Self-Testing Exit Sign and Light Combo
Self-testing exit sign and emergency light combos combine two essential life safety features in one unit: illuminated egress signage and battery-backed emergency lighting. These devices are equipped with built-in diagnostic systems that automatically verify performance, eliminating the need for manual testing and recordkeeping. Each model is UL 924 listed and designed to meet NFPA 101 and OSHA requirements for emergency egress lighting.
During normal operation, the unit functions as a standard LED exit sign. In the event of a power failure, the internal battery powers both the sign and the adjustable emergency lamp heads for at least 90 minutes, providing code-compliant illumination for safe evacuation. Integrated LED technology ensures long lamp life, low energy usage, and consistent visibility in all conditions.
The self-testing system performs automated 30-second monthly tests and a full 90-minute test annually, per life safety code. An indicator LED on the housing communicates the status of each test, alerting maintenance personnel only when action is required. This simplifies inspection routines, reduces labor costs, and improves overall system reliability.
Most models support universal mounting for wall, ceiling, or end installations and include field-selectable chevrons to guide egress direction. Optional features like wet-location ratings, remote head capability, and vandal-resistant housings make these units suitable for a wide range of commercial and institutional environments.
Self-testing exit sign combos are ideal for offices, schools, healthcare facilities, stairwells, and building corridors where regular inspection and compliance documentation are required. By automating testing, these units ensure consistent performance and help facility managers meet safety codes more efficiently.
