Fire Exit Signs

Fire exit signs, more commonly known as exit signs, are required life safety devices that provide a lighted version of the word EXIT, and which are used to aid the egress of building occupants during emergencies such as fires and earthquakes. Fire exit signs are required and regulated by local, state, and federal building codes. These building codes outline where fire exit signs should be placed throughout your facility, as well as what type of sign is required. All exit signs are required to be illuminated, but not all models require electricity. The Exit Store manufactures both electrical and non-electrical exit signs that are UL Listed and compliant for the United States and Canada. Fire exit signs begin at less than $20 per unit and vary depending on style, design, application, and features.

Fire exit signs are required in all facilities

Electrical exit signs use LED light strips (light emitting diodes), which are efficient and powerful. LED exit signs consume less than 5 watts of electricity while being able to be seen from more than 100 feet away. We offer LED exit signs with red and green letters; both colors are compliant around the country. When choosing an LED exit signs, consider the application, environment, budget, and design of the project. We offer affordable thermoplastic, durable cast aluminum, and stylish Edge-Lit models. All of our LED exit signs connect using 120/277v electricity and come with a battery backup system to keep the sign on in case of an emergency power outage.

Combo units are a 2 for 1 solution for your emergency light and exit sign needs

If you need to purchase an exit sign and an emergency light fixture, consider installing a combo exit sign with lights model. Combo models feature an LED exit sign with top/side mounted emergency lights. Only one electrical connection is needed and there is only one fixture to maintain. An easy push button allows testing of the unit at any time. The Exit Store offers a variety of different combo models, one of which will work for your applicaiton.

Self-luminous are completely self reliant and last up to 20 years

If electricity is not accessible where you need to install your illuminated exit sign, consider a non-electrical illuminated exit sign. Save the cost of hiring an electrician and choose a self-luminous or photoluminescent exit sign. Both types of non-electrical exit signs are UL 924 Listed and comply with the same fire code regulations and building specifications as electrical exit signs. Self-luminous exit signs illuminate using a glowing form of hydrogen gas, called tritium, which provides reliable EXIT lighting for up to 20 years. There is absolutely no source of power required to power a self-luminous exit sign and they can be used for both indoors and outdoors EXIT sign applications.

Photoluminescent exit signs are code compliant and non-electrical

Photoluminescent exit signs illuminate by absorbing light and then glowing when dark conditions are present. Photoluminescent exit signs are popular for commercial applications where light is present to charge the face of the sign while the building is occupied. Only a small amount of light is needed to charge the sign, which is easily satisfied by the output of the normal lighting system in a hotel, office, or retail store. Photoluminescent exit signs last for 25+ years so maintenance costs are eliminated and many of the models that we offer can be recycled at the end of their useful life. Self-luminous and photoluminescent exit signs can be configured for single and double sided applications.
