Architectural Exit Signs – Elegant, Code-Compliant LED Egress Solutions
Architectural exit signs are crafted for spaces where life-safety compliance must meet modern design standards. These fixtures feature edge-lit, recessed, or low-profile housings that provide clean, minimal visuals while maintaining clear EXIT visibility. Using energy-efficient LED edge-illumination technology, they offer uniform, glare-free legend lighting suited for high-end environments.
Commonly installed in lobbies, museums, corporate offices, boutique hotels, and design-forward retail spaces, architectural exit signs are available in a variety of finishes—including brushed aluminum, white, and matte black—to complement surrounding aesthetics. Each unit supports dual-voltage input (120/277 VAC), includes field-selectable directional arrows, and is UL 924 listed and NFPA 101 compliant for emergency egress standards.
Many models are equipped with self-testing diagnostics that automate routine inspections, as well as lithium-ion or Ni-Cd battery systems capable of delivering a full 90 minutes of emergency illumination during power loss. Whether surface-mounted or fully recessed into drywall or T-bar ceilings, these signs are engineered to disappear into their surroundings while maintaining full safety function.
