Non Electrical Exit Signs Buying Guide

Choose the no-power technology first, then verify visibility, mounting, environment, and project acceptance before selecting a model.

01

Tritium or photoluminescent

Choose tritium when charging light is not dependable. Choose photoluminescent when the sign face can receive the required ambient light.

02

Viewing distance

Match the sign's viewing-distance rating, legend color, face count, arrow direction, and sightlines to the actual egress path.

03

Mounting

Confirm wall, ceiling, end, surface, or specialty mounting and verify the housing fits the substrate and doorway condition.

04

Environment

Use a product listed for wet, damp, exterior, washdown, cold, or other specialty conditions when the project exposure requires it.

05

Project review

Confirm product listing, charging or service-life documentation, installation, project documents, and local AHJ acceptance.

Quick answers

FAQs About Non Electrical Exit Signs

Expand the questions that match your application, fixture-selection, or compliance review.

What are non-electrical exit signs?

They are exit signs that do not rely on building wiring during normal operation. The main paths are tritium self-luminous signs and photoluminescent signs that charge from ambient light.

What is the difference between tritium and photoluminescent signs?

Tritium signs provide self-luminous operation without charging light, while photoluminescent signs store ambient light and require dependable charging conditions.

Do non-electrical signs work during a power outage?

They can, when the selected technology is suitable for the project and properly installed. Confirm visibility, listing, service-life or charging requirements, and local acceptance.

When should I use a standard LED exit sign?

Use a standard LED battery-backup sign when the project calls for wired operation, automatic charging, standard testing, or a conventional commercial exit-sign path.
