Buyers Guide Tips

What to Look for in Double Face Exit Signs

  • Two-sided visibility: True dual legends for opposing traffic in center corridors and open areas.
  • Viewing distance: Confirm character height/contrast to achieve target viewing (e.g., 6" letters up to ~100 ft per spec).
  • Egress performance: UL 924 listing with a minimum 90-minute emergency runtime.
  • Faces & chevrons: Field-selectable directional arrows; red or green legends as required by the site.
  • Mounting options: Universal wall, ceiling, or pendant/conduit hardware; verify canopy/hub details.
  • Construction: Thermoplastic or metal housings with tamper resistance where needed.
  • Power & diagnostics: Dual 120/277 VAC input and optional self-testing for automated checks.

Ideal for large corridors, open-plan offices, stairwell landings, and retail spaces, double-sided signs enhance safety and compliance without additional fixtures. Options include edge-lit designs as well as non-electrical choices like photoluminescent exit signs and tritium self-luminous exit signs. LED versions offer long-life, energy-efficient illumination; battery-backup models provide 90 minutes of emergency operation. Most configurations support field-selectable chevrons and red or green legends, with universal wall, ceiling, or pendant mounting.

Dual faces eliminate blind spots, ensuring exits are clearly marked no matter where occupants approach—improving emergency preparedness and helping you meet life-safety codes.

Can I choose legend color and add chevrons?

Most models offer red or green LED legends with field-selectable chevrons so you can set directionality on site for each face.

What is the typical viewing distance?

Commonly up to 100 ft for 6" letters with uniform illumination (verify the rating for your specific model and jurisdiction).

Do double face exit signs include battery backup?

Battery-backup versions provide at least 90 minutes of illumination using sealed Ni-Cd or lithium packs; confirm runtime and recharge specs on the cut sheet.

Are edge-lit or non-electrical options available?

Yes. Many lines include edge-lit LED designs; some projects use photoluminescent or self-luminous (tritium) double-face signs where allowed—ensure UL 924 listing and placement requirements are met.

How are they mounted?

Universal hardware typically supports wall, ceiling, pendant, or T-bar grid mounting. Choose the canopy/bracket set that matches your ceiling type.

Are damp or wet-location versions available?

Many models are damp-location rated. For direct spray or exterior exposure, specify wet-location or NEMA/IP-rated enclosures and verify ambient limits.

Do they support self-testing diagnostics?

Yes. Self-diagnostic variants automate monthly 30-second and annual 90-minute tests and indicate faults via a status LED for faster inspections.
