Thermoplastic Edge-Lit LED Exit Sign Overview
The PLELRXTEU thermoplastic edge-lit LED exit sign pairs a clean acrylic panel with a low-profile thermoplastic housing for commercial projects that need an architectural-looking EXIT legend without stepping into a metal or recessed fixture. Use it in offices, retail suites, hospitality corridors, schools, healthcare support spaces, tenant improvements, and other indoor or damp-location egress routes where a standard stencil-face exit sign would look too utilitarian.
Universal mounting hardware supports top, end, or back mounting, while the option set covers red or green LED legends, single-face and double-face visibility, clear, mirror, white, black, and silver panel/housing combinations, optional 4.8 V Ni-Cd 90-minute battery backup, self diagnostics, dual-circuit configurations, and 208/220/240 V special-voltage service.

Best Fit
Use PLELRXTEU when the project calls for an edge-lit exit sign with a clean acrylic panel, red or green legend options, and lightweight thermoplastic construction. It is a strong fit for commercial interiors where appearance matters but a die-cast aluminum architectural sign is not required.
- Best for offices, retail, schools, hospitality corridors, tenant improvements, and general commercial interiors.
- Use double-face models where occupants approach the sign from two directions.
- Use battery-backup EM variants when the sign must remain illuminated during loss of normal power.
- Use wet-location or NEMA-rated exit signs instead for exposed exterior or washdown areas.
Legend Color and Face Count
Choose the red or green legend required by building plans, existing building signage, and the local code official. Select single-face for wall-facing or one-direction viewing, and double-face for corridor intersections or ceiling/end-mount locations viewed from both directions.
- Red and green legend variants are available.
- Single-face and double-face variants are built into the option set.
- Directional chevrons should be applied only where the final path of travel requires an arrow.
Battery, Diagnostics, and Voltage
Standard 120/277 V models cover common commercial branch circuits. Battery-backup variants add a 4.8 V Ni-Cd pack for 90-minute emergency operation. Self-diagnostics and special-voltage variants are available when the project requires automatic testing or 208/220/240 V service.
- Battery backup provides 90-minute emergency runtime after a full charge.
- Typical recharge is approximately 24 hours.
- Dual-circuit variants support 120 V or 277 V emergency/normal circuit separation by option.
- Special-voltage variants support 208/220/240 V where specified.
Mounting and Finish Selection
The universal canopy supports top, end, or back mounting, which lets the same product family cover wall, ceiling, and end-mount applications. Panel and housing combinations include clear, mirror, white, black, and silver selections depending on the variant.
- Back mount for surface wall applications.
- Top or end mount for ceiling and corridor visibility.
- Match panel and housing finish to interior design requirements and visibility needs.

Spec Sheet
Download the PLELRXTEU edge-lit exit sign spec sheet before ordering to confirm the selected option, panel/housing combination, voltage, battery, diagnostics, and dimensional requirements.
Selection Checks
Before ordering, confirm face count, legend color, panel/housing finish, battery requirement, self-diagnostics requirement, input voltage, arrow direction, mounting location, and local code approval.
- Confirm red or green legend color against building plans.
- Confirm single-face versus double-face visibility from the path of travel.
- Confirm damp-location rating is sufficient for the installed environment.
- Confirm the option you choose includes battery backup if emergency operation is required.
Compliance notes
- Confirm final fixture placement, face count, arrow direction, runtime, and local code approval for the project.
- Use a wet-location or NEMA-rated exit sign for exposed exterior, rain, spray, or washdown applications.
- Select an EM battery-backup option where 90-minute emergency operation is required.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a thermoplastic edge-lit LED exit sign?
Yes. PLELRXTEU is a thermoplastic edge-lit LED exit sign with an acrylic panel and a slim housing for commercial egress applications.
Can I choose red or green EXIT letters?

Is this edge-lit exit sign available in single-face and double-face versions?
Yes. The option set includes single-face and double-face configurations. Use double-face models where the sign must be visible from both directions.
Does this model include emergency battery backup?
Battery-backup variants include a 4.8 V Ni-Cd battery for 90 minutes of emergency operation. AC-only variants are also available, so confirm the option you choose before ordering.
Can this exit sign be top, end, or back mounted?
Yes. The universal canopy supports top, end, or back mounting for ceiling, end-mount, and wall applications.
Is the PLELRXTEU rated for damp locations?
Yes. The series is UL 924 listed for damp locations from 0-50 deg C. Use a wet-location exit sign for exposed exterior, rain, spray, or washdown conditions.
What voltage options are available?
Standard models support 120/277 V input. Selected variants add 208/220/240 V special-voltage support or dual-circuit 120 V / 277 V configurations.
When should I choose thermoplastic edge-lit instead of die-cast edge-lit?
Choose thermoplastic edge-lit for a clean architectural look at a lighter-duty price point. Choose die-cast aluminum when the project requires a metal housing, premium finish, or more specification-grade construction.
