Single Face Exit Signs – Directional Egress Signage for Targeted Visibility

Single face exit signs provide illuminated egress guidance from one viewing direction—perfect for wall-mounted applications or when visibility from the rear is unnecessary. These fixtures are UL 924 listed and comply with NFPA 101 and OSHA life safety codes, making them suitable for offices, schools, apartments, stairwells, and corridors across all commercial and public facilities.

Each unit includes a clearly legible EXIT legend (typically red or green) visible up to 100 ft and a battery backup system that delivers at least 90 minutes of emergency illumination during power outages. Thermoplastic and aluminum housings are available to suit different durability needs and aesthetics. Most models include field-selectable directional chevrons, universal mounting kits for wall, ceiling, or end installations, and dual-voltage input (120/277 VAC).

Popular configurations include edge-lit designs, low-profile housings, and self-testing diagnostics to automate monthly and annual code-required inspections. Whether you need a cost-effective basic model or a stylish architectural option, single-sided exit signs offer dependable visibility in space-sensitive installations.
