Our Connecticut-approved exit signs and emergency lights are designed to meet state and federal requirements, including the Connecticut State Building Code (CSBC), State Fire Safety Code (SFSC), UL 924, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These accessibility-ready fixtures are ideal for schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, and multi-family housing. Explore related categories: exit signs and emergency lights.
Connecticut-compliant signage includes tactile lettering, field-selectable chevrons, and optional accessibility symbols (ISA wheelchair or running-man pictograms) to support clear egress communication. Many models offer self-testing exit signs and self-testing emergency lights to automate monthly/annual inspections and reduce maintenance.
Products are available in single-face and double-face configurations with LED or photoluminescent illumination and support wall, ceiling, or end-mount hardware. Backup power systems provide a minimum of 90 minutes of emergency runtime to maintain compliant visibility during outages.

Products must be UL 924 listed and installed to meet NFPA 101, the Connecticut State Building Code (CSBC), and the State Fire Safety Code (SFSC). Local AHJ interpretations apply.
Yes—where signs identify doors/paths along accessible routes. Provide raised characters with Grade 2 Braille per ADA/ANSI A117.1 at the required mounting height.
Mount the tactile plaque so the baseline of the lowest raised character is 48 in min and the highest is 60 in max above the finished floor. Place it on the latch-side of the door unless exceptions apply.
No. Overhead illuminated EXIT signs provide visual wayfinding. A separate wall-mounted tactile/Braille sign is used for ADA identification at accessible locations.
Pictograms are allowed and often recommended for universal comprehension, but usage and placement are AHJ-dependent. Use only approved symbols where required by project specs.
Both are commonly accepted when UL 924 listed and high-contrast. Verify any jurisdictional preference with the AHJ and project documents.
Yes, if they are UL 924 listed and installed per manufacturer instructions (adequate charging illumination, placement, and plaques). Confirm acceptance with the AHJ.
Perform a monthly 30-second functional test and an annual 90-minute test. Self-testing units are acceptable when they provide status indication and records per code.
Usually yes. EXIT signs mark the route, while emergency lights provide required illumination levels along the path of egress. Many occupancies need both systems to be compliant.
Limit wall projections to ≤4 in within the 27–80 in zone above the floor and maintain 80 in headroom. Provide required clear floor space at controls and doors.
