Exit Emergency Light Combos

Exit emergency light combos are all-in-one fixtures that pair an illuminated EXIT legend with integrated emergency exit lights—ideal at doors and intersections where you need an exit sign with lights in one location. Most models are LED emergency exit lights with 90-minute battery backup for UL 924 egress. If you’re comparing separate parts vs combos, see standalone exit signs (no light heads) and standalone emergency lights (separate fixtures); for automated maintenance, explore self-testing exit sign & light combos.

UL 924 LED Battery Backup Single / Double Face Ceiling / Wall / End Self-Testing
Buyers Guide Tips — What to look for
  • Power & runtime: Standard is 90 minutes for emergency exit lights with battery backup; step up only when the spec calls for 120/180 minutes.
  • Mounting: Choose ceiling, wall, or end (flag) mount to maximize sightlines over doors and at corridor turns.
  • Light coverage: Pick head output/beam that maintains foot-candles along the path; aim heads to overlap for uniformity.
  • Environment: Use wet/cold-rated housings outdoors, parking decks, or freezers; match IP/NEMA where required.
  • Maintenance: Self-testing electronics automate the monthly (~30s) and annual (90-min) checks.

These units simplify plan review and install—one circuit, one backbox, and a single device that covers both the legend and lighting. Typical configurations include single or double-face legends, red or green letters, and field-selectable chevrons.

What is an exit light combo? It’s an exit light with emergency lights: an illuminated EXIT sign plus built-in lamp heads that turn on during an outage—sometimes called an exit light combo, exit emergency combo, or exit emergency light combo.

Quick pick: Over a single-approach door, use wall/back-mount, single-face, red letters; at T/4-way intersections, choose end (flag) or ceiling mount with a double-face legend. Size/aim LED heads to reach the door threshold and overlap light along the path. For exterior, washdown, or cold areas, specify wet-location/IP/NEMA ratings and cold-temp kits (see wet-location exit sign combos). Combos are UL 924 devices with ≈90 minutes of backup—verify spacing/aim after dark so foot-candles hold to the end; add combos or separate emergency lights if long runs need more reach.

Exit Emergency Light Combos - 90-min battery, universal mount - Features & Specs

  • Standards: UL 924 listed; EXIT legend remains visible on normal and emergency power. Combos provide lamp illumination for code egress.
  • Legend & visibility: 6" letters (typ. 3/4" stroke); red or green; field-selectable chevrons; single or double-face configurations.
  • Battery backup: Integrated battery delivers ≈90 minutes (standard) of exit lights with battery backup; extended runtimes per spec when required.
  • Lamp heads: LED heads with locking aim; choose lumen/beam packages to maintain foot-candles along the path and at the door threshold.
  • Mounting: Universal ceiling, wall, or end (flag) mounting to optimize sightlines at doors and corridor turns.
  • Electrical: Dual-voltage 120/277 VAC input; push-to-test; status LED; options include self-testing diagnostics and special voltages (per model).
  • Environment: Indoor/damp standard; specify wet/cold-rated or IP/NEMA models for garages, canopies, or freezers.
  • Construction: Thermoplastic for value or metal housings for tougher sites; finishes to match interiors; tamper-resistant options available.

FAQs About Exit Emergency Light Combos

When should I choose a combo instead of separate exit sign and lights?

Use a combo at doors and corridor turns where you need an exit sign with lights in one spot—one circuit, one backbox. Choose separate fixtures when photometrics call for more spread-out coverage or when remote heads are required down the path.

How do I size and aim the lamp heads on a combo?

Select LED head output/beam to maintain required foot-candles along the route. Aim one head toward the travel direction and the other to the door threshold/landing, overlapping beams for uniformity. If coverage is short, step up lumen package or use a model with higher-output heads.

Which mount works best over doors and at intersections?

Wall/back mount centered over a door for clean sightlines. At T or 4-way intersections, use end (flag) or ceiling mount so the legend and heads are visible from multiple approaches.

Single-face or double-face—how do I decide on a combo?

Single-face for one-way approaches (typical doorways). Double-face at intersections or open areas so people can read the EXIT legend from both sides.

Will a combo meet the 90-minute requirement by itself?

Yes—most are LED emergency exit lights with built-in batteries for about 90 minutes (UL 924). Confirm the head output and spacing still maintain egress illumination at the end of the 90-minute test; specify 120/180-minute models only when required.

Can I use exit emergency light combos outdoors or in cold areas?

Yes—choose wet-location and cold-temperature rated combos (IP/NEMA where needed). Cold-weather versions use heaters or battery chemistries designed for low ambient temperatures.

Are combos remote-capable? How do I check capacity?

Some combos can power remote heads. Check the spec for remote watts at 90 minutes and keep total load (onboard heads + remotes) within that budget. If you exceed it, runtime will drop below code.

How far apart can I space combos along a corridor?

There’s no one distance—spacing depends on lumen output, beam, and mounting height. A good starting point is overlapping beams with no “dark gaps,” then verify after dark; add separate emergency exit lights where long runs need more coverage.
