End Mount Exit Signs – Versatile, Overhead Egress Lighting Solutions
End mount exit signs are designed for ceiling, pendant, or soffit installations where wall mounting isn’t feasible. These fixtures feature side-mounted housings that provide clear visibility across corridors, stairwells, and open spaces. They meet UL 924 and NFPA 101 standards, typically offering a visible legend up to 100 ft away.
Ideal for high-ceiling corridors, retail aisles, atriums, and stairway landings, end-mount designs often include dual-voltage support, universal mounting canopies, and low-profile housing. Many models offer field-selectable directional chevrons, edge-lit LED legends, and integrated battery backup for at least 90 minutes.
Best-practice guidance from NFPA 101 recommends mounting the bottom of any exit sign no more than 6′‑8″ above the egress opening—end-mount signs serve this standard when ceiling mounted above doors or corridors.
What is an end mount exit sign? It’s an exit sign with a mounting bracket on the narrow end of the housing—ideal for ceiling, pendant, or soffit installations where wall mounting isn't practical and visibility is needed across open spaces.

FAQs About End Mount Exit Signs
❓ What is an end mount exit sign?
End mount exit signs have housings designed to install perpendicular to the wall—often from the ceiling or soffit—to provide visibility in corridor centers or high ceilings.
❓ Where are these signs typically used?
They are ideal for **long corridors, stair landings, retail aisles, atriums**, and other spaces where wall space is limited or sightlines require overhead visibility.
❓ How high should an end mount sign be installed?
NFPA 101 advises that the bottom of the sign should not exceed 6′‑8″ above the top of egress openings—end mount designs help maintain this height when installed overhead.
❓ Do they include emergency backup?
Yes, all models include rechargeable batteries that provide at least 90 minutes of illumination during power failures.
❓ Can they include directional arrows?
Yes, most feature field-selectable directional chevrons to guide occupants along exit routes.
❓ Are there mounting options available?
Yes—end mount exit signs typically come with universal mounting canopies for ceiling, pendant, or soffit installations, accommodating various ceiling types and heights.
