Edge-Lit Exit Signs

Edge-Lit Exit Signs

Edge-lit exit signs offer a refined alternative to standard boxy fixtures, using illuminated acrylic panels to deliver a clean, floating appearance. These signs are a popular choice in offices, retail stores, and upscale interiors where aesthetics matter just as much as safety.

Designed for performance and compliance, edge-lit fixtures meet UL 924, NFPA 101, and OSHA standards with 90-minute battery backup. They feature laser-etched lettering for uniform illumination and edge-mounted LEDs that reduce power consumption.

Most models offer field-selectable directional arrows, universal mounting for wall, ceiling, or recessed installations, and a choice of red or green LED legends. Clear or mirrored acrylic panels enhance architectural visibility while maintaining a minimalist look.

Whether you’re outfitting a corporate lobby, healthcare setting, or multi-use commercial facility, edge-lit exit signs combine modern design with code-compliant performance.
