Applications & Design Notes
Choose this steel exit & emergency combo at doorways where equipment takes abuse (loading docks, public corridors, school stair runs). Set chevrons to match your approved egress route and aim the lamp heads to wash the landing and first corridor segment. If you need extended runs or remote heads over ramps and alcoves, specify the RC (10 W) configuration and keep total load & voltage drop within the 6 V budget. For broader selection by material and output, see our heavy-duty steel combo signs (distinct anchor).
