Our extensive range of lighted LED exit signs offers the perfect blend of compliance, functionality, and aesthetics for any application. We proudly feature:

• C-Lite Standard & Compact LED Exit Signs: Delivering classic reliability, our C-Lite models come with red or green letters and are available in versatile black or white housing. These are ideal if you're looking for a small yet effective exit sign.
• Sleek Edge-Lit LED Exit Signs: For a modern look, our C-Lite LED Edge-Lit Exit Signs provide a clear, illuminated panel with "EXIT" lettering that appears to glow. Choose from single or double-face configurations, red or green letters, and options for recessed mounting (C-EE-A-EX-REC-EL Series) or surface mounting (C-EE-A-EX-EL Series).
• Reliable Battery Backup: Many of our LED exit signs include a high-capacity internal battery, providing a minimum of 90 minutes of illumination during power outages. Models with the AC-only option do not include a battery, making them ideal for applications where emergency backup power is not required.

Frequently Asked Questions about Exit Signs

Should I Use a Green or Red Exit Sign?

Exit sign color depends on the municipality. Check with your local fire marshal. He or she will let you know the correct color for your area.

Are exit signs “battery-powered”?

While often called "battery-powered," most compliant exit signs are "battery-backup" signs; they are hardwired to building power for continuous charging and only operate on battery when electricity fails for at least 90 minutes. True self-powered signs (like photoluminescent or tritium) operate without hardwiring but have specific usage and regulatory considerations.

What are the lighting requirements for battery powered Exit Signs?

Exit signs must be illuminated to a surface value of at least five foot-candles. A reliable light source must illuminate them, and the exit signs’ colors must be easy to distinguish.

Where Should battery operated LED Exit Signs Be Situated?

Battery operated exit signs should be placed where the direction to the nearest exit sign isn’t clear, or where a local fire marshal has directed them to be placed.

What Is The Best Way To Test Battery Operated Exit Signs?

Press the “push to test” button on the casing for 30 seconds to test the bulbs and battery of the exit sign.

What are the mounting height requirements for exit signs?

Generally, the bottom of an exit sign should be mounted no more than 80 inches (6'8") above the top edge of the egress opening. Some codes also specify requirements for low-level exit signs, typically between 6 and 18 inches from the floor, for visibility during smoke conditions.

Are exit signs legally required to be lit?

Yes, all required exit signs must be lighted at all times by a reliable light source to ensure visibility, especially during power outages or low-light conditions. This is a critical legal requirement mandated by national building codes like NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) and the International Building Code (IBC), which are adopted and enforced by state and local authorities.

How long do LED exit signs last?

LED exit signs are highly durable and energy-efficient, with their LED components typically lasting 50,000 to 100,000 hours, often translating to over 10 years of continuous operation. The internal battery backup, however, usually needs replacement every 3-5 years.

LED Exit Lights

A lot of our exit signs also come as an emergency exit lights combo, and you can choose between either green or red exit sign lettering. Be sure to check your state’s building codes, though, because some states do require certain colors. New York and Chicago, for example, require a red exit sign. Other states are fine with either red or green, but actually have a recommended color. Contrary to popular belief, led exit signs aren’t actually battery-powered. Instead, they’re equipped with a battery backup that is able to power up the led exit signs in case electricity goes out. But, for it to work, you’ll need to hardwire it to your building’s external power source. It’ll last you for about 90 minutes, with a re-charge time of about 24 hours.

Safety LED Light FAQs

Are LED lights against fire code?

No. LED lights are generally safe and not a fire risk when installed correctly. Problems typically arise only with poor-quality items that overheat or use incompatible components. Choosing UL-listed LED safety lights is the safest way to ensure code compliance.

Do LED security or safety lights use a lot of electricity?

Not at all. LED lights are much more energy-efficient than incandescent or halogen fixtures, producing the same brightness with a fraction of the electricity.
