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.
For applications requiring an ultra-slim design, view our selection of low-profile exit signage engineered for minimal wall or ceiling projection without sacrificing code compliance.
Facilities that prefer an alternative to red-letter signs can explore our green LED exit sign options, which offer a modern aesthetic while remaining compliant with visibility and safety regulations.
Architectural exit signage ensures safety without compromising design integrity—ideal for new builds or renovations where both form and function matter equally.
