Low Profile Steel LED Exit Sign Overview
The 700U low-profile steel LED exit sign is built for commercial interiors that need a sturdier metal housing than a standard thermoplastic exit sign without moving to a bulky industrial fixture. A 20-gauge steel enclosure, red or green 6 in EXIT legend, and single-face or double-face setup make it a strong fit for offices, schools, healthcare support areas, retail spaces, institutional corridors, and other indoor egress paths.
Universal 120/277 V electronics and included canopy hardware support wall, ceiling, or end mounting from the same product family. Choose AC-only or Ni-Cd battery-backup configurations, white or black powder-coated housing, and optional G2 self diagnostics where automated inspection support is preferred.

Key features
- Low-profile steel LED exit sign built around a rugged 20-gauge steel housing for commercial interiors.
- Red or green LED EXIT legend options use 6 in letters with a 3/4 in stroke for code-recognizable visibility.
- UL 924 listed for emergency egress signage and damp-location rated for 0-50 deg C applications.
- Dual-voltage 120/277 V input supports common commercial branch circuits.
- AC-only and Ni-Cd battery-backup configurations are available; battery models provide 90-minute emergency operation with about 24-hour recharge.
- Optional G2 self diagnostics supports automated monthly, semi-annual, and annual test routines.
- Universal canopy and backplate support wall, ceiling, or end mounting, with field-removable chevrons for directional arrows.
- Single-face and double-face setup is supported with two faceplates and a backplate included.
- White or black powder-coated housing options help match surrounding ceiling, wall, or door hardware.
- Low-profile 12.5 in W x 8.75 in H x 2 in D housing fits corridors and door approaches where projection depth matters.
- Optional protective wire guards and polycarbonate shields can be used where impact protection is needed.
- Designed for NFPA 101, NEC, OSHA, and CEC Title 20 project context when properly specified and installed.

Best Applications
Choose this low-profile steel LED exit sign for commercial interiors where durability matters more than the lowest-cost thermoplastic housing, but the project still needs a compact, surface-mounted EXIT sign. It is a strong fit for offices, schools, healthcare support areas, retail suites, institutional corridors, and other code-required egress paths.
Legend and Face Selection
- Match red or green EXIT letters to building plans, existing building signage, and local code preference.
- Use single-face setup where the legend only needs to be read from one direction, such as above a door.
- Use double-face setup for corridor intersections, ceiling locations, or end-mount positions where occupants approach from two directions.
- Remove chevrons in the field only where directional arrows are required by the final path of travel.
Power and Runtime Checks
- Standard 120/277 V input supports common commercial branch circuits.
- Choose AC-only variants where backup power is supplied by another compliant system or where the building plans call for AC-only signage.
- Choose Ni-Cd battery-backup variants where the sign must provide 90-minute emergency operation after loss of normal power.
- Allow battery models to complete the recharge period before performing a full discharge test after installation.
Mounting Orientation Checks
- Wall mount above doors or along one-direction paths where surface mounting is appropriate.
- Ceiling mount where the egress path requires the EXIT legend to be visible from below or from a corridor approach.
- End mount beside a wall or junction box when the sign must project perpendicular to the wall surface.
- Confirm final mounting height, viewing distance, obstruction clearance, arrow direction, and local code approval before closeout.
Housing and Protection Selection
White and black powder-coated steel housings are available to match the surrounding ceiling, wall, or door hardware. Add a compatible wire guard or polycarbonate shield where the installation is exposed to carts, equipment, school traffic, or other impact risk.
Diagnostics and Maintenance
Select G2 self diagnostics when the owner wants automated monthly, semi-annual, and annual test support. Standard battery models still support routine manual inspection with push-to-test and status indication.
Compare Similar Exit Sign Paths
- Choose steel exit signs when metal construction is the priority.
- Choose battery-backup exit signs when each sign needs its own 90-minute emergency runtime.
- Choose self-testing exit signs when maintenance teams want automated inspection support.
- Choose wet-location exit signs for exposed exterior, rain, spray, or washdown conditions.
Compliance notes
- Confirm final fixture placement, face count, arrow direction, runtime, and local code approval for the project.
- Use a wet-location exit sign for exposed exterior, rain, spray, or washdown conditions.
- Select a Ni-Cd battery-backup option where local 90-minute emergency operation is required.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 700U a UL 924 low-profile steel LED exit sign?
Yes. The 700U is a UL 924 listed low-profile steel LED exit sign for commercial emergency egress signage.
Can this steel exit sign be wall, ceiling, or end mounted?
Yes. The included canopy and backplate support wall, ceiling, or end mounting, so the same series can cover common commercial installation orientations.
Can I choose red or green EXIT letters?
Yes. The 700U family includes red and green LED letter configurations. Match the letter color to the building plans, existing signage, and local code requirements.
Does the 700U support single-face and double-face installation?
Yes. The sign includes two faceplates and a backplate so it can be configured for single-face or double-face visibility during installation.
Which variants include 90-minute battery backup?
Variants with Ni-Cd battery backup provide 90-minute emergency operation. AC-only variants do not include local battery backup, so confirm the selected power-source option before ordering.
When should I choose G2 self diagnostics?
Choose the G2 self diagnostics option when the owner or facility team wants automated routine test support instead of relying only on manual inspection records.
Is this suitable for wet or outdoor locations?
No. The 700U is damp-location rated for indoor applications. Use a wet-location exit sign for exposed exterior, rain, spray, or washdown environments.
