Compact Wet-Location LED Exit Sign - Red/Green, Sealed Polycarbonate, UL 924
The WLEZXTEU Compact Wet-Location LED Exit Sign is a sealed polycarbonate EXIT sign for outdoor, washdown, canopy, parking, industrial, and service-area egress routes where a standard indoor thermoplastic sign is not enough. Use it when the project calls for a wet-location exit sign with red or green LED letters, single- or double-face visibility, and white, black, or grey housing options in one compact product family.
The fixture supports 120/277 VAC input, a 4.8 V Ni-Cd emergency battery on backup models, 90-minute emergency runtime, and wet-location operation from -20 C to 50 C. Choose SDT self-diagnostics, 2C-120 or 2C-277 dual-circuit wiring, tamper-resistant hardware, cold-weather configurations, or custom legends when the job requires them. For code context, compare Exit Signs or review UL 924 compliance guidance.
Use the WLEZXTEU buying checks below to confirm wet-location exposure, legend color, face count, housing finish, backup runtime, cold-weather needs, dual-circuit wiring, and tamper/custom options before ordering.

Key features
- WLEZXTEU compact wet-location LED exit sign for exposed, outdoor, washdown, canopy, parking, industrial, and service-area egress routes.
- Sealed 5VA flame-retardant polycarbonate enclosure with silicone gasket and clear lens helps protect the EXIT legend from moisture, dust, and impact.
- Red or green LED EXIT legends are available with single-face and double-face configurations for one-way or two-way visibility.
- White, black, and grey housing choices coordinate with exterior trim, parking structures, industrial corridors, and service entrances.
- Universal 120/277 VAC input includes status LED and push-to-test controls for routine maintenance checks.
- 4.8 V Ni-Cd battery provides 90-minute emergency runtime on backup configurations with about 24-hour recharge.
- Cold-weather configuration supports operation down to -20 C for unheated vestibules, garages, canopies, and exterior egress paths.
- SDT self-diagnostic models automate monthly, semi-annual, and annual test routines for managed facilities.
- 2C-120 and 2C-277 dual-circuit variants support generator or emergency-power designs that separate normal and emergency feeds.
- Wall, ceiling/top, and end mounting use a snap-fit canopy, conduit entries, backplate knockouts, and field-applied chevrons.
- Tamper-resistant hardware and custom legend or graphic options are available for public-facing and non-standard wording requirements.
- UL 924 wet-location listing supports NFPA 101, NEC, OSHA, and CEC Title 20 egress requirements when installed as directed.

Wet and Cold-Weather Fit
Choose WLEZXTEU for wet-location egress points where moisture, splash, wind-driven rain, or corrosive utility conditions make an indoor exit sign a poor fit. Cold-weather variants support unheated areas down to -20 C.
- Good fits include exterior doors, covered walkways, parking structures, washdown rooms, industrial corridors, and service entrances.
- Use the wet-location listing and gasketed clear lens where the sign may be exposed to moisture or frequent cleaning.
- Confirm final temperature range and exposure with the building plans before substituting from a NEMA or hazardous-location specification.
Legend, Face, and Housing Choices
The family supports red or green EXIT lettering, single-face or double-face visibility, and three housing finishes without changing the core wet-location platform.
- Use red or green letters to match existing signage standards and the approved plan.
- Use single-face models above wall-backed doors and double-face models for corridors or open approaches.
- White, black, and grey housings let the fixture coordinate with exterior trim, industrial finishes, and service-area walls.
Power Feeds and Backup Runtime
Standard wiring supports 120/277 VAC. EM configurations add a 4.8 V Ni-Cd battery for 90-minute emergency operation, while 2C-120 and 2C-277 variants support separated normal and emergency feeds.
- Select EM when the sign needs integral battery backup instead of relying only on building emergency power.
- Use 2C-120 or 2C-277 when drawings call for dual-circuit operation from a generator or emergency panel.
- Status LED and push-to-test controls help maintenance teams confirm charging and transfer operation.
Canopy, Conduit, and Seal Fit
Review the physical install before ordering because wet-location performance depends on both the listed enclosure and the finished wiring entry.
