Red Letter Exit Sign Combos – Classic & Reliable Egress Lighting Solutions
Red letter exit sign combos offer a proven solution for combining emergency exit signage and lighting into a single, code-compliant unit. Featuring the universally recognized red EXIT legend, these UL 924 listed fixtures are designed for jurisdictions where red is either preferred or required—such as New York City and Chicago. Their familiar appearance makes them especially effective in older buildings, industrial environments, and spaces with traditional safety signage requirements.
Each model integrates bright red LED lettering with dual-voltage (120/277 VAC) input and adjustable emergency light heads—typically LED or MR16—for dependable egress path illumination. Sealed Ni‑Cd or lithium-ion battery packs provide 90 minutes of backup lighting during outages. Many models include field-selectable chevrons and are rated for wet or damp locations, making them ideal for stairwells, vestibules, and sheltered outdoor areas.
Commonly used in schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, retail spaces, and fire-regulated zones, these exit sign combos are available in both edge-lit and low-profile configurations. Most units support universal mounting and offer self-testing diagnostics to simplify monthly and annual safety inspections.
