Recessed Edge-Lit Aluminum Exit Sign - RELZXTE, Red/Green, UL 924
The RELZXTE Recessed Edge-Lit Aluminum Exit Sign gives commercial interiors an architectural, low-profile EXIT sign with a clear, mirror, or white acrylic panel and red or green LED legend options. Use this product family when a project needs a recessed exit sign for drywall or T-bar ceilings, or a recessed wall-mount trim option, without leaving the clean edge-lit look.
The RELZXTE platform supports single-face and double-face layouts, white, black, or aluminum trim plates, 120/277 V input, EM battery backup, SDT self diagnostics, 2C-120 or 2C-277 dual-circuit builds, SPV 208/220/240 V input, and WM recessed wall-mount variants. For broader comparisons, review Edge-Lit Exit Signs or the edge-lit mounting and wiring guide.

Documents
Ceiling and Wall Recess Fit
Choose RELZXTE when the design calls for a recessed edge-lit exit sign instead of a surface-mounted thermoplastic or die-cast box. The chassis fits drywall and T-bar ceilings, while WM variants support recessed wall-mount applications.
- Use ceiling-recessed models for finished corridors, lobbies, tenant interiors, hospitality spaces, and commercial ceilings.
- Use WM variants when the exit sign needs a recessed wall presentation.
- Confirm ceiling depth, grid layout, wall cavity, conduit approach, and below-ceiling service access before ordering.
Legend, Panel, and Face Selection
The first option group combines face count, legend color, and panel style, so it should be matched carefully to the approved egress plan and interior finish schedule.
- Select red or green legend color to match building plans, existing signage standards, and local code requirements.
- Use clear panels for the lightest floating-panel look, mirror panels for reflective architectural finishes, and white panels where contrast or design standards require it.
- Choose single-face visibility for wall-backed approaches and double-face visibility where occupants approach from both directions.
Trim Plate Finish Choices
White, black, and aluminum trim plate options let the recessed assembly coordinate with common ceiling, wall, and metal finish packages.
- White trim is common for gypsum ceilings and light ceiling grids.
- Black trim can coordinate with darker ceiling systems and specialty interiors.
- Aluminum trim supports metal finish packages and neutral architectural details.
Power, Backup, and Diagnostics
Standard RELZXTE models support 120/277 V input. EM models add integral emergency backup, and SDT models add automated self-testing for maintenance programs.
- Select EM when the sign needs a 4.8 V Ni-Cd battery and 90-minute emergency runtime.
- Select SDT when the facility wants self-testing support for routine inspection workflows.
- Confirm the project needs battery backup before selecting AC-only dual-circuit configurations.
Advanced Ordering Builds
Use the packed ordering option to identify special project needs such as dual-circuit input, special voltage, or recessed wall trim.
- 2C-120 and 2C-277 support dual-circuit AC-only applications.
- SPV supports 208/220/240 V input for special-voltage projects.
- WM indicates the recessed wall-mount trim configuration.
product family Map
RELZXTE options encode face count, letter color, panel style, trim plate, battery backup, diagnostics, circuit type, special voltage, and wall-mount trim.

Dimensions and Service Access
The recessed body keeps the finished appearance clean, but the rough-in still needs space for the chassis, trim, wiring, and future maintenance.
- Coordinate dimensions and rough opening with the linked RELZXTE spec sheet.
- Confirm bar hanger span, T-bar or drywall condition, conduit entry, and final trim orientation.
- Keep the detachable trim accessible for below-ceiling service after installation.

- Housing and electronics carry 5-year warranty coverage.
- Battery coverage is prorated for 5 years.
- SDT self-testing can reduce manual inspection friction on larger facilities.
Compliance notes
- Confirm final fixture placement, legend color, panel style, face count, arrow direction, recessed opening, runtime, voltage, and local code approval before ordering.

- Confirm UL 924, damp-location, NFPA 101, NEC, OSHA, and CEC Title 20 requirements against the final plans and authority review.
