Exit Sign & Emergency Light Combos

Exit sign & emergency light combos are all-in-one fixtures that pair an illuminated EXIT legend with integrated lamp heads—simplifying installation and reducing fixture count. These UL 924–listed combo exit signs are ideal for doorways, stairwells, and corridors. Explore self-testing exit sign combos, remote-capable combo units, and wet-location combo fixtures.

What to Look for in Exit Sign & Emergency Light Combos

  • Lamp heads & coverage: Aimable LED heads; size lumen output/beam pattern to hit target foot-candles along the path of egress—combos at door height may need supplemental lights down long corridors.
  • Shared electronics (sign + heads): Universal 120/277 VAC with solid-state charger, status LED, and test switch. One controller supervises both the EXIT board and lamp loads.
  • Battery sized for dual loads: Maintenance-free Ni-Cd or lithium packs rated to power the EXIT legend and heads for 90 minutes; confirm recharge time and ambient range (add heaters for cold entrances).
  • Remote-head supervision: If remote-capable, verify output wattage/voltage and ensure the same diagnostics test and report issues on remote heads—not just the on-board ones.
  • Single-point service & inspections: One battery, one test button, one status LED for both functions—streamlines maintenance compared to separate sign + lights; keep a simple pass/fail log.

Each exit emergency light combo (an exit sign with emergency lights) pairs a bright LED EXIT legend with directional arrows and two adjustable heads. A shared internal battery delivers at least 90 minutes of backup illumination during a power failure—keeping occupants moving safely during blackouts.

These all-in-one fixtures shrink fixture count and speed installation. Most models include a multi-position mounting kit for wall, ceiling, or end/flag configurations; verify junction-box pattern, door hardware clearances, and head aiming after install.

💡 Why choose a combo unit? An all-in-one exit light combo delivers dual code compliance (signage + egress lighting) in one compact, energy-efficient fixture—saving time, space, and labor on every installation.

Exit Sign & Emergency Light Combos - Spec Guide

  • Standards & testing cadence: UL 924 combo units must meet 90-minute emergency operation and align with NFPA 101 (verify with your AHJ).
  • Lamp heads & coverage: Aimable LED heads; size lumen output/beam pattern to hit target foot-candles along the path of egress. Door-height combo units may need supplemental lights for long corridors.
  • Combo exit sign legend & faces: Specify single- or double-face combo units and choose red/green combo exit sign legends for the best sightlines at doorways; set directional arrows during install.
  • Shared electronics & supervision: Universal 120/277 VAC, solid-state charger, status LED, and push-to-test. One controller supervises both the EXIT board and lamp loads (and any remotes).
  • Battery sized for dual loads: Sealed Ni-Cd or lithium packs rated to power the legend and heads for 90 minutes; check recharge time and ambient range (add heaters for cold entrances).
  • Remote expansion (if needed): Choose remote-capable combo units when you need extra coverage; confirm remote wattage/voltage and that diagnostics supervise the remote heads.
  • Auto-diagnostics: For automated monthly/annual checks, see auto-diagnostic combo models; retain pass/fail history for inspections.
  • Environment & sealing: Use damp-rated combo units for moisture-prone interiors and weather-sealed wet-location combo fixtures for exterior entrances or wash-down areas.
  • Construction & durability: Specify rugged materials such as steel combo units or die-cast aluminum combo housings with tamper-resistant hardware for public areas.
  • Output class: For larger rooms or tall ceilings, consider high-lumen combo models to meet photometric targets with fewer fixtures.

FAQs About Exit Sign and Emergency Light Combo Units

Will one combo unit light my whole corridor?

A combo unit is typically mounted above a doorway and is intended to provide local egress illumination at that opening. For long corridors or large rooms, plan additional combos or remote heads to meet your photometric targets.

Do self-testing combos exercise both the EXIT legend and the lamp heads?

Yes—on self-testing models the same controller runs monthly function tests and the annual 90-minute discharge on the combo exit sign legend and the lamp heads. The status indicator reports faults for either function; remote heads are included if the unit is remote-capable.

If a lamp head fails, does the combo exit sign still operate?

The combo unit supervises each head and the legend as separate loads. A lamp fault is flagged by the indicator and, on most designs, the EXIT legend continues to illuminate while you service the lamp. Always confirm behavior in the model’s manual.

When should I choose a remote-capable combo?

Use a remote-capable combo unit when a door-mounted fixture can’t cover adjacent paths (long corridors, large lobbies, high ceilings). The combo powers extra remote heads and, on supervised models, diagnostics also test the remotes in the same cycle.
