Emergency LED Exit Sign

An emergency LED exit sign is a sign that reads “EXIT” and uses energy efficient light emitting diode (LED) light strips for illumination. LED exit signs have replaced conventional incandescent exit signs because of their efficiency and longevity. LED exit signs are a popular choice for both new construction and retrofit projects. Exit signs are mandatory safety fixtures required by local, state, and federal building codes. LED exit signs are ideal for applications where electricity is immediately available. If electricity is unavailable, consider installing a non-electrical exit signs. All Exitsigns.net exit signs are UL Listed and approved for use in the United States, Mexico, Canada, and the world.

There are many different types of LED exit signs. The most affordable are thermoplastic, the most durable are steel and aluminum, and the best looking are Edge-Lit modes. Depending on your type of installation, one of these models will be the right sign for you.
