High Lumen Exit Signs – Super‑Bright LED Egress Fixtures for Maximum Visibility

High lumen exit signs are engineered to meet modern safety standards by delivering ultra-bright LED illumination (600–1100 lm), ensuring legend luminance well above minimum thresholds—even in smoke-filled conditions. With energy-efficient LED driver circuits producing ≥20 lm/W, these signs meet UL 924 and NFPA 101 while reducing long-term power use.

Perfect for expansive spaces—like long hallways, stairwells, large lobbies, and high ceilings—these signs provide crisp, high-contrast EXIT legends visible from 100 ft and maintain ≥15 cd/m² luminance, enhancing egress safety under all conditions.

Equipped with durable housings, universal mounting options, 90-minute backup via lithium-ion or Ni-Cd batteries, and optional self-testing diagnostics, high lumen exit signs deliver performance, compliance, and reliability in demanding environments.

What is a high lumen exit sign? It’s an ultra-bright LED egress sign that outputs 600+ lumens—ideal for large or high-visibility areas where enhanced legend brightness is required to maintain code compliance and occupant safety.

FAQs About High Lumen Exit Signs

❓ What defines a “high lumen” exit sign?

High lumen exit signs produce 600–1100 lumens via efficient LEDs, ensuring the EXIT legend remains bright and visible, even in large or smoke-filled spaces.

❓ Why is high luminance important?

Standards require ≥15 cd/m² luminance to ensure signs are legible up to 100 ft and still visible in smoky conditions (~20 ft), ensuring safe egress :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}.

❓ Where should high lumen exit signs be used?

Ideal for long corridors, stairwells, atriums, and ceilings over 10 ft—anywhere standard signs might be hard to see or degrade in visibility.

❓ Do high lumen signs use more electricity?

Actually, no. High-efficiency LEDs (20+ lm/W) provide more brightness while using equal or less power than older models.

❓ What kind of battery backup do they include?

All are equipped with lithium-ion or Ni‑Cd batteries rated for at least 90 minutes of runtime and minimal recharge time.

❓ Are self-testing models available?

Yes—many units offer built-in monthly/annual diagnostics, greatly reducing manual inspection and maintenance efforts.
