Buyers Guide Tips

What to Look for in Low-Profile Exit Sign & Emergency Light Combos

  • Slim profile & projection: Verify housing depth (often < 2″) and projection to avoid corridor obstructions and meet local protrusion rules.
  • Compliance & runtime: UL 924 listing with a minimum 90-minute operation; align with NFPA 101/IBC per AHJ guidance.
  • Legend & faces: Standard 6 in letters with typical viewing up to 100 ft; select single or double-face as required by approach directions.
  • Directional chevrons: Prefer field-selectable arrows so one SKU fits left/right egress paths and reduces inventory complexity.
  • Lamp heads & photometrics: Low-glare, adjustable heads sized to achieve ≈ ≥1 fc average and ≥0.1 fc minimum along egress paths at 90 minutes.
  • Power & electronics: Universal 120/277 VAC, solid-state charger/automatic transfer, status indicator, and test switch; brownout/surge protection preferred.
  • Battery: Maintenance-free Ni-Cd or lithium packs rated for 90 minutes; confirm recharge time and ambient temperature range.
  • Mounting hardware: Universal canopy/bracket for wall, ceiling, or end-mount; verify junction-box pattern, pendant/drop length, and clearances near doors/signage.
  • Environment & rating: Specify damp/wet-location or IP/NEMA ratings as needed; consider vibration and dust for mixed-use areas.
  • Construction & profile: Edge-lit acrylic for minimal look or slim thermoplastic/metal housings for durability; choose low-projection designs to blend with interiors.
  • Diagnostics & upkeep: Self-testing electronics to automate monthly/annual checks and simplify inspections.

Built for design-sensitive interiors, low-profile combos use edge-lit acrylic or slim thermoplastic/aluminum housings to minimize visual impact while delivering bright, uniform egress lighting. Most models include dual-voltage 120/277 VAC, field-selectable chevrons, and configurable single- or double-face options for wall, ceiling, or end installation.

Internal battery systems—Ni-Cd or lithium-ion, model dependent—automatically power the sign and heads for a minimum of 90 minutes during an outage. For a minimalist aesthetic, browse edge-lit exit sign combos. For tougher environments, specify wet-location exit sign combos or damp-location exit sign combos.

Streamline maintenance with self-testing exit sign combos, which automate monthly and annual diagnostics for code compliance. Need a specific face style? Compare single-face exit sign combos and double face exit sign combos.
