FAQs About Low Profile Exit Sign Combos
What is a low profile combo unit?
It's a dual-purpose emergency fixture that combines an illuminated EXIT sign and integrated emergency lighting heads into a single, compact housing. “Low profile” refers to the unit’s shallow depth, designed to reduce wall or ceiling projection while still meeting code requirements.
Are these units UL 924 listed?
Yes. All low profile exit sign and emergency light combos are UL 924 listed and comply with NFPA 101 and IBC life safety codes for emergency egress systems.
Where are these used?
These units are commonly installed in offices, retail environments, classrooms, hotels, and healthcare facilities—anywhere that values clean design without sacrificing safety or compliance.
How long do the batteries last during an outage?
Each unit includes an internal battery—typically Ni-Cd or lithium-ion—that provides a minimum of 90 minutes of emergency illumination during power loss, as required by code.
Can I mount these on a ceiling or wall?
Yes. Most models include universal mounting hardware and canopy kits for ceiling, wall, or end mounting, making them adaptable to a wide range of installation scenarios.
Are self-testing models available?
Many low profile combo units offer self-testing diagnostics that automatically perform monthly and annual tests on the battery and lamps, helping to maintain code compliance with less manual effort.
