FAQs About Exit Signs
How long must emergency exit signs stay on during a power outage?
Exit signs must remain illuminated for a minimum of 90 minutes during a power failure, as required by UL 924, NFPA 101, and OSHA codes.
What’s the difference between red and green exit signs?
Both are compliant in most jurisdictions. Red is traditional, while green is increasingly preferred in newer buildings or where local codes emphasize environmental visibility standards.
Are exit signs required to have battery backup?
Yes. Most emergency exit signs are required by law to include internal battery backup for operation during power loss.
Can I install exit signs outdoors?
Only if they are rated for it. Choose wet location exit signs for direct weather exposure or damp location signs for humid but sheltered areas.
What is a self-testing exit sign?
A self-testing model automatically performs UL-required diagnostics, eliminating the need for manual testing and simplifying inspection protocols.
Do exit signs need arrows or directional indicators?
Yes—when the path to the exit isn’t obvious. Most signs include field-selectable chevrons that can be punched out during installation to point left, right, or both.
