Green Letter Exit Signs – Safe & Stylish Egress Solutions

Green letter exit signs offer a modern and highly visible alternative to traditional red—available in LED-lit or photoluminescent styles. UL 924 listed LED models feature internal lighting and 90-minute battery backup, while glow-in-the-dark versions charge from ambient light and require zero power or maintenance. Green is also the internationally recognized color for safe egress, aligning with global ISO standards and preferred in many U.S. states.

Ideal for hospitals, airports, schools, retail, and public buildings, these signs support field-selectable directional chevrons and dual-voltage (120/277 VAC). Wet- and damp-location-rated models are also available for outdoor, patio, or tunnel applications.

Green EXIT signs offer enhanced contrast in environments with white or light-colored walls, making them easier to spot from a distance. They're particularly effective in healthcare and educational settings, where green is psychologically associated with safety and calm. Additionally, models are available in die-cast aluminum housings for added durability or in high-lumen output configurations for larger spaces and extended visibility.