- The sign supports wall, ceiling/top, and end mounting with snap-fit canopy hardware.
- Backplate knockouts, conduit entries, and field-applied chevrons help align the sign with the approved path of travel.
- Seal conduit entries and mounting surfaces according to the installation instructions and site exposure.
Tamper and Custom-Legend Builds
Public-facing corridors, schools, transit-adjacent spaces, and specialized facilities may need more than a standard EXIT legend.
- TP configurations add tamper-resistant hardware for areas with public access or higher abuse risk.
- CUSTOM configurations support quoted custom wording or graphics where a standard EXIT face is not enough.
- Keep custom legends coordinated with code requirements and local code approval before ordering.
product family Map
WLEZXTEU options combine face count, letter color, housing color, wiring, diagnostics, cold-weather, tamper, and custom-legend choices.
- Core examples include WLEZXTEU1RW for single-face red letters in white housing and WLEZXTEU2GG for double-face green letters in grey housing.
- Dual-circuit examples add 2C-120 or 2C-277, such as WLEZXTEU1RW2C-120.
- Emergency cold-weather examples use EM-CW, and complex builds can add SDT, TP, and CUSTOM suffixes.
Dimensions and Clearance
The compact enclosure helps on tight exterior doors and utility routes, but the final field location still needs clear sightlines and service access.
- Body size is 12.5 in W x 8.5 in H x 2.5 in D.
- Confirm door swing, conduit approach, canopy orientation, and EXIT legend visibility before rough-in.
- Use double-face placement where occupants approach from both directions.
Warranty and Service Life
The fixture is designed for code-required egress signage in demanding wet-location areas while keeping maintenance familiar for facility teams.
- Electronics and housing carry 5-year warranty coverage.
- The Ni-Cd battery is covered on a prorated 5-year schedule.
- SDT self-diagnostic models can reduce manual testing friction on larger sites.
Compliance notes
- Confirm final placement, letter color, face count, arrow direction, wet-location exposure, voltage, runtime, and local code approval before ordering.
- Seal conduit entries and mounting surfaces according to the manufacturer instructions so the wet-location enclosure performs as intended.
- Use hazardous-location, NEMA 4X, or special-jurisdiction exit signage when the building plans call for those constructions instead of a compact wet-location sign.
Frequently asked questions
Is the WLEZXTEU compact LED exit sign wet-location rated?
Yes. WLEZXTEU is UL 924 wet-location listed and uses a sealed polycarbonate enclosure with a gasketed clear lens for outdoor, washdown, canopy, parking, and utility-area egress routes.
Can I order this wet-location exit sign with red or green letters?
Yes. The product family includes red and green LED EXIT legends with single-face and double-face configurations. Match letter color and face count to the approved building plans and local code requirements.
Does every WLEZXTEU variant include battery backup?
No. The family includes different wiring and backup configurations. Select an EM or EM-CW build when the sign needs the 4.8 V Ni-Cd battery and 90 minutes of emergency operation.
Which housing colors are available for the compact wet-location sign?
White, black, and grey housings are available so the fixture can coordinate with exterior trim, service spaces, industrial areas, and parking structures.
When should I choose the cold-weather configuration?
Choose a cold-weather build for unheated vestibules, exterior canopies, garages, and similar locations where the sign may need to operate down to -20 C.
What do SDT, 2C-120, 2C-277, TP, and CUSTOM mean on WLEZXTEU options?
SDT indicates self-diagnostic testing, 2C-120 and 2C-277 indicate dual-circuit wiring, TP indicates tamper-resistant hardware, and CUSTOM indicates quoted custom wording or graphics.
Can this sealed exit sign be wall, ceiling, or end mounted?
Yes. WLEZXTEU supports wall, ceiling/top, and end mounting with snap-fit canopy hardware, backplate knockouts, conduit entries, and field-applied chevrons.
Is this the right product for hazardous-location projects?
No. WLEZXTEU is a compact wet-location exit sign, not a hazardous-location fixture. Use a hazardous-location exit sign when the specification calls for classified-location construction.
