Edge-Lit Combo Exit Signs – Sleek, Low-Profile Egress Lighting

Edge-lit combo exit signs integrate modern LED EXIT signage with emergency lighting heads in a compact, architectural housing. These units are designed for high-visibility egress marking and path illumination in design-conscious spaces such as office lobbies, retail stores, hotels, and public buildings.

Each fixture features a laser-etched acrylic EXIT panel—clear, mirrored, or frosted—illuminated from the edge by low-wattage LEDs. Built-in emergency lamp heads activate during power loss, providing at least 90 minutes of battery-backed lighting in compliance with UL 924 and NFPA 101 standards. Adjustable heads ensure targeted coverage along exit paths or stairwells.

These sleek combo units offer universal mounting kits for wall, ceiling, or end installation, and many include field-selectable directional chevrons to align with your building's layout. Dual-voltage (120/277 VAC) input, self-testing diagnostics, and low-profile aluminum housings make edge-lit combos a preferred choice for facilities balancing aesthetics and code compliance.

Edge-lit combo signs are often used in place of bulky plastic fixtures when architectural integration matters. Their minimalist appearance complements upscale interiors while still delivering critical life-safety functionality.
