When you manage buildings, “simple and reliable” beats “fancy and finicky.” Our Exit Signs / Emergency Lights collection is built around that idea: dependable visibility during a power loss, clear wayfinding in stressful moments, and straightforward upkeep your team can actually sustain. Whether you oversee a single site or a multi-facility portfolio, the goal is the same—keep people safe, stay compliant, and avoid surprise maintenance. For areas where wiring is impractical or power isn’t available, consider battery-free tritium exit signs to maintain visibility without adding circuits.
What Facility Managers Care About Most
-
Code & compliance: UL 924 listings and Life Safety alignment so inspectors don’t slow your day down.
-
Dependable runtime: Standard 90-minute battery backup for evacuations and generator transition windows.
-
Low-touch upkeep: Self-testing options to reduce clipboards, plus clear indicators for “pass/fail” at a glance.
-
Durability: Choices for damp/wet locations, higher ceilings, vandal-prone areas, and industrial spaces.
-
Standardization: Fewer SKUs across campuses means easier training, faster spares, and consistent results.
Picking the Right Configuration (No Guesswork)
Start with the application, then match the fixture to the job:
-
Exit signs: Thermoplastic for everyday corridors, steel for tougher spaces, and edge-lit for architectural areas. Red or green letters, single or double face, and mounting that fits your doorway and sightline.
-
Emergency lights: Integrated LED heads for simple installs or remote heads where you want light coverage away from the sign.
-
Combo units: A single fixture that combines the EXIT legend with adjustable emergency heads—ideal for stair towers, long hallways, and retrofit budgets where fewer electrical boxes matter.
-
Environment: Wet-location options for exterior doors and canopies; high-output versions for tall ceiling bays; tamper-resistant choices for schools and public spaces.
-
Maintenance features: Look for self-testing/self-diagnostics, accessible batteries, and standardized replacement parts.
Compliance Without the Headaches
If you’ve ever prepped for an inspection, you know the routine—monthly function checks and an annual full-duration test. Choosing self-testing Exit Signs / Emergency Lights turns that into a quick visual sweep: a status LED or on-board log lets your team verify, document, and move on. For multi-site teams, standardizing on one family reduces the training curve and keeps truck stock simple: one charger board, one battery type, one legend panel set.
Design & Placement Tips
-
Map the path: Walk the egress route like an occupant would. Ensure continuous illumination and clear sightlines to each EXIT.
-
Mind the height: For tall spaces, choose higher lumen heads or remote heads to push light to the floor where it’s needed.
-
Plan the mounts: Wall, ceiling, and end-mount kits should match door swings and corridor turns so arrows and heads point the right way.
-
Label circuits: Keep panels and breakers documented. It saves time during annual tests and after-hours calls.
-
Stock smart: Keep a small shelf of batteries, legend panels, and a couple of universal fixtures for same-day swaps.
Make It Easy on Your Team
A good egress plan is repeatable. Choose a core set of exit signs, emergency lights, and combo units that cover 90% of your scenarios, then add a wet-location or high-output option for the edge cases. That way, every new project, tenant upfit, or renovation feels like a familiar checklist—not a fresh research project. Fewer models to learn, quicker installs, faster inspections, and a safer building, day in and day out.
If you’re updating a single corridor or standardizing a portfolio, this collection gives you practical choices that work in the real world—because your time is too valuable to spend chasing parts, deciphering manuals, or failing an inspection over a small detail.
