New York City–Approved Exit Sign Combos – Heavy-Duty Red Letter Units
New York City–approved exit sign combos are engineered to meet strict FDNY and NYC Electrical Code requirements. These units feature bold 8-inch red letters with a 1-inch stroke width, clearly displayed on rugged steel or die-cast aluminum housings. All models are UL 924 listed and include internal battery backup systems that provide at least 90 minutes of emergency illumination.
Each combo unit integrates high-output emergency lamp heads rated at 9 watts or more, delivering a minimum of 2 foot-candles average and no less than 0.2 foot-candles at any point along the egress path—standards that exceed national code requirements and are unique to New York City.
Available in a range of mounting configurations—including surface, recessed, and pendant—these heavy-duty fixtures are built for long-term performance in high-demand settings. Many models are also offered with wet or damp location ratings, self-testing diagnostics, and remote head capabilities for extended coverage and simplified code compliance.
Perfect for use in high-rise residential buildings, hospitals, theaters, public institutions, and any space where NYC code enforcement applies, these exit sign combos deliver reliability, durability, and safety without compromise.
