Exit Signs for Emergency & Fire Egress

Exit signs are essential life-safety fixtures that guide building occupants to safety during emergencies. Whether it’s a power outage, fire, or evacuation, emergency exit signs must remain illuminated at all times—even when power fails. Our collection includes fire exit signs for every environment, from indoor corridors to outdoor stairwells.

UL 924 Listed
NFPA 101 Compliant
OSHA Approved

Building owners, contractors, and safety professionals all rely on compliant, reliable emergency exit signs to meet code and keep occupants safe. From simple wall-mounted LED signs to self-luminous and weatherproof options, we offer every type of exit signage to suit your building needs.

💡 What is an emergency exit sign? It’s a code-required fixture that clearly marks egress paths and remains visible during power failures—using batteries or self-powered technology. Browse our non-powered exit signs for zero-maintenance solutions.

Battery Backup & Self-Testing Exit Signs

Battery backup exit signs include built-in batteries that maintain illumination for 90+ minutes during power outages. Many models also feature self-testing diagnostics that run monthly and annual compliance checks automatically—reducing manual inspections and improving code readiness.

Damp, Wet & Hazardous Location Exit Signs

Environmental challenges demand specialized signage. Use damp location signs in high-humidity zones like stairwells and vestibules. For full exposure to rain, snow, or washdowns, wet location exit signs offer sealed, waterproof enclosures. In areas with flammable vapors or dust, hazardous location exit signs feature explosion-proof housings rated for Class I Division 2.

Steel, Aluminum, Recessed & Edge-Lit Designs

Design matters—both for compliance and visual integration. Steel exit signs deliver unmatched strength in vandal-prone settings. For a premium finish, aluminum signs combine style and strength. Want a hidden look? Recessed exit signs conceal housing in ceilings or walls. For modern design, edge-lit signs offer sleek, acrylic panels with internal LED strips.

❓ FAQs About Exit Signs

How long must emergency exit signs stay on during a power outage?

Exit signs must remain illuminated for a minimum of 90 minutes during a power failure, as required by UL 924, NFPA 101, and OSHA codes.

What’s the difference between red and green exit signs?

Both are compliant in most jurisdictions. Red is traditional, while green is increasingly preferred in newer buildings or where local codes emphasize environmental visibility standards.

Are exit signs required to have battery backup?

Yes. Most emergency exit signs are required by law to include internal battery backup for operation during power loss.

Can I install exit signs outdoors?

Only if they are rated for it. Choose wet location exit signs for direct weather exposure or damp location signs for humid but sheltered areas.

What is a self-testing exit sign?

A self-testing model automatically performs UL-required diagnostics, eliminating the need for manual testing and simplifying inspection protocols.

Do exit signs need arrows or directional indicators?

Yes—when the path to the exit isn’t obvious. Most signs include field-selectable chevrons that can be punched out during installation to point left, right, or both.
