not keep a journal (yet), but I do admire great lighting installs when I see them. Here's a roundup of a few standout sightings worth sharing.
Self-Luminous Exit Sign with Green Face
This beauty is a self-luminous tritium exit sign with a green face, mounted above a pair of glass doors on a sleek glass wall.
Not only does this sign blend well with modern architecture, it glows brilliantly during power outages—thanks to the tritium gas sealed inside. No wires, no batteries, no maintenance. And best of all, it lasts up to 20 years while staying fully compliant with building codes.
Low Profile Black Thermoplastic Halogen Emergency Light
Next up is a stylish and functional emergency lighting fixture: a black Low Profile Thermoplastic Emergency Light with MR16 halogen lamp heads. It’s mounted against a cream-colored wall and looks sharp doing it.
This light isn’t just good-looking—it’s powerful. The dual halogen MR16 lamps provide reliable, intense illumination during emergencies, and the compact housing makes it ideal for modern interiors.
Red LED Exit Sign – Affordable and Efficient
Sometimes basic is best. This Red LED Exit Sign is one of our bestsellers, and for good reason.
It’s affordable, efficient, and includes punch-out directional arrows—no stickers or extra parts needed. Whether you’re mounting it above a door or along a hallway, it provides reliable performance with a clean look and meets all UL 924 code requirements.
Exit Sign Enthusiasm – It’s Real
So the next time you're walking through a hotel, store, or movie theater, take a look up—you might just spot a high-performing exit sign or emergency light in the wild. Whether it’s maintenance-free tritium, sleek thermoplastic, or reliable LED, there’s a fixture for every situation.
