What is an architectural exit sign combo?
An architectural combo combines a design-forward EXIT sign with integrated emergency heads and a 90-minute battery. It reduces fixture count and preserves clean sightlines without sacrificing code-required egress illumination.

Housings often use die-cast aluminum or architectural-grade thermoplastic with brushed or matte finishes that complement modern interiors—offices, hospitality, galleries, and public venues. Many models offer red or green legends, field-applied chevrons, and single- or double-face configurations.

All units provide at least 90 minutes of emergency illumination to meet UL 924, with options for self-testing diagnostics that run automated monthly/annual checks. Adjustable LED heads improve spacing along corridors and stairwells.

For installations exposed to moisture or wash-down, consider wet-location exit sign combos. For industrial or harsh environments requiring sealed enclosures, explore NEMA-rated emergency lighting.
